I will hang on to your message in case we do find out anything in future. >You don't happen to have any information on the TATUM family from the Maury >Co., TN area do you? I am seeking information on the wife of William W. >PORTER who was born in 1800 and married Charlotte O. TATUM (the Tatum name >from family history, no proof). I have been trying for years to find some >clue to her background. They appear to have married in TN because several of >their children were born there. By 1850 they were in Marshall Co., MS.
