I was curious if the Sammie Cherry mentioned as sister to Minnie, was the same Sammie Cherry who married Leo G. Anderson? Leo was the son of Garland and Mary Eliza McRee Anderson. Leo was born 5 Sept. 1883. Does anyone know of this family? While I am writing, does Obion Co. have any marriage records published? Thanks, Tina

Hello- Re-sifting through old information this morning, and wonder if anyone can help clarify some relationships. Antioch Cemetery-Icy May DONNELL (d. 1908) was married to Vertle Donnell b. 1888-does any one know Vertle's family relationship? I have him listed up in Hickman Cemetery, but don't know his family, parentage. Are other Donnell's in Antioch (Roger Dale Donnell, Delma Carl Donnell) her in-laws? Mary E. Donnell, b.1841, aged 58 in 1900 census Obion Co. is living with 'Savannah Garner, her sister, bn. Tn.' Is this possibly Marion Robinson Donnell, widow of James Donnell (d. 1898)? Any help to confirm or negate these would be appreciated. Cherilyn Trusty

I worked on the Brown line because of the great number of them in Obion Census and history. A reader wants to know if Sarah Ann Brown, Abt: 1838 who m: James H. McRee and the Jabez Brown abt 1834 that m: a Sarah McRee, could the two Browns, be brother and sister? And I honestly don't know --- do you?

Hello Ken, I can't answer your question, but here's an Obion RHOADES for your file: Rebecca A. RHODES (1806-1891), m. Elkanah F. JONES. One of her grandchildren married into my BINGHAM line.
