Surnames: Grizzle/Cotton/Hardbarger Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/2hB.2ACI/134 Message Board Post: I am looking for anyone that may have knowledge of a connection between William GRIZZLE b abt 1829 TN, his wife Elizabeth COTTON b. abt 1931 AL and the Hardbarger Families of Civil War Years TN. The 1870 Census, Decatur, Meigs Co, TN Lists: Elizabeth GRISSELL, her sons George age 16 and Harrison age 12 included in the household are: Sarah HARDBARGER b 1851 TN, and her 2 year old son, William H.b 1868 TN. As this is Post Civil War Era and Elizabeth is later reported as a widow, I am thinking Sarah (may be Grizzle) and Elizabeth may be sisters in law trying to survive. William and Elizabeth GRIZZLE were in Chattanooga for the 1860 census. Sometime during the war years Elizabeth moves to Meigs Co. When Liz migrates to Dallas TX by the 1880 census, there also appears a young William Grizzle, the same age as this Wm Hardbarger. Coincidence....Maybe...... I am having lots of trouuble trying to locate any records on these folks. Does anyone have any ideas how I can attack this ??????? THANK-YOU in advance for taking the time to read this and any help you may lend my way.
