Hi Cindy, This is what I have: General Forrest Partin was the first son of Hightower Partin (1792-1876) and his young second wife, Mary J. Thompson (1848-1904). The surname of Partin was also spelline Parton, Pardon, Parden, etc. General Forrest Partin (1864-1907), a blacksmith, married twice: (1) Nancy L. Warren on 28 Aug 1884, Giles Co TN -- 4 children (Andrew, Nancy N., William F., Icie M.) (2) Mary Johnsie Warren on 23 Feb 1905, Giles Co TN -- 0 children (1) first, to 16 year older lady, Nancy L. Warren (1848-1900), daughter of William Warren and Moriah Elizabeth Burns. William Warren (c1817-1900) was the son of Daniel Warren (1791-1876) and first wife, Nancy. Moriah Elizabeth "Betsie" Burns (red hair and smoked a pipe), was the daughter of Andrew Burns (1797-c1859) and first wife, a Miss Holley. There is an article and a wedding picture of General Forrest and Nancy Warren Partin on pages 326-7 in the book, The Heritage of Giles County, Tennessee, published in 2006. Articles and pictures of daughters, Nancy Naomia Partin and Icie Mae Partin are on pages 327-8 in the same book. Articles and pictures of son, William F. Partin (changed spelling to Pardon) and family are on pages 322, 323, 324 and 325 of the same book. Pulaski Citizen Newspaper, Giles Co TN, dated October 1, 1908 Friendship Community Miss Icie Parton visited Mrs. Henry Warren. [Ice Mae Partin/Parton died 23 Aug 1909] (2) and married second, to Mary Johnsie Warren (1863-1925) on 23 Feb 1905, Giles Co TN. General Forrest Partin died in 1907, so they were only married a couple years -- no children. I have no definite parents for Mary Johnsie Warren, but possible parents as Johnson W. Warren (son of Thomas and Unknown first wife) and Louise Egaltine Freeman, per a previous message from you. General Forrest and Nancy L. (Warren) Partin are buried at Bradshaw Cemetery, Giles Co TN, with only rocks as markers, but descendants know which rocks mark their graves. - - - - - Mary Johnsie (Warren) Partin married as her second husband, a twin, William C. Myrick (born 1836; of Madison Co AL at time of marriage) on 28 Sep 1909 in Fayetteville, Lincoln Co TN. They are buried in LINCOLN COUNTY, TN - Flintville Cemetery. W. C. Myrick was the son of Lindsey P. Myrick (born 1810 NC) and Priscilla ___ (born 1814 VA). [Another researcher gave W. C. Myrick's twin as Susan Elizabeth Myrick. They were born 11 Apr 1936. And gave other siblings of W.C. Myrick as Carolyn, John, Eliza J., Edward, Martha E. Aaron J., Sarah C., Francis, James A.] Hope this helps some.
