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.
