Barbara, Jennie/Janie is *not* a child of Moses & Susannah RUNNELS/REYNOLDS --- However, as you can see below, one of their daughters *did* marry a Joseph SEWELL in Pulaski Co., KY, in 1810, so its very likely she was related to this family. This Joseph SEWELL shows up in Franklin Co. with this RUNNELS family from abt. 1819 to 1830. There were other REYNOLDS/RUNNELS in Pulaski Co., KY, and in Lincoln Co., KY, from abt. 1800, and I understand the SEWELL's more or less took the same path as the RUNNELS/REYNOLDS. (Somewhere on-line, someone has a SEWELL family home page --- I'm sorry, but I can't find the URL --- perhaps if you searched the Rootsweb archives (KY and TN) you might find it. ) There were also several other REYNOLDS/RUNNELS in Franklin Co., TN, at the same time Moses was there. (If you do a search through the Rootsweb archives for the TNFRANKL mailing list for Deeds and Runnels, Deeds and Reynolds, Deeds and Sewell, and then just for Sewell, for Runnels, Reynolds (and every possible spelling variation), you might come up with something that will help you. I'd be very interested in what you come up with for possible parents for your Jennie/Janie as her father may be a brother of Moses --- every lead will help, as we don't have parents for Moses yet, nor do we know his wife's (Susannah) maiden name. Since it appears so many events in these families took place in Pulaski Co., KY, I just wish there was a mailing list for Pulaski Co. (and more records uploaded)! Our Betsy (Elizabeth) Reynolds/Runnels was b. ca. 1800, dau. of Moses Reynolds/Runnels and wife Susannah (maiden name unknown). It appears Moses came from Patrick/Henry Counties, VA, to Washington /Carter Counties, TN, in the early 1790's, then to Franklin Co., TN for a short while before moving to Pulaski Co., KY, then back to Franklin Co., TN, ca. 1819. Many of these families were members of the Boiling Forks Baptist Church. Moses died in Franklin Co., TN, in 1827. His will lists his wife and children: Wife: Susannah d. 1859 McNairy Co. Sons: William (co-executor of Moses' will with Joseph Sewell) Henry m. Margaret/Peggy Smith, 21 Feb. 1817, Pulaski Co., KY -- in Franklin Co. 1819-1830, moved to AR, then to TX, was murdered 1844/5! Elisha Daughters: Sarah/Sally m. Joseph Sewell, 12 Dec. 1810, Pulaski Co., KY Susannah m. John Hopper, 12 December 1810, Pulaski Co., KY Keziah m. Reuben McKinzie, 1811, Pulaski Co., KY Rebecca m. Thomas Williams, 1818, Pulaski Co., KY Polly/Mary m. Pumphrey Malone (before 1827, Franklin Co., TN?) Betsey/Elizabeth m. John Preston ca. 1821 (Franklin Co., TN?) Nancy (m. Archibald Myrick aft. 1827) Lavina (m. Nathan Thomas aft. 1827) Ann (m. Sam'l. P. Burk after 1827) Very interested in hearing from anyone else working these lines, as well.
