Hi Gaylon, I feel sure the men are all brothers but what do you know about a Doherty connection? When Dutton Hill and Jane Doherty sold that piece of land in 1869 he said they had a good right to sell it. I'd like to know where they got it and how? Did they inherit it?

Hi Trena, Thanks so much for clearing that up. I had wondered if the marriage was in Perry County but had no access to the records. I'll add this to my records and hope someday to prove the relationship of Dutton Hill to John Prior, Taylor L. and Campbell Hill.

Hi Phyllis, My records show that Rebecca was previously married to Conder. The marriage certificate for David LUNSFORD lists bride as Rebecca A. CONDER.

Renea, Could you ask your relatives if Rebecca Hill Lunsford had a prior marriage? The marriage records give: D.G. Lunsford to Rebecca A. Conder, 3-18-1896, by D.D. Mays, M.G. I looked in Decatur Co.

Marj I telephoned the grandson of Mary Jane Allen Stephens and asked about the date of birth of his grandmother and her brother. He is going to search any records that he has and see what he can find. The dates that you have do appear on their tombstones or at least that is what the books from Decatur and Henderson Counties say. Will let you know if I can find any additional verified facts. Barbara

Talked to my grandmother Mabel and great aunt Lilie, both sister-in-laws to Bertha Lunsford who married Lester Carrington. they said that Bertha's mother was Becky - Rebecca Ann Elizabeth Hill who married David Lunsford.

Although I have some Tubbs which are related collaterally, I have done no research on that line. However, I do have this information from the Decatur Co Deeds : 1846, Elizabeth Tubbs Miller and husband James Miller are selling their part as inheritors of Jeremiah Tubbs, Jr.'s inheritance from Jeremiah Tubbs, Sr. Maybe that will help you some.

Looking for any trace of William P Hampton and his family in Tennessee. William was born Aug 8 1789 in North Carolina. He married Malinda ( maiden name unknown) born about 1792 in Virginia. William and Malinda had seven children but I only have information on two of them. John H Hampton born 1818 in Tennessee and James P Hampton born 1827 in Tennessee. William and his family moved to what is now Dade County Missouri in 1833 and were some of the first settlers there. I have information on William's decendents but have not been able to find his parents or siblings. I would like to find out where in Tennessee William lived and where in Tennessee his sons were born. Would also like to share information with anyone researching the HAMPTON's in Tennessee. Thanks for your time Jaime JLee196@aol.com

I have a few sources for Pemiscot county, Missouri. So if anyone needs info from there, let me know and I'll try to help. Amy

Barbara, Thanks for pointing out the corrections for me. I have doubled checked my sources and will have to contact one of them for enlightenment! This is not my direct line, so I have not studied it very closely, and really appreciate any corrections! 1. The entry showing Elizabeth Harris as a 2nd wife of Robert Milton Brown, Jr. can only be explained by a) a bad merge of gedcom files, or b) gremlins! My master source, M. June Harris' gedcom, shows only one marriage for RMB, Jr.. 2. Re the children of John Riley and Nancy Allen, I again checked my source (usually impeccable) about these children born 4 months apart! The one which appears to be correct is Mary Jane "Jane", per the Christian Chapel Cemetery listing on the Henderson County GenWeb page (under Stevens, with husband John C. Stevens). Jane's brother, William, was buried at the Greener Cemetery in Henderson Co., but there is no listing of the individual names on the GenWeb page, so, for the time being, we will assume his is the birth date which is incorrect. My source has a photo of his headstone, so will check with her and hope she has her records with her at her new job! Back to you on this later! 3. Every source I have checked (7 of them) on the "Lela/Lena" difference shows "Lela" Hendrix Evans Hays! One source shows "Lelia", but the headstone listed under the "Hays" section of the Decaturville Cemetery does indeed show "Lela". Now this is a true case of gremlins! Cannot explain it otherwise! 4. Now for a question: I show Betty Eubanks Harris Dodd as "Eva Elizabeth "Betty" Eubank". Is there, or is there not an "s" on the end of the name? If there really IS, then I also need to talk to M. June Harris (my source) on this as well. Strangely enough, I have 13 Eubank's in my file, none with the "s" on the end. Do you think maybe the "13" caused the gremlins to attack? <Grin> Thanks again for the help. Will be contacting June Harris as soon as you let me know about the Eubank/Eubanks question. Marj Ferris
