Good data indeed! John C. Sheffield was son of Alfred Sheffield and Hila Woodby. John was 11 on the 1850 census for Carter Co district 1. My 3rd great grandmother Mary Jane Snider born Dec 1797 was born in Carter Co. I am certain that her husband Whitney Sheffield was born there too. I have the following as probable brothers & sister to Whitney born 1801 George born abt 1804 Carter Co TN Alfred born abt 1812 Carter Co TN John D. born 1793 North Carolina Elizabeth born abt 1807 Carter Co TN I am certain that since Martha Shuffield born 1778 is their mother and James Sheffield who is in same county and same area born abt 1774 was their father. I just recently made the connection and highly interested in all Sheffield data. Thanks again, your efforts are most appreciated!
