Graves, minor children of his and heirs of Nancy White, deceased. He later renewed this guardianship for two more years. He remarried and had 5 more children as shown in Giles Co TN census in 1850 and 1860/ They lived in Campbellsville Twp. Giles Co in 1850 and in Culleoka Twp. in 1860. He was a farmer. All of his children were born in TN. I have added several family lines together in this message as so many families are intermarried, it may help someone where they least expect to find it. If you find errors.... POST THEM ON SITE please. I WILL SEE THEM THERE AND CORRECT MY RECORDS IF THEY PROVE TO BE CORRECT. MOST IMPORTANT< OTHERS WILL SEE THE CHANGES> I do not want to send anyone down the wrong path. Made that trip too many times myself. Happy New Year to all my cuzzins. Ginny Keefer nee White
