She married Stephen B. Gullett born Sep 17, 1853 in Illinois. They settled in Obion County, TN and all their children were born there.

Searching for information regarding Elisha VINZANT b. Unknown in Tennessee (county unknown) and d. 1844 in Newton County, Missouri. He married Ellender LEE, b June 24, 1810 in Tennessee (county unknown); d February 17, 1884 in Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana. They had the following children: David Marion Vinzant, b. 1837, Tennessee (county unknown); m. Sarah Matilda MAY, December 27, 1860, Monroe County, Indiana; d. March 21, 1892, Pickering, Nodaway County, Missouri. Ellen Vinzant, b. Tennessee (?) no other information. It is said that she married an unknown BROWN. William Everment Vinzant, b. June 17, 1844, Neosho, Newton County, Missouri; m. Rebecca East, February 17, 1867 in Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana; d. October 19, 1935, Decatur, Macon County, Illinois. In 1900 census, David shows father being born in Tennessee. Brother indicates father born in France. Could this be because France claimed a section of Tennessee when Elisha was born? So many questions and unfortunately, so few answers. Elisha and Ellender are very evasive. I have been searching 30 plus years and have found nothing. Any help is appreciated!

He was the son of James W. Lockert of Montgomery Co, TN. James was brother of one of my maternal great-grand-mothers. I lived in South Fulton (and across the stateline in Fulton, KY)in my early years (1932-43), where my father worked for the Illinois Central. Both are fine little towns; I last visited them in Sept 2001. Again, thanks for your reply.

He was married to Grace Board. They had 2 children, Robert and Anna Bess. Robert died at a fairly early age, in his twenties I think, in a cave-in in a gravel quarry where he was working. Anna Bess married Lee Hoyte Hicks and lived across the street from her parents and next door to me until I moved away when I grew up. She died a few years ago. They had three children. One son lives in Obion Co., but the 2 daughters moved away many years ago. Their daughter, Donna has always been my best friend. We still keep in touch regularly and were talking about the Scotts at McConnell not long ago, but neither of us could remember too much about them. I didn't realize exactly how they were related to her family. I now live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I've been here for 22 years. Although, Starling Thornton Jones is probably not my Tecumseh, even if Tecumseh was just! a nickname, I wonder if they're not connected somehow. If I ever find a connection to my Joneses, I'll let you know. Good luck with your research. It's been good corresponding with you. Brenda

I remember seeing, many years after their deaths, the house where they lived. There was some sort of mystery or family legend about their deaths. I have a very good childhood friend whose grandfather was Ben Morris. They were connected to these Scotts mentioned above at McConnell. My aunt, Estelle Jordan, lived at McConnell when I was a child so I spent many Sundays visiting there. I've lived in Canada for many years, but grew up in Weakley Co. (Martin, TN). Yes, it certainly is a small world. I feel pretty sure that there's a connection to your Starling. I don't know who the Mary Waldon, Ben G. and Amanda Jones were either. I'll let you know if I come across any new evidence. Thanks very much. Brenda
