My problem is this: Isaac and Mary McPherson's family were part of those McPhersons who came down from Giles Co., VA, in the late 1700s and settled in and around the Knox/Roane Co., TN, area. I have been unable to determine anything about them between their arrival from VA and when they showed up in De Kalb Co., AL, in the 1830s-40s. I would like to determine where they were (probably in E. TN?) and where and when their children were married. Also, Isaac and Mary may have been in Bledsoe Co., TN, in the mid 1830s. Isaac (b. VA, c. 1767 or 1778) and Mary (VA, c. 1780) McPherson's children were as follows: (1) Cely McPherson (b. c. 1795), m. Bennett Norman son of Isaac Norman. In 1835 Isaac Norman lived on Bull Run Creek in Anderson Co., TN. I believe that Cely and Bennett were living in McMinn Co., TN, in 1830-1840. (2) Isaac McPherson, Jr. (b. c. 1796), m. 1st. c. 1821 to Elizabeth Kennedy possibly in Washington Co., TN. (3) Enos Marion McPherson (b. c. 1801.Giles Co., VA), m. Mahala Jane Daughtery. Enos was a Methodist Preacher and in 1830 he was in White Co., TN. In 1840 he was in Bledsoe Co., TN, and in 1850 he was in De Kalb Co., AL. He later moved to AR. (4) Lewis A. (?) McPherson (b. 1800-1810, VA?), m. c. 1818-20 to Rachel ? Lewis was in AL by 1840. (5) George Washington McPherson (b. 1807-10), m. c. 1831 to Mary Kitchens(?). Some children were b. in TN. This family was in AL by 1840. (6) Jane ("Jenny") McPherson (b. c. 1813, TN), m. c. 1845 to William F. Willis (7) Mary E. (or F.?) McPherson ( b. 1814-15), m. c. 1831 to James Taylor. They may have been in McMinn Co., TN, in 1830 but was in AL in 1840. They were in Pontotoc, MS in 1850. (8) Joseph McPherson (b. c. 1822, TN), m. c. 1843, Prob. De Kalb Co., AL, to Martha Amanda Scott (9) William McPherson (b. 1800-10, TN), m. ? I believe that in 1836 and 1840 he was living in Marion Co., TN. I'll appreciate hearing from anyone who can possibly help me with this problem. Paul Paul R. White WhitePaul@aol.com Ph (256)536-0693 1408 East Olive Drive SE Huntsville, AL 35801
