Good morning members: Dona (Caldonia) Whitaker born in McNairy Co in Dec 1871, she married on 9 Dec 1888 in county to J.L. GRIFFIN. In McNairy Co. 1900 she is listed as a widow and has son Dee GRIFFIN born in Dec 1894. Donie and Dee are in the household of Creasy CHAMBERS in the 9th district. I have not been able to locate Donie or Dee after the 1900 census. Can someone identify this J.L. GRIFFIN and maybe have info on Donia or Dee??? Thanks Pat pwjones@centuryinter.net

Hi, I just joined this list. I'm researching the Kinchen family. Laney Kinchen was born in McNairy Co., TN abt 1854. He married Emily Frances Hughes 7-18-1872. They had four children Dinah Lela, Solomon, Sarah, and John. Dinah Lela, b. 8-23-1878 in McNairy Co., was my husband's grandmother, and she told us they came to AR when she was just a little girl. We believe Laney's father and mother were Joseph Kinchen and Martha ____? Laney put up a $1250 marriage bond for Emily. I have their marriage license. Would sure appreciate any infromation about Laney and/or Emily. Thanks, Myra Chambers

Barb, I do not know who Velma SCOTT married. John

Hi, I am researching Franklin P. SCOTT (1849-1921) who was living in McNairy Co after 1890. His daughter Dora J. SCOTT (1879-?) married George F. RICH (1884-?). His son Lonzo "Lonnie" C. SCOTT (1881-1935) married Johnnie B. GLADISH (1882-1969) and they had several children: Elzora SCOTT (1905-?) Troy SCOTT (1909-1979) E. Garry SCOTT (1916-1968) Velma "Jewel" SCOTT (1918-?) I am looking for anyone researching these names or are related. Franklin P. SCOTT was married to Sarah Elvisa CADY/CODY and lived in Wayne County. They were in McNairy County after 1890 and died there. They are buried at Mt. Vinson Cemetery. I am also looking for other SCOTTs that may have migrated to McNairy Co and are buried there. I have access to "Cemetery Inscriptions, McNairy County Tennessee Vol I - West" but this does not cover the area I know my family resided in; namely Adamsville and surrounding communities. Any help would be appreciated. John Harrison SCOTT III Researching the following Surnames: BERRY, BRATCHER, BRYANT, COPELAND, GABRIEL, HOLLIS, HOLT, HORTON, KING, KRIEGISCH/KRIEGISH, LUNA/LOONEY, NEWBORN, NITSCHE, PIGG, REEVES, SCOTT, SIMS, UHL, WHITE, YOUNGBLOOD and many, many more.

William (Willie) Thomas SHEARON married Maggie Olla DRISCOE (possibly spelled Driscoll) 16 April 1911 in Guys (McNairy County), TN. An article appearing in the McNairy County Independent (newspaper) 8 Sept. 1911 stated that "Will Shearon and family have moved near Guys and will farm with his brother-in-law, J. F. BROWNING". William Thomas was married previously to a lady named, Julia (maiden name unknown). He had at least one child by this former marriage, a son named Frederick. If anyone has information on any of the people in this query, I will be happy to exchange data. Roseanne Cain

I am seeking any info on the following Harris family members. In the 1860 Census they are listed as living in the Monterey district (9) of McNairy County. The names listed are: H.W.

Martha 7 Nancy P. 4 Susan E. 1 Rebecca Blay age 65 (she is listed as being born in VA) The marriage records (all marriages took place in McNairy County)I have found are: Martha A. Harris married Samuel Comer September 3, 1882 S.E. Harris married Robert Blasingame December 24, 1883 N.P. Harris married R. D. Utley September 2, 1883 Everyone seems to disappear from McNairy County around the turn of the century.

McNairy Researchers, By 1822 Charles Cagle was living in that part of Hardin Co., Tn that was to become McNairy Co. in 1823. He was appointed by the Hardin Co. Court to lay out and mark the best road from Browns Ferry on the Tennessee River to Able Oxfords residence. In 1837, Charles bought 87 acres of land in McNairy from Daniel W. Martindale for $800 and sold the same property the following year to Archibald C. Houston for $1000. Does anyone know any of these people or where this property was located? What happened to Charles Cagle? David

Am excited about the new McNairy County list. Hope to find a lot of information. Looking for Daniel Walker b. abt. 1841, Eliza Tillman b. 1855 married in McNairy County in 1871. Daniel was son of Thomas Walker and Lovie McFall, Eliza daughter of John Tillman and Nancy (possibly Fields). Mary McGuire - mmcguire@cavemen.net Carlsbad, NM

If he is, I haven't placed him yet. What do you know about him? The ones I was referring to were mainly the descendants of Hiram Calvin Vinson who was born l822 and was married to MARTHA ANNA KENDALL. His father was Jesse Vinson and there were many children who came to this area also. I have some of the children's names--but here it is rather sketchy!!
