Good morning everyone, The request for help shown below came to Vanessa several days ago. I have searched in the ROOTWALKER library for information that could help these people and haven't been able to find anything for them. If any of you have information about the FURLOUGH or FURLOW families, please help if you can. Thanks! God Bless America! Stan Magnesen ROOTWALKER site/list coordinator ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hello- I am searching for my gfather's family, his name was Charlie Milton Furlough. His father was Thomas or Tom Furlough. Tom and his brother James appear on the Williamson Co., TN 1891 Voters List. My gfather was born April 11,1884. In August 1909, he married Jennie Wall or Walls. They divorced and Jennie and her five children remained in Williamson Co. and I understand they changed the spelling of their name to Furlow. In May, 1949 their oldest son Harlie was killed by a man with which his wife Hazel was having an affair. This is all the info I have, but with a marriage, divorce and killing, there has to be records. Do you have any suggestions or info? Thank you for any help! ~~~~~~~~~~
If I may make a suggestion. I am working on a murder committed in Cannon Co. by Wilson Co residents. The boys were convicted of 1st degree murder. I contacted: Tennessee State Library and Archives 403 7th Avenue North Nashville, TN 37243-0312 I do not have the email address (can't find it) on hand but I have done extensive emailing back and forth with them and they came up with a ton of information for me! I was able to get the convict record and this week a cousin stopped by the Archives and got the 298 page manuscript on the supreme court ruling on the trial. If the 'questioner' knows the county they can access the county records by calling the court house on the phone and find out if the trial can be located. Also try newspapers of the era and of course the TN State Library and Archives may be your final destination. There will be foot work but after hours of work I have hit pay dirt. My family finally has the full story - there were rumors for so many years and it is nice to lay out the facts at last. Good luck.
