First of all I would like to thank the person who started this list. I have waited a long time for this list to start. Does anyone have the 1860 or l870 census for this family or know the maiden name of Elizabeth ? or any more information about her. She was still alive in l880 and living with a daughter Nancy who had married ? Thacker. Am also trying to find my Francis Marion Ledbetter on l860 census. Would like to hear from anyone researching VINSONS of this area. Mind mainly lived in Tishomingo Co,Ms but were always coming into TN as lived right on the border. Thanks!!

Hi, It's so nice to have a McNairy Co., TN list! I am researching the Wisdom surname. My ancestor, Francis Wisdom, was living in McNairy Co., TN in 1830. Census shows: Francis Wisdom - District 78 To 5 - 1 male 5/10 - 1 male, 1 female 10/15 - 2 males 15/20 - 1 male, 1 female 20/30 1 female 40/50 - 1 female 50/60 - 1 male Francis Wisdom was married in Cumberland Co., KY to Nancy Hogg in 1803. They moved from TN about 1835 to MO. Their children were: Francis Marion, Andrew Jackson, George W., Henry Harrison, Sargent Newton,and others. I believe they had daughters named Drusilla, Mary, and possibly Nancy. Any help on this family would be great! Thanks, Sharon
