David, I didn't find this family in the 1850 or 1860 Hamilton Co., TN census. They are probably listed in the Catoosa Co., GA censuses. BTW, Westview Cemetery is located on East Brainerd Road next to the (now called) Westview Cumberland Presbyterian Church across from the newly built Westview Elementary School. (If anyone on the list attended there - the old building is completely gone.) All the land for the church and school was donated by the IGOU family long ago.

I thought the IGOU family lived in the area of Birchwood. close to Meigs Co. I think the Igou Ferry Road is still there today. phebe morgan
