I'm looking for information on 3rd great-Grandparents William Watkins and Matilda Mason. They are in the 1850 Bedford census, 1860 Marion, Arkansas census and eventually moved to Douglas county Missouri. I found a William Wadkins in Lincoln County, Tennessee that matches perfectly. In the 1880 census, William's parents were born in VA and Matilda's father was born in GA. Does anyone have access to TN marriage records to see if there is one for Matilda and William? It looks like Martha Ann did not make it to Arkansas. Was also wondering if anyone had access to cemetery records for Bedford to see if she is there? 1840 Lincoln: William Wadkins Males <5 5-9 10-14 15-19 20-29 1 - (William Watkins) Females <5 2 (Mary & Nancy) 5-9 10-14 15-19 20-29 1 - (Matilda Mason Watkins) Federal Census - Bedford, Tennessee Civil District 18 Nov 29th, 1850 163, 163 William Watkins 38 m Laborer 350 TN CNR CNW Matilida 38 f TN CNR CNW Mary 13 f TN AS Nancy F 10 f TN AS Sarah E 8 f TN AS Irazella 6 f TN AS Panilla 3 f TN Martha Ann 3/12 f TN Federal Census - Marion, Arkansas Blythe Township June 21, 1860 379,1 William Watkins 47 m Farmer 385 AR Matilda 47 f TN Nancy F 23 f TN Sarah 19 f TN Parasada 17 f TN Parrilla 15 f TN Matilda 8 f TN Thank you for any help, Teresa Konoski WATKINS-WADKINS-MASON-RIPPEE
