I also have (31) PATTON individuals listed... Robbie

My MEADOWS (MEADOR/MEADORS) came from VA after The American Revolution. They settled in Smith, Macon and Sumner Counties of TN. They had strong ties with the SIMMONS families. In my database, I found the following: CARNEY (1) GOWER (12), 1600's-1800's and also spelled as GOURE. GRIMES (2) Jack & John, 1800's JOHNSON (several hundred), 1700's-1900's LEE (36), 1800's-1900's SANDERS (42), 1800's-1900's SIMMONS (several hundred), 1700's-1900's NOTE: I did not locate any of the people listed on the original post to the list. I would be happy to check and see if there are any individuals in my database, if this will help someone on the list. Also, I have several online subscriptions in various databases and would be happy to see if I can locate any pertinent info for anyone. Robbie Meadows-O'Brien aka TNKinDigger@aol.com

In my MEADOWS database, I have a Thomas Gregory PATTON, b. 28OCT1941, Juntsville, MO; married to Kathy CARNEY. My records cite that they were m. 26JUN1966. Thomas Gregory PATTON's parents were Paul Thomas PATTON, b. 28JUN1917 and Norma Louise MEADOR, b. 07MAR1921. in Quincy, IL. They were m. 24SEP14939. Their children were Thomas Gregory PATTON (above), Paula Sue PATTON and Molly Ann PATTON. Robbie

Lori, I looked and this is what I found: Elisha Gower - no Sally Ferguson - no Any Pattons - no Tabitha Gower - no Ephraim Simmons - no. But I have a Rachel Simmons who married Henry "Harry" Tuggle Lee in 1817, probably in Davidson Co., Tennessee. Henry Tuggle Lee's 2nd wife was Jane Sanders, whose brother Jacob Sanders m. Frankie Gower in 1821 and whose other brother Isaac Sanders m. Martha "Patsy" Gower in 1830, all in Davidson Co., Tennessee. Is your Susan Gower m. to Ephraim Simmons? What year and where, etc.? I have a Susan Elvira Gower, m. to Robert (or Richard) Allen Sanders in 1866 in Williamson Co., Illinois. Her parents are Larkin Gower and Rhapsody Grimes from Davidson County, Tennessee. His parents are William Carroll Sanders and Delaney Sanders (her maiden name). These two Sanderses are not connected (yet) to my main Sanders branches. I am really interested in your Carney line, since I have very little on this. Please let me know about this line back to William Carney. I would really like to know about this. I have an Edward Sanders, but probably not your. He married Hattie Johnson. No dates, but his father James Sanders was b. in 1860 in Williamson County, Illinois. No Brizendines in my info. No other connections that I can think of, but I do think the Simmons/Gower connection is interesting.

Mary, A few years ago I did correspond with Dean Bradford, but I don't think I have his e-mail, etc., anymore. Did he write a book? Could you send me info about him?

Well that was too close not to pursue. My AUSTINs, the direct line, are from Dickson county, but on the east side of the county near Burns . We both know that's just "spittin'-distance" from Cheatham county. Grandmother Susie Evelyn Austin, born 1901, daughter of Samuel Houston Austin, son of Houston Gaines Austin, son of Samuel Demetrius Austin of North Carolina. PINKERTON is an alternate spelling for my surname PILKERTON lived in Davidson county on the other side of Cheatham county. My grandfather William Ervin b. 1909, son of George Henry, son of Lewis Bradshaw, son of Aaron of Virginia. Pilkertons migrated into Tennessee from Kentucky after the Civil War. If any of these threads weave through your tapestry I'd love to spin a little yarn with you. Suzanne

Some of my surnames have Cheatham County connections--and some are from Davidson, Hickman and Dickson Counties--among others: ALRED, AUSTIN, BELL, CATER, CATHEY, DAVIDSON, DELL, ESTES, FISHER, GILMORE, HALL, HOLLAND, McEWEN, McFARLIN/McFARLAND, MEADOR/MEADORS/MEADOWS, MORRIS, MOSS, NASH, PINKERTON, ROBERTS, SPRINGER, WINTER(S) Robbie Meadows-O'Brien

I couldn't help but notice the surname MAJORS listed...My Great Aunt, Louise MEADOWS is married to a Wilbur MAJORS and lives in Ashland City, TN. Louise and Wilbur are still living and have (3) daughters. Robbie

Yes, I have some information regarding them in my book. I don't know who Albert Patton's parent's were though. Mary

Jane: I have that line in the book. Do you know Dean Bradford? He helped me so much with the Illinois lines. The book covers Abel Gower, Jr.'s descendants for about 11 generations, and is documented as much as was humanly possible. I researched this for five years. I am descended from Lewis Garrett Gower and Mary "Polly Fowler. I could not find proof for my line., but believe Lewis is the son of Robert Gower, but it is possible he was the son of Elisha Gower. Mary

Jane, I have two Gower connections in my direct line. Tabitha Gower b. 1829 m.January 20, 1848 Davidson Co., TN to Albert Patton b. 1825 in TN. Her parents were Elisha Gower & Sally Ferguson m. January 12, 1818 Davidson Co., TN. Do You have any Patton info? My second Gower connection is Susan Gower to Ephriam Simmons. I do not know very much about her. Need help with her. My GGrandmother was Myra Mae Carney. She married Frank Julius Brizendine. I have a lot of the Carney info back to William Carney. I went through all the Gowers I have & no Gower/Carney connections. I do have a Carney & Sanders connection. Linda Freda Carney (Myra Mae's sister) married Thomas Dempse Sanders Dec 24, 1930. Their children are Joyce Ann & Bonnie Jo Sanders. I also have Edward Sanders married to Jane Brizendine. No dates estimates only. Jane's Dad was my gggggrandfather's brother. Do You have info on Edward Sanders?

Mary , My Gower/Patton connection is Tabitha A. Gower b.1829 m.Jan. 20, 1848 Davidson Co.,TN to Albert Patton b.1825. I know nothing about the Pattons. Does this sound familiar? Thanks, Lori Murphy SolomonMar@aol.com wrote: > Who are your GOWER and PATTON ancestors?? > > Mary

Bettie, I also have BINKLEY, CARNEY, and FELTS in my line. Also one Hudgins - Holloway HUDGINS who m. Ailsey GENT whose father was Charles GENT, 1754-1843 (d. in Robertson Co., Tenn.) a Rev. War soldier from Georgia. I have already put my Binkley lines on the list, but here are the otheres: I have several FELTS. One is James N. FE;TS, father of William Hargis Buck FELTS, b. about 1811 in Robertson Co., Tennessee, and m. Narcissa J. "Susan" SANDERS, b. 1832, dau. of Jacob SANDERS b. 1802 and Frankie GOWER b. about 1802, both in Robertson Co., Tenn.. Also Martin V. FELTS, who m. Rebecca F. LUCKEY, and whose dau Candace FELTS m. Wyatt Henry GRANT in 1885 in "the Felts home" - (in s. Illinois). Also Drury FELTS, b. 1818, m. Mary "Polly" HUNTER, daughter was Jane Elizabeth FELTS, b. 1846 who m. James M. GENT of Robertson Co. Tenn. As for CARNEY, I have my brick walls - brothers Washington, Jack and William (b. about 1815) KEARNEY/ KARNEY/ CARNEY, from the Bowling Green area of Kentucky (although William's children were born in Ky., then Tenn, then Ky. again, so one theory is that he straddled the state line!) Washington and William came to southern Illinois in the 1850's; Jack stayed in Kentucky. I would love more information about them or any hints as to where they came from.

Couldn't help but notice that you mentioned that some of your folks are buried in a "Family Cemetery" in Neptune. Just wondered if this might be one that I haven't transcribed yet....Can you tell me what it is called and where it is? Thanks. Reba
