Hello, I would like to find a site that contains it's query correspondence in mostly Shelbyville, Bedford County, TN. Most of my stone walls are in that town. Is there such a site? The person that I am having the most questions on is the wife of Patrick Fay, out of Galway County, Ireland. Her name is listed as Ann S. Fay in the 1870 federal census and mentioned in the "Marsh's Bedford County Tennessee Wills and Vital Records from Newspapers," as being the child of Robert Cannon and Miss Scales, and the wife of Patrick Fay. She is listed at "LDS" as Ann Donnalan, marrying to Patrick Fay, 13 May 1856. I would dearly like to find the answer to; Was her maiden name Ann S.Cannon or Ann S Donnalan? And, who were Patricks Fay's family. I have been told that Patrick is buried in the Old City Cemetery, and Ann S Fay as buried in Willow Mount, both in Shelbyville, TN. Thank you for your kindness.

I have found many mistakes in LDS family genealogies, so if it were me, I would tend to give the other source more credence. But does the LDS source say where the information came from?
