I descend from Arthur Hesson through his daughter, Margaret, who married Thomas Jenkins. Their daughter, Sarah married Peter Johnson from Middle TN. I am descended from their daughter Mary, that married david Banks Sloan, son of Rankin Sloan ans Sarah Kelley. I recently unraveled an error in my family's transcription of Margaret's last name. Because back then, a double s looked like a P, they wrote down HaPon as a last name. I noticed in Thomas and Margaret's neighbors, there were Hessons and that double s looked like a P, and subsequently made the connection.I connected with a family member and he sent me more info. including a transcribed letter from a Wilkinson family member, dated 1899, but my computer crashed and now I lost the name of the person who sent it. Was it you? If so, thank you. I had my computer worked on this weekend. If it's not you, would youlike the info I have?
