Tn Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tn/Obion/1363 Surname: Ralls, Conner, Rolls ------------------------- Here is the information that I have on Isham Conner. Isham Conner appears to have relocated during the same periods as my Willis Ralls. I would like to determine if a connection between the two families exist. Isham Conner [Jr.] was listed seven households down from Larkin Rolls on the 1810 Hopkins County, Kentucky census. Isham, Sr. and his son Jacob Conner were also listed on the 1810 Hopkins County census. The following is the family that was located on the Conner family GenForum.

Anne Shepherd ---Patsy Nally, b. 1794 - 1800, m. 18 August 1814, David Robards Isham Conner, Sr. can be found on the 1790 and 1800 Chester County, South Carolina census Isham, Jr. and Jacob Conner were listed on the 1820 Hopkins County census. Isham, Jr. moved from Hopkins County to Obion County, Tennessee. He is listed on as an early settler in Obion County, Tennessee: "Elisha PARKER, recorded as the first settler in Obion County, arrived in early 1819. He ran unsuccessfully as the first sheriff. Other Northeast settlers: Benjamin TOTTEN, who put up the first store and kept the postoffice at Totten's Wells. Others included Jethro L. BYRD, John HARPOLE, Thomas SAYLES, Reuben JACKSON and Isham CONNER. Wyatt BETTIS erected the first "horse mill' to grind Indian corn in this area which became District One." He is found in Obion County Court records on 17 January 1825. On 06 September 1839, 01 July 1842 and 24 February 1845, Anna Conner has 81 acres land located in Weakley County, Tennessee [this land was located on the border between Obion and Weakley County], surveyed and entered. This was an original land entry for William B. Ralls, son of Willis Ralls. Witnesses to the transactions were Isham Conner, John Conner, George Doherty and John Zimmerman.

I'm researching James McCoy born 10 March 1815 in Obion County -- it wasn't Obion County until 1823 (I think) so I've never been sure WHERE I should be searching. Can anyone give me a hint?? Thanks. James had a brother John born 1816, John married Catherine Billman. A sister Phoebe was born 1818 and she married Isaac Shay; another sister Mary Ann born 24 July 1819 married Hiram Milburn; sister Ruthy Ann born 1821 married Eli T. Messinger; a brother Wilson Griffin born 1826; brother Jonathan born 1828 who married Mary Ann Griffin. All were born in Tennessee but moved to Tazewell County, Illinois before 1840. Does anyone recognize any of these folks? I would surely like to know who James' parents were.
