I do believe the pieces fit! MY John Sammons is YOUR John Sammons! WooHoo! :) I've been looking into this today and all the census records I can find and here's what I know - The Jolly family moved around quite a bit (TN, KY, IL, MO, and TN again) but were definitely in Weakley county in 1880 with the census showing the birth of their youngest two in TN in the same years where Susan C. Jolly married John F. Sammons. John F. and Susan C. are on the Weakley Co. 1880 census and the 1900 Hunt Co. TX with their children. All the children have the same names as the notes my aunt and mother gave me for our Sammons family line. So here goes - John F. Sammons (1854-?) married Susan C. Jolly (1857-?) in Weakley Co. TN in 1874. They had the following children: -Sarah Sammons Walker (1876-?) -George Bryant Sammons (1877-1953) -Olivia Sammons LeFavre (1879-?) -Daisy Sammons Moser (1882-?) -Willie Sammons Jacobs (1886-?) -Mary L. Sammons (1888-1961) -Vera Birdie Sammons (1893-1967) Mary apparently had a child out of wedlock and never married. Birdie never married either. Both Mary and Birdie along with their widowed mother Susan are listed on the 1910 Hunt Co. TX census living with George. I know that George, Mary, and Birdie are all buried in Wolfe City, Hunt Co., TX. Daisy is my great-grandmother. She married Isham B. Moser about 1908 and had four children (Maude, Mildred, Woodrow, and Weldon) before her death somewhere around 1919. We don't know how she died or where she is buried. My grandfather was only about 7 when she passed and when Isham remarried no one ever spoke about her again. We think she died from a disease. Woodrow Wilson Moser 1912-1984)is my grandfather he married Wilma V. Wood (1914-1998) and had four children all in Greenville, Hunt Co, TX - two have passed and two are still living. Whew! This is great! We've been looking for the Sammons family line for ages! We're all jumping up and down we're so excited! What info can you pass along about John's siblings? I'd like to be able to fill in as much on my charts as possible. So far this is the only family (besides the Jollys) that I'm researching in NW Tennessee. Strangely enough, the Moser clan also came from TN in Monroe county in the SE quadrant. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
