I am interested in the William Elder born 1748 that is mentioned in this letter. My Elder family lived in Rutherford Co. Tennessee but I do not know when they got there nor where they came from exactly. Could the birth you mentioned have been in Virginia? My Great Great Grandmother Martha Louisa Montgomery married David Elder in Rutherford County around 1825. I have not been able to find a record of that but have found her siblings in the marriage records so she must have been there also unless she and David Elder went into a different county to marry. They soon moved to Illinois. Any one with information out there?

I have quite a puzzle here trying to find out which Isham Reese/Reece may be the right one for my family. It is clear from tax records that the Isham Reese b. 1748 is not the same as the one born in 1732 or 34. The one born in 1732 married Susannah Coleman and died in Georgia. The one born in 1748 lived near William Elder, who married Mary Towler. Mary's sister, Martha Towler married John Reece. These women were both daughter of Benjamin Towler and Martha Darby. Benjamin went from Dinwiddie Co., VA; to Rutherford Co., TN; and then Gibson Co., TN, where he died. Now, I think that this Isham Reece, born in 1748 is probably the father of the John Reece that married Martha Towler. Many people have files that show he and the one born in 1732 to be the same person. Again, tax records prove that there were definitely two Isham Reeses. If anyone can help with this, please advise. This is my brick wall, which I feel we are almost able to crawl over the top of!!! I have proven the Martha Towler and John Reece are my 3g-grandparents. This is why I feel that the Isham, born in 1748 is most likely ours too, but I have yet to prove it. Another problem is the lack of marriage records for Dinwiddie Co. in those years. Oh, another point, John Reece, the elder, married to Martha Towler, and his second wife went on to Rutherford Co., TN. There was an Isham Reece also in Rutherford Co., TN, but he seemed to drop from the face of the earth, before his heirs moved on up to Carroll and Gibson Co., where Benjamin Towler also went. Thanks in advance! Jerry Johnston

I am looking for any available information for Benjamin Reece, born abt 1835, in Rutherford Co., TN. He was there in his 20s, married to a Lucy E.. Benjamin was the son of John Reece and Martha Traylor. John Reece and his second wife, Ann Eliza Traylor Reece, ended up in McKenzie, Carroll Co., TN. This John Reece / Reese's grandfather, Benjamin Trowler, was also in Rutherford Co., TN, but died in Gibson Co., TN. Can anyone help me track down these folks? Thanks! Jerry Johnston Scottsdale, AZ

I am looking for any and all available information about a Benjamin Towler/Fowler; of VA; that died in Rutherford Co., TN. He had a t least one daughter, Martha, that married John Reese, in about 1800. Thanks! Jerry Johnston Scottsdale, AZ

I am looking for any and all information about John Reese and wife Martha (Towler?). John was born in Charles City Co., VA; moved to Dinwiddie Co., VA; then on to Rutherford Co., VA. In Rutherford Co. he married his second wife, Mary Brandon. John and Martha had one son, at least, a John Reece, born 1810 in VA, possibly TN. The elder John Reese/Rees died in Gibson Co., TN in about 1857. Thanks again! Jerry Johnston Scottsdale, AZ

Does anyone know of a John or an Isham/Isom Reese; who were probably brothers, possibly born in Charles City Co., VA; then moved to Rutherford Co., TN? This John died in Gibson Co., TN; in about 1857. I am looking for all available information about these two men. Thanks! Jerry Johnston Scottsdale, AZ

I am trying to find out if anyone on the list might be able to transcribe copies of land records I rec'd back in 91... I just recently ran across them again and remember why I had not done anything with them. I can't make out the handwriting 100%. They were sent to me by a lady named Virginia Squires and the copies were the best she could get. I can either email them to someone or snail mail them if someone is able to read. Some copies were very light and others were pretty good, except I can t read all the words. The time frame would be mid 1850-1860's, and from Wilson County. Thanks for any help. Deborah Magnolia TX
