Posted on: Obion Co. Tn Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tn/Obion/1471 Surname: Mansfield, Carr, Sanders, Sullivan ------------------------- Seeking relatives of John and Nancy (CARR) MANSFIELD and Thomas and Anne (SANDERS) Carr. Tons of legal papers (deeds, wills, guardianships, etc.) link these families. John (b. VA) left Albemarle Co., VA for Wilson Co., TN circa 1807/09. Apparently, he’s the John – incorrectly listed on the IGI as "Morfield" – who married Nancy, daughter of Thomas and Anne Carr (who also moved to WCT). Anne’s ancestry is perplexing, but Tom’s obit (“Central Gazette,” Charlottesville, VA; 6 July 1821) indicates he’s the son of Gideon Carr, Sr.; indeed, he’s mentioned in Gideon’s will. Tom was a sergeant in the Revolution, 9th Virginia Regiment (under Col. David Morgan). John fathered Grasty, Granville, Giley, Nancy, and ostensibly Garnett, my 3rd great-grandfather. All but Giley married in WCT; Granville remained there. Garnett and Lydia (SULLIVAN) Mansfield moved to LINCOLN Co. Grasty and Nancy (married Elias Edwards) ended up in WEAKLEY and OBION counties. BTW, what became of Giley?
