Kintchen married Martha Ann JENNINGS. Their children were: Rebecca, Robert, John, America, Hannah, Margaret, Eliza Tennessee, and Greenberry. You might check to see if any of the daughters married a SULLIVAN, so that you could prove or rule out that Emma SULLIVAN is or is not a granddaughter of Kintchen. I don't have any further info on Kintchen's family. Your John E. SULLIVAN would not be the son of Ahazel SULLIVAN and Clarkey PATTERSON. Their son, John Elijah SULLIVAN, was b. abt. 1842 and d. bet. 1860-1865 while serving in the Civil War. I don't think he married or had children. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Perhaps someday we will find a connection.

I am attempting once again to learn if there are any descendants of my Great Grandfather, Isaac Chatham in Wilson County. He was listed in the 1850 Wilson County Census thus: Chatham, Isaac 40, Susan 17, Benjamin 18, Mary 17, William 16, Nancy 9, James 7. William was my grandfather. Isaac came, we think, from Caswell County, NC. The above listed Susan is a second wife. Isaac was married to a full bloodedCherokee Indian, for which family legend has it that his father disinherited him. We do not know when he moved to Wilson County, or what happened to the Cherokee wife, who presumably is the mother of all the children. wilson county Marriages lists him as being married in 1849 to a Susan Johnson. daughter of Pleasant Johnson, a neighbor to Isaac, and who was also a neighbor in Caswell County. Most likely the first wife died. Isaac later moved to Nashville and was listed in a later Nashville census as living in the same residence as my grandfather, William. We do not know when Isaac died, or where he is buried. I have been in contact with a Ray Chatham in Virginia, who says he is the great grandson of Benjamin, but have not been ale to obtain any information from him. I have a cousin in Ohio who has followed through on the Indian business, and has become the chief of an Indian group, and a member of their senate. If there is a descendent f Isaac, or any of his children living in Wilson County, of if anyone who reads this knows of a Chatham in Wilson County who is a descendant of Isaac, I would like very much to get in touch with them, or would appreciate any information anyone might have concerning a Chatham. If you have any information that may be of help to me, please contact me at this email address. DOYLE CHATHAM

In 1877, Mary Dow married George L. LANE and they are listed in the 1880 Wilson County census along with their first child, Addie. By 1900 census, they had moved to Sumner County, TN. Your Emma SULLIVAN might be the one you found in the 1880 census, but she's definitely not the same person as Mary Emma Dow SULLIVAN who is named in the obituary that I posted. She was my g-grandmother. Is the John E. SULLIVAN whom you mention, the same as John Elijah SULLIVAN b. abt. 1842, son of Ahazel SULLIVAN and Clarkey PATTERSON? If not, do you know who were his parents? Who were the parents of Mary C. G. MARTIN? Thanks.

John E. & Mary C. G. Martin Sullivan's youngest child is Emma, age 3. In the 1880 Tennessee census I can find no household that has the minor children living together. Because John & Mary were married in Wilson County & lived there for some decades, I think this Mary Emma Dow Sullivan may be their daughter Emma, age 3, in the 1870 census. There is an Emma listed in the 1880 Wilson County census, age 12, page 512b, living with Kitchen & Martha Patterson. Am interested in hearing from any descendants of Emma Sullivan.
