Some of this fits- My grandmother Maggie Jane Wray Neves parents were (father) Thomas Jefferson Wray b 1934 in TN d 10/16/1921 in Dekalb, TX (mother) Sarah Permelia Carr b 12/11/1858 in Livingston, TN (Overton Co.) Sarahs parents were William ? Carr b2/16/1829 in Overton Co, TN d 9/9/1868 (What is middle initial?) and Eliza Jane Copeland b 11/13/1832 in TN d 3/12/1911 Williams parents were (my g-g-g-parents) Thomas Carr and Rebecca???? no more info Eliza parents were Richard Copeland and Margaret Jane ???? no more info Billy Carr- Thanks for your input. My grandmother raised me and the name Tipton rings a bell - she spoke of it. As a child (10 -12) years old, she rode from TN side saddle to OK Territory. They migrated to East TX and her sister Mattie Wray married a Copeland and another Copeland brother moved to Arkansas during the dust bowl of TX. My grandmother, Maggie Jane Wray, applied for an old age pension and had to have someone from the TN hills sign a statement saying they remembered her birth. AnoTher dead end is they say so many records have been destroyed by the civil war. Please keep in touch. Patsy

There were Tiptons in Fentress County long ago. Still are. I think I remember some of them being Revolutionary soldiers who got grants in this area. A lot of Tiptons lived in the Buffalo Cove area of West Fentress County. Was that the William Carr who is buried on L. G. Puckett's farm near the City Lake in Livingston. Carr Creek is named for him I believe. Gary D.
