Hi Everyone, I am working on Kennedy's, and all variations of spelling. Right now trying to prove William H. Kennedy and Olly Bassett Green parents of Alver E. Kennedy. William and Olly married Jan. 2, 1873, in Williamson Co. Also looking for any info on an Ada B. Caldwell, b. abt 1880, d. March 7, 1909 in Williamson Co. She married Carroll Green Sullivan, Dec. 28, 1899. The 1900 Census has her living with her husband in his parents home. She is the last person on the page, and because of damage to the page info is illegible. She had a very short life, dying at age 29, in childbirth. She supposedly grew up in an orphanage. But do not know where or why. Any info appreciated. Thanks. Chris ckrell@glccomputers.com

Hi Tom, In a message dated 98-02-03 14:36:35 EST, you write: << I believe this entry may have appeared in Vol. 2, on p. 23 of Joyce Martin Murray's "Williamson County, Tennessee Deed Abstracts, 1799-1811." The text lies at the bottom of the page and reads, "p.p. 195-197. George Robertson, Julius Robertson, Wm. Robertson & Charles Robertson, dec'd, of one part to Frederick Hargett & Scott Gray, heir of William Randoll...." >> The entry you posted does not appear on p. 23 and pps 195-197 consists of the index to the book. I did check the index and several of the names you mentioned are not listed together in one entry . The source checked is Williamson County, Tennessee Deed Abstracts 1799-1811, Volume A, No. I, Volume A-2 and Volume B, abstracted by Joyce Martin Murray. Good luck with your search! Darlene Anderson
Hi, An acquaintance sent me photocopies of pages from a deed abstract book that someone sent her, and, unfortunately, the name of the book has been lost by everyone involved. I believe this entry may have appeared in Vol. 2, on p. 23 of Joyce Martin Murray's "Williamson County, Tennessee Deed Abstracts, 1799-1811." The text lies at the bottom of the page and reads, "p.p. 195-197. George Robertson, Julius Robertson, Wm. Robertson & Charles Robertson, dec'd, of one part to Frederick Hargett & Scott Gray, heir of William Randoll...." This entry is extremely important to my research. Could someone please check this reference for me as I have no access to the book in question and tell me wheter it did, in fact, come from this book? I hope to locate the primary source and obtain a copy of the deed. Thanks in advance. Tom Robertson
