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. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -----Original Message----- From: Bert Paredes <bert@paredes.net> To: TNMAURY-L@rootsweb.com <TNMAURY-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Wednesday, December 30, 1998 10:53 PM Subject: [TNMAURY-L] Roll Call: CROSS, SIMS, TATUM, WINN >In Maury County, looking for ANYTHING on: > >Thomas SIMS, son of George SIMS (died in Maury County about 1818) and >Judith CROSS, both originally of Hanover County, VA.
