Catherine, I've checked my list and have most ot the names you mentioned. But I have followed a different sibling in both cases. HUNT James Hunt Sr and Mary Rackley had your William and also son John, born 24 May 1781 NC, he married Elizabeth Bryant, abt 1819; their child Dicy Ann Hunt,b 1823, m George W Shaw abt 1843; Their Child Thomas J Shaw, m. Rebecca L Murff; Their Son George Shaw married Lucy Ann Teasley; Their dau. Annie Shaw married D. Fox. The FOX family is the one I am working on now. They married into the Whitworth family by a sister of my GG Grandfather. James Hunt Sr and Mary Rackley also had a daughter named Lucy who married John Teasley, born 1755, They had a son John W Teasley Sr. b. 28 Dec 1788, who married Mary Hunter, in NC; Their child John W Teasley Jr. m Sarah Nicholson b. 1825; Their son Louis Scott Teasley married Melivina Tennessee ? Their dau. Leila Bell Teasley m. James Bailey BASFORD; I am tracing all Basford lines in this area. My greatgrandmother was Rebecca Lou Basford. The dau. of Zachariah Basford of Robertson, Cheatham Co. I have a little information on the parrents of James Hunt Sr above. >Henry, William>William>William. If you need more specific information I will send it (but it is not my research) GOWER: Now as for the Gowers, again we trace a different sibling. I have a Abel Gower Sr. who died in Davidson Co 1780. He came to TN on Donaldson flatboat. You list him as the II, I do not have his parents. I do have my Abel married to Mary ?, You have Mary Robertson, sister to James; I have the children of Abel Sr and Mary as the following: Russel, Charles, Engley, (m. Russell),Obedience, Elizabeth, Matthew,Able JR, David, and Nancy (m Moss). If their son Russell is your Rev. Russel who went to MO. we are still on the right track. BUT you have Russell's son listed as Robert born 1717, this is much to early a date for my Russel to have, to be your Russell. Also I do not have a Robert listed as a Child of Russell unless it is James who is listed as James R. Gower. I have Russel married to Charlotte ?. Their children were, Wilson, Joseph, Charlotte, Abel III, Nancy, Samuel (m. Koen), Elisha (m Patterson), William, (m. Crutchfield), James R. (m Evans) Wilson L above, son of Russell was born 1793, on Gower Island, in Davidson Co TN He married Charlotte Baird, 1812 and 2nd, Lucinda Page. 1820. Thier Children where. James Wilson, William, Shursey, Ephriam, Hiram, Larkin,(m Grimes. James Wilson Gower was a Free Will Baptist Minister and was married to Milly Head, the brother of George Head who was also a Free Will Baptist Minister. James and George and others were the founders of HEAD'S FREE WILL BAPTIST Church in Robertson Co. in the Gause Community. George Head gave the land , thus the Name "Head's" I descend from the Head family. George is a brother to my Hugh Head who were both sons of Robert Head It just so happens that I grew up in Head's Church and later became a Free Will Baptist minister now serving in Florida. I Have much more information on the lines of the Gowers. They married into my Head's several more times. The Wilson Gower bible is now in the Lib. of Head's Church and I used it along with Wilson Gower decendant information as well as other records to create this data. If you can use any of this and correct any I would appreciate it. Hope to hear from you soon, Jerry Whitworth Chipley FL.
