Searching for information regarding Elisha VINZANT b. Unknown in Tennessee (county unknown) and d. 1844 in Newton County, Missouri. He married Ellender LEE, b June 24, 1810 in Tennessee (county unknown); d February 17, 1884 in Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana. They had the following children: David Marion Vinzant, b. 1837, Tennessee (county unknown); m. Sarah Matilda MAY, December 27, 1860, Monroe County, Indiana; d. March 21, 1892, Pickering, Nodaway County, Missouri. Ellen Vinzant, b. Tennessee (?) no other information. It is said that she married an unknown BROWN. William Everment Vinzant, b. June 17, 1844, Neosho, Newton County, Missouri; m. Rebecca East, February 17, 1867 in Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana; d. October 19, 1935, Decatur, Macon County, Illinois. In 1900 census, David shows father being born in Tennessee. Brother indicates father born in France. Could this be because France claimed a section of Tennessee when Elisha was born? So many questions and unfortunately, so few answers. Elisha and Ellender are very evasive. I have been searching 30 plus years and have found nothing. Any help is appreciated!

Augustus' son, Milton Henry Hamer, was my grandfather. Milton became involved in the oilfield and moved to Morgan City, Louisiana with his wife Beverly and his three children Greg, Milton Jr., and Connie. Milton Sr. passed in 1985. Our branches of the Hamer family tree still reside in those sections of Texas and in south Louisiana (Morgan City, Baton Rouge, + New Orleans) Hope this can be of help.

Oops, I said there could be errors on the Yarbrough/Davis family. Augustus Davis's daugher Hannah married William Yarbrough. Sorry, Martha was his mother, wife of Wm Yarbrough Sr. Sorry for the mistake! Karen

George Yarbrough married Celia Davis, and William Yarbrough married Martha Davis daughters of Augustus. I don't know the Augustus's wife. Augustus's mother Hannah Parkes? was left a widow with one small child and one unborn child (Gus) during the Revolution, and when she was elderly, her older son, Jonathan tried to get what was coming to her as Jonathan Sr.'s widow. They found that Jonathan Sr's brother had claimed land in Jonathan's name, so she was left out. Augustus was in Hardeman Co in 1850 and died before 1860.

Karen, could you tell me more regarding the Davis. I was recently in the Hardeman Co Courthouse, and found a "sale" for the estate of Augusta Davis --- it caught my eye due to the James H. Jordan (Jourdan) that bought some of the items -- as well as to all the Yarbroughs mentioned. Some of my Jordan's married Yarbrough's. Who did George marry? Thanks! Helen Hallmrker2@aol.com

Some of their letters have come down the years to me. I can assume their locations from many of the letters; Indiana, Knox County Tennessee, and Hardeman County Tennessee. One of these letters was written by one A. L. Hawn who resided in Hardeman County Tennessee. His letter is dated Arpil 11, 1880. In it he talks about the railroad that washed out and his involvement in reparing it. He also talks about the economic health of the country, and his own circumstances, mentioning his three "fine cows." In addition, in the letter, he recalls a trip to Saulsbury, "the next station West of us." He also mentions who I assume is his wife, Bettie. I can guess that her name was actually Elizabeth. Does anyone know of or perhaps is descended from A. L. and Bettie Hawn in or around Hardeman County Tennessee? Feel free to contact me via email at Lee@allgaierhawn.net Many thanks, Lee Hawn
