I have another family of Williams in Tennessee. Elizabeth Williams of Coffee County who married Squire Brown, b c 1795 Pickens Co SC., moved from TN to Texas Co., Missouri in I believe it is the 1860 census. Their daughter married Smith in the 1850s probably in Missouri, and died young, but he moved to near Paris, Texas after the Civil War. They had some kind of ties to Texas and Indian Territory. I have often wondered if my two Williams families were related farther back.

I have research on Henry Williams, b. c1822 KY or TN. In 1860, Madison Co., Missouri he was living next-door to an older man named James Williams, c 1797 TN. Family stories say the Williams were Indians. When Henry Williams moved to Kansas shortly after the Civil War, his land was actually located in what was then Indian Territory, but a surveying error moved him into Kansas. One of his sons was named Thomas. I know who Chief Bowls is.

Rosemary,

One line that I am working on is Thomas Williams who was born in NC about 1757 and was living in TN by 1803. He was some how connected to or traveling with a band of Cherokees led by Chief Bowls who took his band from NC to TN to Missiouri then down to Texas by 1819.
Thomas Williams had two sons, Leonard & William, who married Cherokee and were translators and Indian Scouts later in Texas.
Thomas lived in Rusk Co, TX and died the at William's Settlement in 1835.

I would like to find my correct Williams and Brown. I have information on them in Missouri in the 1800s, but I have not found their records in Tennessee.

I research Reagan and Huskey in Sevier County, and Pigg and related families in Warren County. My families had moved on before the Civil War.

I am researching the descendants of Josiah Thornton & wife Ester Ferguson?. Both were born in Spartanburg Co., SC. They traveled with their family to TN & settled in Hickman Co. abt. 1813. Many of their descendants continue to live in Hickman Co.

I am also researching other family lines who traveled through TN prior to settling in Tishomingo Co., MS & other states. The TN counties I am researching are Blount, Grundy and Warren.

I am mostly searching Tennessee for Harpole and Elrod, although I am finding more of my Satterfield family coming from Tennessee also.

My interest lies in the Carothers clan who lived in Hickman County, Tennessee. The family began when William Howell Carothers moved to Tennessee from Georgia about 1828.He was married first to Sarah Lacy who died in her 20s about 1833. William then married Sarah Mariah Barr. From William and these two ladies, came the Hickman County Carothers. Phillip

I am the new administrator for the Hankins group. My family came from New Jersey, through North Carolina, and made their way down to Tennessee, where they made there home. My great grandfather Benjamin Harden Hankins donated the land that had a school built on it. If you would like to know more please visit The Hankins Group. I am new to both the site, and to genealogy wise. Please have a little patience with me. Thank You---Jeanne
