If you are following the Tankersley line I have Mary Jane Tankersley's ancestors on our web page - address below. belinda melton hughes http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Acres/7241/index.html > Am looking for any information on the Donnell family in Marshall Co. prior to > 1850's. Am wondering if there was one or two that wandered in from NC, then > passed away, prompting the children to leave. Presently I know that; > John R. Donnell b. Tn. 1819 married Manervia WILLIAMS in Marshall county, > 1851. > James A. Donnell ( gr-gr-gr grandfather, b. Tn. 1829) married Mary Jane > TANKERSLEY in Marshall County, 1850. > Martha Donnell married John H. MORRIS in the 1850's. > These families were all then accounted in the same KY county in the 1860 > census, along with a Washington Donnell, then turned up again out in Western > Tennessee together. > Presently, I cannot find the males (with correct ages) accounted anywhere in > the 1850 Tn. census, except for Washington Donnell, who was already up in KY. > Several references in Marshall Co. minutes (1840-42) mention the minors of > William Donnell, and a 'Martha C' is mentioned, as well as Samuel and David > Donnell as wards. > Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. > Cherilyn Trusty -- BJ's Genealogy Site http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Acres/7241/index.html Child Support Central http://www.geocities.com/Wellesley/Garden/2342/
