Hi, I'm trying to get links to my GARNER line who settled in Gibson Co. TN in the late 1800s. Part of their family migrated to TX. My gr-grandfather, William Morris GARNER (1855-1906), was born in TN (as was both his parents according to census data) actually moved to TX, had one child born there, but moved back to Gibson Co. TN. According to one of my older uncles, things didn't work out for him in TX. We assumed he had family there (aunts, uncles, possibly his father, etc.). We are trying to find William Morris GARNER's parents. We believe his grandparents are William GARNER (ca1802-1874) and Elizabeth from Hardin Co. TN (in 1850 & 1860 census). In 1870, the grandfather William GARNER shows up in Gibson Co. TN with a new wife, Charity H. GARNER (nee unknown) and lived near a town called "Kenton Station" (its called Kenton today). We are fairly certain that this William GARNER (1802) was the grandfather of our William Morris GARNER because of a Will made in Gibson Co. mentioning William Morris GARNER. We also know that William Morris had at least one sister, Lucinda. The most likely candidate for William Morris GARNER's father is Marshall J. GARNER. He was 17 living with his parents in Hardin Co. TN in the 1850 census. He was not listed with his parents on the 1860 census and we've been unable to ever find him again. Did Marshall J. move to TX before the 1860 census? If he was the father of William Morris GARNER, born in TN in 1855, he moved between 1855-1860. It also meant that Marshall J. GARNER was only 22 when William Morris GARNER was born. If what we assume is true, then Marshall J. GARNER would have married in TN, probably Hardin Co. around 1853-54. Can anyone throw any light on these GARNERS especially our elusive Marshall J. GARNER? Thanks and take care, Eddy G. Clark Gibson County TNGenWeb Coordinator

The URL is: http://mapping.usgs.gov/www/gnis/ Go there and then click "United States and Territories".

The nice thing about this site is that it doesn't just index current popu= lated places -- it also has information about churches, cemeteries, etc., and a= bout places that are no longer recognized as towns (identified as "historical"= ). For example, I filled in "Feature Name: Holly Grove" and "State or Territ= ory: Alabama" and got a list of 15 things named Holly Grave, showing the count= y and some other information which I omit here: Holly Grove AL Walker Holly Grove Cemetery AL Baldwin Holly Grove Cemetery AL Chilton Holly Grove Cemetery AL Conecuh Holly Grove Cemetery AL Lamar Holly Grove Church AL Chilton Holly Grove Church AL Conecuh Holly Grove Church AL Marshall Holly Grove Methodist Church AL Conecuh Holly Grove Mine AL Walker Holly Grove Number 15 Mine AL Walker Holly Grove P.

Hi: On the1870 census in district 9, hh#23 Griffin, Thomas age 39 born in TN Susan 27 born in " Cornelius (f) 2 " This family was in McNairy Co in 1880. Can someone tell me Susan's maiden name??? Was she a WOOD? Where did they marry? I don't find a marriage in Hardin, McNairy Co. Did one of their sons marry Caldonia (Donia) Whitaker in 1888 in McNairy Co. TN. Sure hope someone out there is able to help me. Pat McNairy Co. TN

My Great Grandmother Nancy McCormack and my Great Grandfather James Erwin Baker were supposedly married in Hardin County Tenn. I know that James Erwin went to school there because I have one of his school books "The History of Hardin County" It's dated 1840. I can't find any information on my great grandmothers side of the family. I have an abundance of pictures for a family named Sanderson but have no one who can tell me how we are connected to them. One of the photographs has a picture of a baby and the name Sanderson. It is addressed to Nancy Baker. Under that it says grandmother but it isn't the same handwriting. As far as I know this was her only marriage. Does anyone have anything that could help me out? I would appreciate any help.

I am searching for any information on the Brandon families who lived in Hardin Co. TN from 1830-1900's. In particular, Philip Brandon, Christopher "Kit" Brandon, and John Philip Brandon.

Benny, I checked the 1880 Hardin Co. census today and found your James McLean family. Didn't find a Rosie but found Margaret with no middle name who is the right age.

Harry, I am going to call to see if you received the latest Genbook. I have made some progress, but I am not over the hump. Later. Drexel Hendon p.s. I cant get Pafmate to attach.to this e-mail.

Harry, I received the printed instructions. I am ready to try it. I thought I would go ahead and send the family file and let you see if that completes it. If not let me know. I am eager to get into your info. I'll let you know how it goes. Bill and Rufus I appreciate our contacts. I'm determined to make this work and I cannot fail with this many Hendons on task. More later. Drexel

I am in need of someone who has access to the 1880 Hardin Co. census, either index or otherwise. I am trying to confirm a birth of Rosie Mclean (McClain) about 1873. I believe her parents were James B and Rosana McClean. They were listed in the 1870 census, page 4 in the 4th Civil Dist. with 3 Children. They had a daughter, Mary J and two sons, C J, and William at that time. Any help would be welcomed. Benny Cooper benracer@ebicom.net
