Do any of you know of a Sarah Willis who married Lambert Bunch. They ended up in McMinn Co. but I don't know where they started out. Lambert was born about 1815 in Virginia and Sarah was born about 1820 in Tennessee. I sure would like to know who her parents were.

Looking for info on the following family found in 1850 Hancock Co, TN Census. George HERD born abt. 1818 wife Lucy born abt. 1820 son Britain born abt. 1839 dau Celia born abt. 1843 son Tepton born abt. 1845 son James born abt. 1847 This could be the family of other children that were orphaned at an early age. They are: Cainan Charles born 2-5-1851 died 1-1918 Martha born abt. 1855 George Jesse born 3-10-1857 All born along the Clinch River in Eastern TN. Celia, James Lacy, Cainan Charles, Martha, & George Jesse came to TX. Celia married Joseph M. Barns/Barnes (b. AL abt. 1826) and they have the youngest three living with them in 1870 Limestone Co, TX Census. James lived in the following TX counties-Lamar, Fannin, Parker & buried in Jack. Cainan was married in Limestone County, TX and is buried in Searcy, AR. George Jesse lived in Lamar, Hall (buried 1920) counties in TX. I have found no record of these children prior to 1870 Limestone Co, TX Census. I hope to find their parents and the 1850 TN Hancock County Census if the closest thing I have found after many years of searching. Thanks, Linda Herd Henry, Ft Worth, TX

Bob, You'll notice that in the Larkin WILLIS bible record that it states that Larkin WILLIS married to Elizabeth (SIZEMORE) STAPLETON on 18 February, 1819. That date of death for William STAPLETON of 1814-1819 is close but I do not have a specific date of death for him. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Betty Hughes" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, December 30, 2007 4:49 PM Subject: Re: [TNHAWKIN] Larkin WILLIS Bible Record > Sam: > Excellent.

Bob, The only thing I have is that he died 1814-1818 and is buried on Copper Ridge in Cantwell Valley, Hawkins County, Tennessee. His widow, Elizabeth (SIZEMORE) STAPLETON remarried to Larkin WILLIS as his second wife (no children). William STAPLETON and Elizabeth SIZEMORE had a dau., Sally STAPLETON, that married Larkin WILLIS' son, James Larkin WILLIS. It was through Sally STAPLETON'S and James Larkin WILLIS' son, Iredell Campbell WILLIS, that I descend. Iredell C. WILLIS and Sarah (MANIS) LAWSON, widow of Civil War soldier, Palestine LAWSON, had a "natural child", my Great-Grandfather, Rufus LAWSON, Sr. at Eidson, Hawkins County, Tennessee, on 29 November, 1865. This child, Rufus, was raised by William LAWSON and his wife, Eliza FRAZIER, the dau. of Waitman FRAZIER, as their own son. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Betty Hughes" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, December 30, 2007 4:49 PM Subject: Re: [TNHAWKIN] Larkin WILLIS Bible Record > Sam: > Excellent.
