Welcome to the Yahoo! Message Board for Middle Tennessee Gen Research

I'm researching Williams Barfield in Rutheford
County. He was my gggggrandfather....and also my biggest
brick wall! Williams owned a shipping and tobacco
speculation company that shipped tobacco, etc. between
Jefferson, Tn. and Natchez, Ms. between 1803-1820ish. His
wife and kids left Rutherford around 1820 and went to
Natchez. Williams became an X File at that point.

I am looking for any information on Garrett's or Clarks's.

Researching Barnard, Patterson, Rader, Willis, Bowles, and many more. All from
the middle TN area. I have quite a bit so far, but looking to add to it, or
share with anyone that may be interested.

Welcome to the club Kelann20. I am also
researching the Bowles surname in Middle TN area. My Bowles
line was in the Dekalb Co. TN area. Tracing back,
Frances Bowles born in 1819 married Thomas Adcock in
1838. She was the daughter of John Bowles II & Frances
Bolling who married in Henry Co. VA in 1795. John Bowles
II parents were John Bowles I and Mary Redford who
married in 1768 in Goochland Co. VA/St. James Northam.
Let me know if any of these are connected to your
lines or post or email me some of the names and dates
on your Bowles line and I will check thru my notes
as I have alot of info on siblings of my direct
lines.<br>Hope to make a connection
:)<br>Marieclassof86@...

Hi Marieclassof86. The Bowles line is one I don't
have much on. My gg grandpa was Robert Holland and his
father was Henry Fleming d ABT 1940. My uncle says he
believes his family was from Sumner Co during this time
frame. Anything familiar? Thanks :)

that I am researching....Willis, Patterson,
Rader, Chandler, Piper, Robertson, Paschal, Leath,
Shoulders, Campbell, Blakely, Dowd, McQuade, Brummett,
Bowles, Gammon, Jones, Draper, and Kelley. Any of them
familiar?

Just wanted to let ya'll know that I updated the
Founder's page of Tennessee Links. Basically I added about
10 sites and changed the layout a
bit.<br>Smile!<br>Marieclassof86@...<br><a

Hi, I am also researching Boles Bowles in
Jackson, Clay, and Overton Tn. Hope we can help each other
out.My gggrandfather John Boles found on 1880 Clay Co.
Census with family and wife Ann ? does anyone know Ann's
maiden name? John Boles Bowles was b. approx 1844.
Searching for his parents to. Also researching Turner,
Sells, Stafford, York, Mitchel, Cooper, Beatty's and
Albrights. <br>So glad to have found this club. Any
connections out there? Trish

Most of my research is around Dyer County, TN,
but people move, so I'll give this a shot. I have a
Burl Patterson, several GaNNons (this may be a
variation on Gammon?), and a Buck Kelley. These sound
familiar?

I have quite a list of the Webb surname mainly in Dyer county, TN.  This sound
familiar to anyone?

Noisykitten I have Webb lines in the White Dekalb
& Van Buren Co. TN area..Jane Webb was my gr gr
grandmother. She was born in White Co. TN in 1825. She married
Andrew Mcelroy in White Co in Feb of 1845. They had
seven children. Jane died Dec 10 1867 in Van Buren Co
TN. Not sure of the cause of death. I'm not sure who
Jane's parents were.<br>maybe there is a connection
somewhere.<br>Marieclassof86@...

Trying to find more information on John
McGaughey<br>who lived in Rutherford County, TN and married
Abigail Minerva Alexander of Rutherford County in
1865.<br>One of John's brothers is named William George
McGaughey who married Abigail's Sister, Cora Rowena
Alexander. This John is my great-great grandfather.

Jonathan Ward was born somewhere in TN around
1817. He married Eliza Guthery in Pike Co., OH in 1838.
They had Eliza Jane, Silas and Jonathan(Jr.) Who were
Jonathan's parents and where was he born? Any information
appreciated.

Does anyone have any information on Wright
Harrell, married to Hannah Eades, married about 1851 in
Rutherford Co. The following children: Levi, Henry, Mary,
John,William, Samuel, and Mariah, were listed on the census.
Would like to find any descendants from any of these.
Thanks, Gena

got this info about the McGaughey family after
asking the folks on the Rutherford Co. TN mailing list
<br>Hope this helps<br>Marie<br><br>William McGaughey,
Revolutionary soldier from VA, moved his family from <br>Sevier
Co TN to the Duck River area just after 1800. His
son James Harvey <br>McGaughey had married Margaret
McCain in Blount Co TN before the move. His <br>daughter
Mary McGaughey married Eli McCain in Rutherford Co TN
after the <br>move. Eli, James Harvey & others of both
families moved about 1829 to <br>Lawrence Co AL.<br><br>I
have no idea if any of William's family stayed in TN
but it is very <br>possible. Polly McGaughey Sutton
put together a book on McGaugheys several <br>years
ago. You may be able to find it locally, at FHC to
order or some other <br>library to order on
interlibrary loan, if you want to check.<br><br>Linda McCain

I don't know how many of you have tried
subscribing to the Rootsweb mailing lists. Although its
called subscibing....the list itself is free--no fees
necessary. You can chose from List form(receiving the emails
as they are posted) or Digest Form(receiving them in
groups in one email). I have had alot of luck finding
"cousins" who are also researching. Also if you are on a
mailing list for the area in which your ancestors lived
you increase the likelihood of finding info as well
as being able to help others which is satisfying in
itself. Go to the following url to find a list by Surname
