    2. `All of you', Elizabeth Jane HARRISON [c1797 Caswell-NC-1850>Montgomery-TN] was the 2/w/o Samuel Dabney MD (II) [no dates but practiced medicine in Montgomery-TN] s/o Samuel Dabney (I) [no dates but `of' Louisa-VA] & Jane Merriwether [8 Apr 1757VA-????]. They had 13 children, another one of which was: John T Dabney MD [Louisa-VA-1833 Oldham-KY and also practiced medicine in Montgomery-TN] m Eliza Ann Blount [c1805-1833>] d/o Gov Willie. Samuel & Jane (Merriwether) Dabney also had a daughter named Mildred Dabney [no dates] m Reuben Lewis [1777-????] who had a brother named Merriwether Lewis [1774-1809 murdered himself in a drunken fit at Grinder's Stand]. Samuel Dabney MD (II) [no dates] 1/w was Mildred Hopson/Hobson [no dates] and she had a mother Elizabeth (Unknown) Hopson [????-1817><1820 Montgomery-TN] who left 5 or 6 slaves to each of 6 grandchildren {big bucks}. 1..Who were Jane Merriwether's parents? 2..How does she join up with the other Merriwethers? 3..Over half of these Dabney lines are extinct.........why????? 4..I have only found two daughters for Willie Blount (didn't go into depth cause I got tired of chasing wild geese). 5..Where is Grinder's Stand or Hohenwald, TN? I understand that the graves of Gov Willie, his wife, his daughter and his son-in-law were moved from the Montgomery/Robertson line {maybe called `Bakerdon'} and reburied in Greenwood Cemetery in Clarksville........why???? jerree Sources: Many, many early documents in Montgomery-TN.
