Hi, I've been lurking on this list for a couple weeks. I have a family that I am researching that moved from Halifax Co., VA to Williamson Co., TN after the Rev. war. Robert Carter (s/o John & Mary [Cunningham] Carter) was b. Halifax Co., VA 1770 and died Williamson Co., TN 1839. His wife was Unity Cook (d/o John Cook & Mary? [possibly Blagrave/Blackgrove]) was b. Halifax Co., VA abt 1774 and died in Williamson Co., TN 1809. I know the names of some of their children, but would like a complete list and the names of any/all spouses, if possible. My husband's COOK line is from the second marriage of John Cook (f/o Unity) to Elizabeth Walthall [Cousins... by 1st marriage]. The children of John Cook's 2nd family, for the most part, moved to Green Co., KY. I am willing to exchange information with anyone who may have connections. Thanks in advance for any assistance. Be well & God bless, Kate Beaugrand Cook Minnesota [email protected] or [email protected]

Hello Williamson Co Researchers. I am searching for the family of Moses A. BYERS (Aug 8, 1824 TN to May 12, 1898 Norene, Wilson Co TN) He is my 3rd g-grandfather and brick wall. He was born in TN and there were no BYERS in Wilson Co TN (where he lived most of his life) in 1810, 1820 or 1830, but there were BYERS in nearby Williamson Co in 1810 & 1820, I believe he may have been from the area. I have searched the Putnam Co TN BYERS thoroughly without success, though the patriarch of that clan was named "Moses" (1792 NC) Is anyone on this list researching or familiar with the Williamson Co BYERS? Moses BYERS (1824 TN) married Lucretia PRITCHARD (born Dec 16, 1832, married Moses A BYERS April 10, 1848 in Wilson Co., TN, died >1898). Lucretia was the daughter of Benjamin Prichard (born April 16, 1792 VA, died Aug 3, 1872 Norene, Wilson Co TN) and Mary Ann (Polly) Campbell (born March 10, 1796 KY or TN, died Dec 5, 1869 Norene, Wilson Co TN). Benjamin & Polly married in Wilson County, TN, on July 15, 1816. Mary Ann (Polly) Campbell was the daughter of James Campbell, who was born in 1766 in IRE according to Goodspeed's History of DeKalb Co TN.. The only known child of Moses A BYERS (1824 TN) was Sarah Ann (born May 7,1850, died Nov 30,1867). She was married about 1866 to Charles L Robertson (born ~1840 Halifax Co VA to Anthony B Robertson & unknown). Sarah Ann died at age 17, a week after giving birth to twin daughters. Moses & Lucretia BYERS raised their twin granddaughters. The twins were Sarah Laura (born Nov 23, 1867, died May 30, 1882) and Martha Flaura (born Nov 23, 1867, died Aug 26, 1896). Martha Flaura married James Henry White (1869 Warren Co TN - 1964 Davidson Co TN). The couple had three children: Valeira ( 5 Sep 1892 Wilson Co TN to Sep 27, 1971 Orlando FL), Freddie (died May 9, 1894 Aged 9 days in Wilson Co TN) and Flaura (Aug 13, 1896 Wilson Co TN - lived adult life in Warren Co TN - died 1981 Hamilton Co TN). Flaura (1896) is my maternal grandmother. Renee
