Jinks, HOW INTERESTING! Do you know who the wife of Samuel Naill? Could you put the entire will and source on the list? As you know in the early deeds, James and Andrew Jackson are next to one another. It could be that "Carrey" is no longer living or that Carrey is one of those unknown sticks in the 1830 census who has moved on. or that he has mispoken and he means my five children. Are any other land parcels mentioned in Madison Co or elsewhere? Thanks Meredith PS Does anyone who is interested in Dyer Co remember a "Carrey" as a nickname?
