He appears on census of Bedford Co. TN from 1850-1880. Theophilus married Sopha or Sophia around 1836, where? She was b. 1817-1818 TN.both her parents were from TN. and Theophiluss'parents were both b. NC. Theophilus and Sopha had the following children Manerva J, b.1837, Joseph H b.1839, ? Ann b. 1841, William T. b. 1843, Rachael C. b. 1846, Newcome or Newconet b. 1850, S.W. b.1853, and sarah J. 1857. The last census listing Theophilus and Sopha is 1880. I have recently been working with other researcher re: the children of John Theophilus and Mary Newcome which had a son Richard who i am looking at as being Theophiluss'father-but i have not yet made a definite connection. I would appreciate any help. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
