Helen, Thanks so much for taking the time to post these records! Are you by chance researching the Smith or Burgess families of Marion Co., TN? I am a descendant of William Burgess b. 1760-1766 who is first found in Rutherford Co., NC, where he appears in the 1790 and 1800 Census. Between 1805-1808 he leaves NC and moves to TN, eventually settling in Marion Co., TN. I'm trying to find the connection between the Burgess and Smith families. William and Nimrod Smith are living near William Burgess in the 1800 Rutherford Co., NC Census and most likely made the move to TN with him. In 1830, William Smith is living next door to William Burgess in Marion Co., while Nimrod Smith is living next to William Burgess' son James Burgess in nearby Bledsoe Co. The fact that James Burgess named one of his sons Nimrod makes me believe that his wife Nancy may be a Smith. James' brother John Burgess married a Sarah Smith and they appear in the 1830 Census for nearby Hamilton Co., TN next to a James Smith with several other Smith families living nearby. John's son John Burgess, Jr., married a Rachel Smith. Do any of these families sound familiar?
