Does anyone know anything about a GUESS or GUEST family that lived in Claiborne or Hancock County, Tennessee in the early to mid 1800s? My ggg grandmother was supposed to be Nancy E. GUESS, born around 1804 in Alabama. She married Adam HOPKINS of Claiborne County, Tennessee in the early 1820s. They were listed in the Claiborne County census in 1830 and 1840. In 1849 or 1850 the family left for Iowa with a number of other families from the area. Nancy became ill during the trip, and died shortly after they arrived in Iowa. Adam's brother Elijah HOPKINS reportedly married Nancy's sister Sarah (Sally) GUESS, born c1812. The only other record I have found for a GUESS or GUEST in this area was a Joshua GUESS listed in Dist. 11 in the 1839 Claiborne County Tax List. I would love to hear from anyone that might know something about this family! Thanks! Janet Messer Micanopy, Florida Researching BISHOP - HOPKINS - COLE - CLOUSE - CLARK - WEAVER - GUESS
