My ggg grandfather was William JONES, b. c1790. I believe he was born in VA, though some census shows TN, and he came to Weakley Co. from Wilson Co., TN by 1827. I posted the first generations of my JONES family online a week or so ago so it should still be in the TNWeakle Archives online. If you'd like, check it out, and if you see any connections, just let me know. I'm not a FIELDS researcher and only have Seth Thomas "Buster" FIELDS, son of Thomas Jefferson FIELDS. Seth married Essie Arizona "Zona" MOSS, a descendant in my VOWELL line. There are others on the list who know MUCH more about the FIELDS line. Maybe they'll respond to your message.

Rhonda-- It's very possible that there will turn out to be a connection-- Like I said my gr-gr-gr-gr-gr-grparents were buried in Logan Co., Ky., They were named Matthew and Mary (Dick) McFarland and they came directly from Scotland by way of N.C. But they had 10 children and some of the family lived in Simpson Co. and I'm sure branched off into other Kentucky counties and probably Tennessee counties, as well. I know my father's direct line moved from the Logan-Simpson county area to Okla. and then onto Texas. Along the way, the spelling of our last name changed from McFarland to McFarlin But I keep telling Mom that I wouldn't be surprised if we end up being related to the McFarlands that are right here in the Henry-Weakley Co. area.

Rhonda.... Thanks for your response and information. As I just started searching for McFarlin/McFarland yesterday when I found the marriage info in Dyer Co for J.H.

This is everything I have on McFarlin/McFarland at this time. Sorry I couldn't be more help. :-( Jewel ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Shannon, Jewel, and any others inerested in the McFarlin/McFarland Surname: I too am interested in the McFarlin/McFarland sir name. One of my G-G-G-Grandmothers was Martha McFarland believed by myself to be the daughter of Levin and Elizabeth Unknown McFarland. Levin & Elizabeth are only found in one census record that I can find and that being the 1860 Weakley Co., TN. Their daughter, Martha, is listed in the household with them, listed as a McFarland, rather than her married name and with two children, Elizabeth & John Henry, also listed as "McFarland", but last name should have been Guy/Guhy. Martha was apparantly widowed @ that time and had moved back in with her parents. She was also pregnant or had just given birth @ that time to her daughter, Emma. In September of that year, Martha McFarland Guy married R. A. Guthrie in Weakley Co. After R. A. Guthrie died abt. 1870, Martha and her children (6 of them total--three by my G-G-G Grandfather and three by R. A. Guthrie) moved to the Graves Co./Hickman Co., KY area. Martha is buried @ Beulah Baptist Church Cemetery; Beulah, Hickman Co., KY. In 1860, Levin & Elizabeth McFarland are listed with 4 children, Martha (as already mentioned), John, Emily, & George McFarland. Martha was born November 28, 1838 & died July 31, 1917. John was born abt 1842, Emily abt 1845 and George abt 1848. It is interesting Shannon that you mention your GGG??? Grandfather being from/buried in Logan Co. as the family that Martha's son married into was also from Logan Co. and R. A. Guthrie that Martha married 2nd moved to Weakley Co., TN from Simpson Co.--right next door to Logan Co. If any of these names ring a bell, please let me know. Sincerely, Rhonda ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Hello Brenda, Thanks for your reply. Yes I would like to have any information you might have in connection with the Brooks, Gibbs, Fields, Blakes, all of whom lived in Dist 3 or 14....especially on the line of Seth T. "Buster" Fields. I have Seth and Essie Arizona married 22 Oct, 1901. Seth was son of Thomas Jefferson Fields and Martha Ann Kennedy from on the other side of the county. Seth's great-uncle was John Fields Jr. who lived in Dist 3. There is a small Fields Cemetery just north of Mt. Pelia Road in Dist 3. I will be glad to share also on any families you may be working on. Just let me know if I can help.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: BrendaGart Surnames: ELKINS Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.tennessee.counties.weakley/2222.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: If I read your message correctly, it says the obituary shows "He died at his home in Weakley Co., TN, 3 miles from Humboldt, Gibson Co., TN. I've been away from that area for a long time, but, as I recall, Humboldt in Gibson Co., TN was much farther than 3 miles from even the border of Weakley Co. I wonder if there was a mistake in the obituary. According to MapQuest online, the distance from Greenfield, Weakley Co., TN, for instance, to Humboldt, Gibson Co., TN is 26.78 miles. I was just thinking that perhaps there might be Gibson Co. newspapers where Mr. ELKINS' obituary might have been published.

Some of you may already know this but today I stumbled upon the BYU digital archives. The University claims to have already digitalized 5000 publications and adds approximately 100 more per week: I found very interesting collections including published family genealogies, biographies, state almanacs and histories, newspapers, and other books. Might be worth checking it out _http://www.lib.byu.edu/online.html_ (http://www.lib.byu.edu/online.html) ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

David, You mentioned that you'd be interested in knowing more about the Jones family in Dist. 3. I'll be happy to e-mail you the Jones info that I have. It's still, definitely, a work in progress. I also have some Fields connections --Essie Arizona Moss married Seth Thomas "Buster" Fields c1902?? in Weakley Co. Zona was the daughter of John W. Moss and Mariah Parilee Vowell. Mariah was the daughter of my gg grandparents, John Louis Vowell and Melvina Dunseath Duke. Just let me know if you'd like to have the Jones info. I posted a few generations to the mailing list about a week ago but didn't include notes (census, etc.).
