Posted on: Sumner Co. Tn Queries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tn/Sumner/11951 Surname: ------------------------- I am related to all of the families listed. Richard Stone married Mary [Winn, or Yancy, or ?] about 1730. By about 1750 they were living in Lunenburg Co, VA. Their daughter Phoebe Stone married Minor Wilks about 1752. They lived near the families of Winn, other Stones, Samuel Snead, other Wilks, and Hardy. Minor and Phoebe Wilks had several children including Richard Stone Wilks who married Nancy Ann Snead, daughter of Samuel. Another daughter, Mary, married Isham Hardy. Richard S. and Nancy Ann Wilks moved to Sumner Co., TN about 1810 where two daughters married Winns, and I do not know how the Winns were related. The oldest son of Richard S. and Nancy Ann Wilks was Minor Winn Wilks. Other members of these families moved to Sumner Co, Maury Co., and Giles Co. in TN. Others moved to Barren Co, KY. They all moved back and forth, visited, and intermarried. My Ggrandfather Samuel Wilks got permission to marry from his father Minor W. Wilks in Sumner Co., TN. One of the witnesses to the document was Martha Snead Bohannon who lived in Barren Co, KY. Sam married Elizabeth Hardy, the grand daughter of Isham Hardy and Mary Snead. They married in Barren Co., KY. Details of these families are long and would need to be mailed. Some details are given at http://www.my-ged.com/jimwilks. About 5000 related people are listed there.
