I believe that your James Curry III was a brother to my paternal GGG Grandmother Rebecca Curry m. William L. Liles. Their father was James Curry Jr. of Maury Co. and earlier of Pittsylvania Co. Va. Their mother, Margaret (Peggy) was also a Garner. Other Garners from the same Virginia line of Garners married children of William L. and Rebecca Curry Liles. Both the Curry's and the Liles lived just northeast of Hampshire in Maury County. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2003 8:39 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [TNMAURY-L] Carrigan, Darnell, Lipscomb - Maury Co TN 1849 My gt gt maternal grandmother was Martha Francis Carrigan (8 May 1849 Maury Co TN - 5 Apr 1889 Evant TX) She married George Henry Curry on 10 Jan 1869 in Maury Co TN. His parents were James Curry III and Elizabeth Runnels Garner. Family 'stories' say that the Darnells and Lipscomb were related to Martha Francis Carrigan. While researching my Curry/Garner line, I received a Letter from Monte Hugh Knight, dtd 23 Sep 1995 to M. Tanner. NOTE: The Carrigan/Darnell - Lipscomb aspect is of another section of the (Maury) County; that of, the extreme opposite side (in location)...mideastern to south-eastern Maury, in close proximity to the Maury/Bedford [later Marshall] Counties line. The Carrigan line was allied with my Griffin line of the old 21st & 24th Civil Districts area - north of Duck River. Darnell & Lipscomb <French Huguenot: Les Comb> have to do with the area of Maury Co, which, was taken (1836) to form the new County of Marshall-which, then, separated Maury, from Bedford (TN). Looking for connection with the Curry/Carrigan marriage. ==== TNMAURY Mailing List ==== SOUTHERN HERITAGE NEWS AND VIEWS is dedicated to the preservation of Southern Heritage and to defend the honor of our Confederate ancestors.
