PROUD WIFE OF TENNESSEE ARMY NATIONAL GUARD SGT. CURRENTLY ON TRAIN UP FOR DEPLOYMENT FOR KOSOVO. Hi Bev, Harold Howard's parents are Robert Andrew Jackson and Dora Lucinda Branstetter Howard.Dora is the daughter of Albert M. and Margaret F. Hawn Branstetter.Albert is the son of Henry Taylor and Rebecca Green Branstetter.Margaret is the daughter of George Washington and Mary Caroline Potter Hawn. So you got me as to how he is kin to the Aytes in a direct line.It could be through his father.I don't know who Robert's parents were, yet.However, doesn't your Aytes line connect through the Branstetters?This would not make him a direct descendant,it maybe that he had Aytes aunts or uncles,ect. Let me know if you come up with anything. Cathy

Sorry Veronica, that me, jlwgw12@Juno.com - jim wall@fuse.net I was off and never got my computer till late night. And I not a good typist take me for ever. And just got out of church 12:15 and ate and started read and typing. It was I who ask Veronica for help, I appreciate all the time and help she gave. The John Wallace I’m trying find were he mite be buried. . He was in 1850 census, 377 - 1850 Morgan County Tennessee census: John Wallace household family Wallace, John,60 m w farmer $50.00 VA, Wallace, Phoebe 60 f w VA. He was living next to his son Henry Wallace It was said that they were living in Scott Co in 1860 in a book The Robbins Family of Scott Co TN by Robert L Bailey. In the 1860 Scott County Heads of Household. It show David Walis, Joseph Walis, Henry Walis and John Walis, I know David Wallace is John Wallace Jr. I know David has sons name Joseph and John Wallace, I didn’t know he had a son name Henry. I know Joseph and John is old enough to paid tax. I do know Henry wife was out of Morgan Co back in to Anderson but not far away in 1850 census and with out Henry Wallace she living in Robertsville (that at Oak Ridge) in 1870 census and David and his son is in Washington, Vernon, Missouri. I got this through depositions of David brother Alfred civil war pensions. Dose any have the 1860 Scott census that will help me with John Walis = John Wallace and Phoebe Robbins.

I would also like to hear anything available on this subject, either real "evidence" or family stories, due to ancestors/relatives who were "said to be" Native American. You could probably add both "old" & "new" Montgomery (former county seats) & Burrville to the list of places.
