1. Would like information on the family of Elizabeth (Betsy) Upchurch or Rumbley born September 07, 1825 and died March 25, 1870. She married James Richamond (J. R.) Weaks/Weeks. 2. Also need help in finding the family of Martha (Mattie) Ellis born probably in the 1850's. I hope to connect her to an Ellis family. 3. Need help with Joseph Brannon. He was likely born around 1835-1840 and lived in Henry Co. His daughter was Amanda C. (Manda) Brannon, born 1859 in Henry Co. Thanks, Pat

Would she be related to John L. and his wife Elizabeth (Haskins) Jenkins? Or their daughter Martha (Snodgrass (first marriage)) Jenkins (she was married to R. C. Haskins)? I am trying to find out about them. Maybe they are somehow related? Robyn

Neither of these surnames appears in the Henry Co. 1860 census, nor does Madison or Harcourt. In fact, a surname Hancout does not appear in any census index I have for any state. Any other guesses as to what they might have been? --- JOAN MORRIS <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, Have any of you ever heard of a Machison > (possibly Madison) & Hancout funeral directors > or funeral service in Henry Co TN back in the > 1850s?

Hello I am researching the Jenkins family in early Henry Co. Lucy Ann Jenkins was born abt. 1838 in Paris, TN. I have no documentation just word of mouth. So any help in that area would be appreciated. Lucy's parents were Thomas W. and Mary D. Jenkins. They all moved to Calloway Co abt. 1840. A cousin just told me she may have married in 1881 to Thomas Pritchett. She died and buried in Grapevine Cemetery in TN. Is this cemetery in Henry Co? Anyone connected to the Pritchett family? Jenkins family is my brick wall. Nina Williams WA State

Nina, I have been trying to get information on a Pritchet Family. My Grandmother was Annie Pritchet, As far as I know she was born in 1882 in Blythesville, Arkansas she married Thomas Martin we believe Whitton Arkansas, they moved all over. They were in Tishomingo Mississippi and Hickman Kentucky Possible in Jackson, Tennessee. I have no names for her mom or dad and if this is someone of yours I would appreciate any information you might have.

Hello, Have any of you ever heard of a Machison (possibly Madison) & Hancout funeral directors or funeral service in Henry Co TN back in the 1850s? I saw the names on an old legal document associated with a coffin, etc. I assume it was the name of the funeral directors. I was told there are no records of death as far back as 1854 in Henry Co. I thought those 2 names might be a clue, or at least a place to start looking. Does anyone recognize the names? Thanks muchly, Joan Broach Morris

I'm related to Mattie Weaks. Robert Weaks, her dad, was one of my great great grandfathers. Therefore, I would be extremely interested in learning more about the Parker family, as well. Thanks, Virginia P.S. Another good reason to read all of the messages that comes in to the site.

Sorry I didn't answer right away. I'm covering several responses in this e-mail. Thanks for the assistance. Pat 1. Thanks Betty for searching the McEvoy book. I bought one when I was visiting Henry Co. several years ago. Keep up the good work because not everyone has a book and would greatly appreciate your help. 2. Don't know about your William Parker. 3. I was searching for Wm. Edward Parker's parents. Today, I found his name is actually William Ecce (Ed) Parker who m. Mattie Weaks. His father was David Allison Parker and his mom was Sophronia Warren Smith. Does anyone have info on these? 4. I don't have a Lula Mae or Dudley Parker in my file. I would suggest you start collecting every Parker you can find in Henry Co., around Lula's age. Sooner or later, you might be able to piece a family together. I have a "working" file where I keep all kinds of information that may pertain to a certain family, in the future. It is quite large and it has been very helpful. There is a J. M. Parker b. abt. 1826 and d. April 23, 1903 at the age of 77. He is probably among the first Parkers in the Henry Co. area. He m. Mazonie Charles. They had a son, James "Coleman" Parker b. November 26, 1867. He m. Johnnie B. McFadden. They had a son, Willie "Herbert" Parker b. May 28, 1894. He married Mary Josephine Swindell.

Pat: I'm interested in the information you posted about Edward B. Parker, Jr. and Cordelia Kennedy. E. B. Parker, Jr. was my paternal grandfather. After Cordelia died, he married my grandmother, Annie Elizabeth Davis of Montgomery Co., TN. They had two children, E. B. P., III, my father, and John Fowlkes Parker, who married Marjorie Trousdale. John and Margie had no children.. I've never heard of a William Edward in my family. Could you enlighten me here?

A note on census access: Check your local libraries to see if any of them have or know of an area library that has a service called Heritage Quest Online, from ProQuest. Many libraries subscribe to this. It has almost all the censuses, most of them indexed and searchable. It also has online images of 20,000 plus genealogy and local history books. The entire 1880 census is online at the Mormon/LDS site (free to all) at http://familysearch.org Just click on Search for Ancestors and search away! Other free sites are at state and county rootsweb sites and US Genweb, e.g. And learn to do all sorts of internet searches with various free search tools (such as google.com). There is a wealth of info out there... I would suggest you learn as much as you can from all these before investing in commercial access. --- Betty & Mike Davey <[email protected]> wrote: > lorelle marinello wrote: > > > I'm considering subscribing to Ancestry.com > and wondered what you all > > think of it.

Morgan, My paternal grandmother's maiden name was Parker. Her name was Ello Bea Parker and she was born in Henry County, TN in 1924. Her father, Willie Herbert Parker was born in 1894 in Henry County to James Coleman Parker (b. 1867 in Tennessee) and Johnnie McFadden (b. 1874 in Henry County). Other than that I have very little information on my Parkers in Henry County. Do you recognize any of those names ??

Do you have any tips regarding their service? > > Lorelle Hi Lorelle, Is ancestry helpful? Of course they are. But if you're just starting out chances are you dont need ALL their services. If you dont have a direct link to your ancestors who may have come from say, England or Wales then you dont need to spend money on their UK collection or immigration collection yet. You probably dont need the historcal newspapers either but you pretty much have to have the census subscription to get anywhere searching for your families. And you may want the US records. So, pay for only what you need now. You can always add more later if you choose. And dont forget how many wonderful free sites are on the net because of the research provided by thoughtful, dedicated volunteers! Hope this is helpful to you. Betty
