This is what I found on the family in the Obion co history books. This was all under the Wilson family. It looks like any direct descendants would be descendants of Nathaniel Younger Murphey, b. August 03, 1887, died May 06, 1945. Maybe someone could check his obit and/or that of his wife, Walter Susan Wilson, died October 17, 1955 in Obion co., TN.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Ellis, Forrest, Priest Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/TgB.2ACE/1483.1 Message Board Post: Hi, I pray that whoever posted this query or someone related to the surnames is out there. I grew up in NE AR in Clay County. My great Grandfather is Wiley Ellis and he had a sister by the name of Nancy A. Ellis. Both were born in TN, but moved to AR with their Dad, Nathan G. Ellis after their mother passed away (Emily Priscilla Ellis). Nancy married Levi A. Forrest (I found them in the 1900 Clay County, AR census for Pollard Township) and had 2 children, Maude, born March 1897 and Arvel, born Dec. 1898. Levi Forrest's mother's name was Martha J. born June 1830 in ILL. We have lost track of this family. We do know that Maude married a Priest and I think it was Charlie Priest and we do know that they settled down in Obion County, TN and an Uncle to Nancy Ellis Forrest said that she was in Union City at least in the 1920's or 1930's. Can this Gaynell Grooms be the granddaughter to my great great Aunt Nancy A. Ellis Forrest? Please reply to this post or email me direct! . We are anixous to make a connection to this family.

The book is taken from articles which were in our local paper years ago. These articles from the paper were submitted by Alfred M. Franko,PHD, who did an extensive research of the Night Rider era. The local paper gave us permission to put these writings in book form. The book has about 90 pages with a few pictures. The price of the book is $20.00 + $1.50 S/H.
