DeKalb County TN ancestors I am searching for are: LUCINDA "LOU" BRAY (b. abt 1830) was the daughter of Tempa Bray and an unknown Mr. Bray. She appears in the 1850 Warren Co TN census in the household of Tempa Bray, a female head of household. She appears in the 1860 DeKalb CO TN census in the household of Robert N. "Nix" Cathcart. She married Leroy "Lee" Braswell of Dry Creek on November 18, 1865 in Warren Co TN. She was Braswell's second wife. Their children were Ella Frances, Herschel, and Charles. I am searching for the father of Lucinda Bray. WILLIAM EMERY CUBBINS (abt 1820 - 1848). He married Unicey Cubbins (1818 - 1890, dau of Sampson Braswell and Priscilla Williams of Dry Creek). Their children were: John Emery Cubbins (b. abt 1840), Paralee (3 Mar 1841 - 26 Feb 1915), and Jane (b. abt 1845). [Paralee and her husband James Roland "Red Jim" Fuston were my gg-grandparents.] I can find nothing about William Emery Cubbins except a record of the court's making provision for his widow. MALINDA ADELINE HENDRIX (b. abt 1829) was the wife of Dixon Allen Parker [son of Lewis Parker and Elizabeth "Betsy" Yeargin]. I am seeking information about her and her ancestry. NANCY HOLLINGSWORTH (b. 1812) was the wife of Josiah "Si" Fuston. I am looking for her parents and family. DOCK MURPHY (b. abt 1832) married Eliza Dennis (dau of Henry Dennis and Lafatia "Patience" Parker) on 2 Aug 1849. They initially lived with the Dennis family in the Gassaway community, just outside the DeKalb County line. Dock Murphy's name has been spelled as Murfrey, Murphey, Murphrey, as well as Murphy. He was sometimes listed by the initials "B.F." or "D.F." I am looking for his ancestors and family. DORCAS SQUIRES and TABITHA SQUIRES. Dorcas Squires was the wife of Meredith Ballinger and mother of David Thomas Ballinger (1848 - 1935) of Dry Creek. [David married Mary Jane Cathcart, dau of George W. Cathcart and Demaris Braswell.] It appears Dorcas died at David's childbirth, and Meredith married her sister Tabitha. There is a family tradition that Dorcas and Tabitha were orphans raised by Dr. J. G. Squires of Liberty TN and they adopted his surname even though not legally adopted. I am searching for the ancestry and/or information about Dorcas Squires and Tabitha Squires.
