Can you provide me with more information about Maggie Wilburn Rawding? I have been looking at various postings on the internet for additional clues. And spotted some too! But not enough to fill in some very big gaps. In other words, I have threads but cannot put them together. They just dangle. But I know from my knowledge of other families and lines that they connect in some fashion. For example: 1. Booker Wilburn b 1880 was the father of Cordell Hull Wilburn b 1908 in Smith Co TN. 2. Thomas Wilburn Booker (born c same time) m Naomie Belcher. (Wilburns and Belchers were allied families) 3. George W Booker b 1822 m Maria Philpott (Wilburns and Philpotts were allied families as far back as Middlesex Va c 1727. There was a later Wilburn Philpott of TN. Don't know where he fits it? 4. Jasper Hull of TN b 1858 m Rhoda Ennis. Had eight children. One son was Wilburn Hull b c 1888. I was able to track Jasper Hull and connect this Hull family to families in my database due to the marriage of one of his daughters, (sister of Wilburn Hull) who married a McCaha. And I have the McCaha family that also ties in with a family who also married Wilburns. Now I have no idea how Jasper Hull ties in with Cordell Hull, but feel likely that he does. But as you know, Jasper Hull cannot be the father of Cordell Hull. We know that Cordell Hull's father was William Hull and that William Hull was the son of Allen Hull. It would seem to me that tracking down the ancestors of Jasper Hull, might provide some answers. Dunno??? Any Suggestions???? Thanks Vikky at vikkya@msn.com
