Vivian, Thanks for the information. I hope Tom can help you with the Neills, etc. I have not traced the Duckworths further back than the 1820 and Hardin County TN. Following is the census information that I have on the family or families that lived here. Note that my g/g/aunt was Emily Whitlow that married Amos Duckworth ca 1870-71.
