I don'[t know whether I should get excited or not yet. When I read your post I about jumped out of my chair. Then I got our the information I had just received yesterday. It's possible. I guess we;ll have to do more checking. The information I have is Martha White b. 6/5/1834 TN d. 10/4/1894 Polk CO., TN married to Perry Isaac Womble b. 4/18/1824 Polk CO>, TN d. 2/ 1890 Polk CO., TN. Martha was listed as being the daughter of Elisha White b. 1797 , married to Ersby ? b. 1820. This is the only information I have for Martha. I'll have to check back with the person I got this from and check her source. If it's true, that our lines match, I can take you back from some of their (Martha & Perry's) children to the present. I just pray that it's correct. What area census records did you find your information? I'll get back to you as soon as I hear from my source.
