I am specifically interested in any records you might have for Joseph EPPERSON, who was born about 1795 in TN and died after 1880 in AL. Joseph Epperson married Mary Unknown about 1814. Mary was born about 1793 in TN and died after 1860 in AL. Joseph and Mary had the following children; all are presumed born in TN: > > > > i. Nancy EPPERSON born 1815. > > ii.

It is possible (but not proven) that Joseph lived for a short time in GA before removing to Coosa Co., AL. Two of Joseph's sons were married in Coosa Co., AL in 1843. Joseph was enumerated on the 1850 - 1870 census for Coosa Co., AL, and the 1880 census for Shelby Co., AL. > > > > According to the 1880 Shelby Co., AL census, Joseph Epperson's Father was born in Virginia and his Mother was born in Tennessee. Joseph was a farmer in early census records, although his occupation is most often recorded as a blacksmith. These records also indicate that Joseph could read and write. > > I would appreciate any advice, assistance or information you might lend in identifying the lineage of my ancestors, Joseph and Mary Epperson. > > > > Thank you, > > > > Linda Sharpe MacArthur > > Email: eppersonfamilyresearch@yahoo.com > > > > > > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Tired of spam?
