Seiver was with Peter Turney in a lot of stuff. I have followed him, because Peter was always near by. I have loved the story of how he met his second wife, think they aught to make it into a movie for the romance channel. I have not read your message in detail, but sure I will be getting back to you. Yes, this is the group ole Peter Turney hung out with, he was sheriff in Lost State of Franklin...a real political animal. I am from his brother Henry who was with the Cumberland Group. So we will swap info on Shelby, Campbell, Looney, etc. Never have so many future leaders come from such a small group as the ones who set up the country of Franklin, or from their sons who watched them in action. Real political people I guess. Sarah stayed in VA, do you know more about where she was living? I understand she was not strong, so he went to the frontier without her, and she later died in VA. Wasn't one of the Hawkin men married to daughter of Joist Hite? Mary
