Hi, Still looking for any reference to Fountain and Sarah NORTON of Hawkins Co. Both born in VA ca. 1812-15 mar. and moved to Hawkins Co. Were living in Union Co. by 1850 - 60 and then up in Ky by 1870. We need names of children prior to 1850. Looking for a middle name of child / dau. named Barthena... b. abt. 1844. If it was Elizabeth then we are on a likely good trail to being our gg grandmother :-) Thanks, Ruth in IL

"L" James Laren Jacob Lawson Mormon Lawson Thomas Lee John Leonard George Levisey John Light George Long Joseph Long Michael Looney James Lovin Please keep in mind, we are looking for the burial of Rev. War Patriots as SAR does Grave Marker Services. The fact that a Patriot filed for a Pension in Hawkins Co. doesn't mean he died there. There were 3 Pension Acts in the 1830's and by that time most Patriots were in their 70's. In my 15 years of dealing with pensions and burials, due to the nature of that time frame, it is usually aboout 50/50 of them dying in same area as they filed for a pension. Don't disreguard the pension apps as they usually contain very valuable info.

Is there anyone who may have access to the 1920s marriage records? I am looking for a marriage record for LOUIS ROBINSON and Mary___? Probably married about 1923. Louis was born about 1902, would like to know who his parents were. I am guessing he was a descendant of Ezekiel Robinson. Thanks for any help, Paula
