| 351 | The Bowling family moved west to Texas in December, 1875. They came by train to Dallas, Texas, then continued their journey in a covered wagon. William Jones Bowling was a Baptist minister, an occupation he was called to while a Confederate prisoner of war in a Union prison during the Civil War. Grave marker inscribed Rev. W.J. Bowling, "Papa, Rest in Peace." Buried in Rowe Cemetery, Donley County, Texas. Family Bible written in the hand of Stella Ophelia Bowling Cunningham lists names and birthdates for family members listed for William Jones Bowling and Mary Elizabeth Kennedy. Copy is in possession of Mary Elder Davis. | BOWLING, William Jones (I-2144834751)

| 352 | The Burcham family lived near the Lane family, as they are on the same page on the census. Book Lane's wife died before the 1920 Census, and they married after the 1910 Census, so it is difficult to determine which of the Burcham sisters Book married. Based on ages, the most likely candidate is Annie, who was about three years younger than Book. | BURCHAM, Annie (I-2144833812)

| 353 | The records of Albemarle County, Virginia (Deed Book 1, p. 33) show that on September 8, 1748, Thomas Blakey of the county of Goochland, purchased of William Noland for fifty pounds, two hundred acres of land of Arthur's Creek of Slate River. The Surveyor's Book of Albemarle, 1,107 shows that on December 5, 1749, Thomas Turpin, assistant surveyor, had surveyed for him two hundred acres additional which lay adjacent to the purchase made from Noland and he took out a Patent for this tract on September 10, 1755. In 1761 Buckingham County was formed from Albemarle, and thenceforth embraced his residence. He continued to reside here until his death. It was situated near Muddy Creek of Slate River and it is possible the family carried that name with them to Logan County, Kentucky, where Muddy Creek was likewise found near their residence. | BLAKEY, Thomas (I-2144834454)

| 355 | There is some debate as to whether Penelope was a Johnson/Johnston or a Bolling. There is evidence for both arguments, as there are many males in the Christopher Clark/Penelope Johnson lineage with the first name Bolling; however, that may also be a name inherited from another female in the family. There were Johnsons in the Cedar Creek Meeting, and as notes for Christopher Clark mentioned, some members of the Cedar Creek Meeting were ousted for marrying outside the meeting, which shifts the evidence in favor of Penelope being a Johnson. Even though the Stevens-Davis Book (page 196) states that Christopher Clark (son of Micajah Clark and Sallie Ann Moorman) married circa 1709, Penelope Massie or Bolling, (died post 1754), the daughter of William Bolling and a grandaughter of Anthony Ashley-Cooper (121-83), First Earl of Shaftesbury, Lord High Commander of England, and the father of Habeas Corpus, "Anthony Roots and Branches," (page 181) states that the wife of Christopher Clark is believed to have been Penelope Johnson, b. Aug 4, 1684, dau. of Edward Johnson and Elizabeth Walker, St. Peter's Parish, New Kent Co., VA. Randolph A. Malone, in his book, "Josiah Carter," page 243, refers to Capt. Christopher Clark and Penelope (Johnson) Clark. "Anthony Roots and Branches," (page 198) also states that Penelope Johnson was the right age, and in the right place to have been the wife of Christopher Clark, and that Christopher Clark named four of his children for names in the Edward Johnson family, including Penelope. It is also stated on the same page (198) that the Genealogical Society of the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter day Saints has accepted Johnson as the last name of Penelope, wife of Christopher Clark. Also stated on the same page (198) is the following: (1) "Descendants of William and John Johnson" by Dr. Lorand V. Johnson says in comments in the back of the book re: Chart 1: "Agnes Clark was the daughter of Christopher and Penelope Clark. Penelope Johnson was the daughter of Edward Johnson of St. Peter's Parish, New Kent Co." (2)Publications disagree about the names of the parents of Christopher Clark's wife but there is a recurring statement that she was a granddaughter or great-granddaughter of Anthony Ashley-Cooper, the First Earl of Shaftesbury [which adds to the confusion]. Dr. Lorand Johnson attempted to show that the First Earl of Shaftesbury was a likely father of Sarah and Lucretia Massie, who married William and John Johnston of New Kent County, Virginia in the late 1600s. Lord Ashley had three marriages, but none of his wives are named. Lord Ashley was made one of the proprietors of Carolina in the spring of 1655; he persuaded Quakers to go to Carolina in the early 1670s. About this time, he became the Earl of Shaftesbury. He became involved in a plot agains the king in 1679, and escaped to the Netherlands under the name Johnson. Anthony-Ashey Cooper, First Earl of Shaftesbury, secured passage of the Habeas Corpus Act in 1679. He became prominent under Cromwell, then helped plan the restoration of the monarchy. King Charles II made him Baron Ashley, Earl of Shaftesbury, and Lord Chancellor. If it is proven that Penelope was a Bolling, she would be a descendant of Pocahontas. However, as such respected sources as have been listed here have accepted Penelope as a Johnson/Johnston, the Johnson/Johnston lineage is the one given in this family file. | JOHNSON, Penelope (I-2144834386)

| 378 | William had two brothers, Alexander and Thomas. Alexander was born in 1781 in probably VA or NC. William was born in 1784 in NC or VA and Thomas Boling was born 1760-70 per census. Thus both father and mother alive in 1783-4. Using averages, parents probably 20-40 years old at time of Thomas’ birth, i.e. average age of parents is about 25 years. Parents born 1720-40 and if lived avg. time, then died 1790-1810. Alexander married Elizabeth Worthy circa 1800-1802, if first child is Preston, born in TN in 1803; therefore, they moved from VA/NC/SC to TN by 1803 and are most likely living in Grainger Co., TN in 1804 (tax list) along with Martin Worthy, relative to Elizabeth. Of note is that the names Alexander, William, James, and Isham are first names used by the Alexander, Thomas and William Bowling families and other Bowlings. There are an Alexander Bowling and two William Bowlings and Thomas Bowling living in Grainger Co., TN in an 1804 & 1805 tax list, along with several other Bowlings (Joseph, Joel, Jesse, James, David, Lisha, Stephen, and Edmund living there between 1800-10). Also living there and of significance is Martin Worthy, possible father, probable brother or uncle to Elizabeth Worthy Bowling. Neither Alexander or William are on the 1808 Grainger Co. tax list. Alex next appears in Lincoln Co., TN in a Nov. 28, 1810 court record being assigned to a road crew to build a road to Huntsville, AL. This would certainly have taken him through Hazel Green, AL (Madison Co., MS Terr.) where he had a land grant from John Braham in 1811. Alexander is also mentioned in two deeds as owning land adjoining them, in the second district on the waters of Freemans Fork of Flint River and adjoining a tract granted to James Bright and by him to Alexandert Boling, dated 8/27/1816. In the other, it is described as on the west fork of the Flint River and adjoining Alexander Boling’s tract sold by said Bright, dated 5/26/1817 but referring to original bond of 10/5/1810. According to Timothy Marsh who has written many books on deed genealogy in Tennessee, Lincoln and other counties below Duck River in Bedford Co., TN were opened from the Indians in 1806. This participated a migration from northern Tenn. where people lived on land still owned by the Indians. Marsh also said that the tract described above would have been west of the highway from Fayetteville, Lincoln Co., TN to Hustsville, AL and near the AL/TN boarder. Further, he said the land in Lincoln Co. was not good farm land and many settlers moved south into Madison Co., AL to cotton farm. This also led to movement westward into Mississippi and W. Tenn. A William Boland is also in Lincoln Co., TN in a Nov. 1811 court record recording a stock mark, however, this may be the William Bowlin who died in Lincoln Co., TN in 1833 leaving wife Mildred and children: David, George, Rebecca who married Henry McCall and James Bowlin. Also, Samuel Webb, guardian for James and David who arrived at full age on 8/13&15/1848 per court papers. Alexander moved to AL and is in Madison Co. by 1811 and Lawrence Co. by the 1820 census. A William Bowling appears on a Limestone Co., AL census in 1820 with 1 male over 21, 2 males under 21, 1 female over 21 and 1 female under 21. War of 1812 During The War of 1812, both Alexander and William would be 31 and 28 years old and probably participated in The War of 1812. Coffee's Regiment (John Coffee owned land in Lincoln Co., TN circa 1810-16). Tenn. Vol., War of 1812 was formed in Franklin, Tenn. just south of Nashville, (100-120 miles from Lincoln Co., TN). There is an Alex and William Boling in this unit. This unit moved from Franklin, Tenn. on Jan. 19, 1813 down to Washington near Natchez, Miss. After a month they were ordered disbanded and marched back to Tenn. before being disbanded. By Oct. 1813 Alexander joins Burris' Miss. Militia for 19 days. Thus timewise, it is possible that Alexander served in both units. If both brothers were living in Lincoln Co. circa 1810-12, it is probable that they served in Coffee's unit. According to Marsh, John Coffee lived in Rutherford Co., TN and also owned land in Lincoln and Bedford Counties. He was a close friend of Andrew Jackson. This increases the probability that this is my [Larry Bowling's] ancestor in Coffee’s unit. From 1821 on, William spent most of his life in the West Tenn. counties of Gibson, Madison, Haywood, and Hardeman. On Jan. 8, 1869, he sold land in Haywood Co. to his two grandsons Wm. Thomas and J. A. In one deed William is identified as from Obion Co., TN. A search of the land records in Obion Co. does not list any Bowling deeds. In another Haywood Co. deed, he is listed as of Gibson Co. A search of their deed indexes list at least three deeds as William Bowling (C256, G400, G550). Additionally there are others for Lewis, Thomas, James and John. William was in Marshall Co., MS in the 1850 census, but back in Hardeman by 1860. William apparently died in 1870 as an inventory of his estate was submitted in Hardeman Co. Court on Jan 2, 1871 and dated Dec. 31, 1870. The migration path from VA into central NC into SC to NE Tenn. to AL and north into West TN. is an established migration path. It also coincides with the Worthys as far as Chester Co., SC and Martin Worthy into Grainger Co., TN. According to a book on the migration patterns into Tenn., many settlers from VA and NC crossed the mountains at various gaps into the valley on the west side of the mountains. From there they moved south often via the rivers including the Tenn. River which drops south into AL before going north back into Tenn. around the Haywood, Madison, Hardeman Co.'s area. If the sighting of Alex and William in Grainger and Lincoln Counties of Tenn., Madison Co. AL, and Madison Co., TN are correct as believed, this almost directly follows this migration route. West Tenn. was purchased from the Indians in 1819 and early white settlement started in 1820-21. The following Bowlings appeared as follows in Madison Co., TN: 1821 - Joseph Boling 1 TL (town lot) $.25 tax list William Bolin 1 Black pole $.25 tax list 1822 - Joseph Boling 1 White pole $.25 tax list William Boling 1 White pole $.25 tax list 1823 - Joseph Boling 1 White pole $.25 tax list William Boling 1 White pole $.25 tax list William Boling, Jr. 1 WP & carriage $.25 tax list Lewis Boling 1 White pole $.25 tax list A search of the Madison Co., Tenn. court minutes shows that an I. Boling first appeared in March,1822. Other Bolings in Madison Co., TN early on included Thomas 1822, our William 1821, Lewis 1823 tax list and deed witness (1825 witness on Joel Dyer deed in Gibson Co.) and Joseph 1821 from tax list, court minutes, and history. Thus among the very first settlers of Madison Co. were Thomas, William, I, Lewis and Joseph Bowling. From court records and land records we know that they interacted and lived near each other. From census, tax and court records we know that at least Thomas, William and Joseph were born before 1800 with I. born by 1801 at the latest to be of age in 1822. We also have a David Bowling born pre-1800 showing up in Haywood Co. by 1840 (Possibly David in Green Co., TN in 1812). Further we know that there were at least two and possibly three Thomas Bowlings in Haywood by 1830. The first is Thomas, Sr. b. 1760-70 and who died about 1848 and certainly by May 1850 when a court action is taken by heirs of Daniel Cherry against heirs of Thomas Boling, Sr. This document list the heirs of Thomas, Sr. as William Boling, Jr., Daniel B. Boling, John R. Williams and Mary, his wife, and Lewis Boling of Haywood Co., Green B. Boling of Shelby Co., Thomas Boling, Jr. and Nancy Boling of Fayette Co. This document clears up a lot and clearly divides the Bowlings into two or three family units, i.e. William, Sr., Thomas, Sr. and Joseph. William, Sr. was later added to the suit since he had been surety on the land transaction. This would strongly indicate that he is related to Thomas to provide bond on a deed. Thomas, Jr. was born in 1803 (1802 d. 1886 if Thomas, Jr. buried in Pine Log Cemetery in Craighead Co., Ark.) and is also in 1840 census. DNA Study In 2001 the Bolling Family Association undertook a Y-chromosome DNA study of its members in the hope of identifying the various families or haplotypes of Bollings in the U.S. BFA DNA Study Several descendants of Alexander, one of William and one of Thomas participated in the study. They all matched exactly using the 12 loci y-chromosome test conducted by Family Tree DNA and the Univ. Of Arizona. This proves that they all shared a common Bowling ancestor and proves the relationship of these three men when combined with other evidence. In 2002, John Bouldin, a documented descendant of Thomas Bouldinge 1580-1655, Fh665, who immigrated to America in 1610 on the Swan, also took the DNA test and matched my group 12 of 12. This test was expanded to the 25 allele test and compared with mine. We, again, matched exactly 25 of 25, proving that we share a common Bouldin/Bowling ancestor within 23 generations with a 90% confidence and 7 generations at 50%. Another descendant of Thomas Bouldinge 1580 has also matched this group. Thus it would appear, based upon the DNA evidence collected thus far, that Alexander, William and Thomas are descendants of Thomas Bouldinge 1580-1655 through an as yet undiscovered branch of his tree. Further to the relationship between Alexander, William and Thomas Bowling, Alexander’s will names his brother William as executor. Although Thomas Bowling, Sr. could be an uncle to the other two, it is believed that he is the oldest brother. We also know that Joseph was born 1790-1800 from 1830 Madison Co. census and that he died by 1834 when his estate inventory is entered into court records. He may be the son of Thomas, Sr. based upon a Madison Co. Court minutes book A, 17 June 1822 where Thomas Boling and sons (space with no comma) Joseph Bolin, ..... However, it is interesting that the last names are spelled differently by the writer in the original document when they are only two words apart and that none of the other sons of Thomas are called out. Perhaps this is because Joseph is of age and the other are not. It could also be because Joseph might be the brother of Thomas, William and Alexander. The third Thomas is the Thomas who is deceased by 1831 and whose heirs owed taxes on land in Haywood. This is from the sheriff of Haywood Co., John G. Carithers, report to the court of lands and town lots belonging to non-residents on which the taxes have not been collected for the year 1831 and list "Bowling, Thomas, heirs, 184 acres, dis. 10, range 4, sect. 11"). The "land belonging to non-residents" may indicate that this Thomas was not living in Haywood, which raises the question where was he and what was his relationship to the other Bowlings in Haywood? Extensive research in Haywood Co., and Crockett Co., TN failed to turn up the original deed for this land owned by Thomas. It also failed to turn up the deed for the sale of this land by Carithers. D10, R4, S11 is in the Alamo, TN area which is now in Crockett Co. which was formed in 1845. This Thomas could well be the father of the three brothers as he owned property in the county apparently from an early date, died before 1831, and carried the name of the oldest brother. Thus the following residents/families of Haywood/Madison/Gibson Counties 1820-1840: Thomas Boling, Sr. b. 1760-70 per census, d bet 1848 & May 1850 per court case wife unknown children: Joseph b 1790-1800, dec by 1834 from estate inventory, (Madison Co. Minutes book A, 17 June 1822, ordered Thomas Boling and sons.. Joseph...) Lewis b 1802-5 (taxable in 1823, not on list in 1821 or 1822) Thomas, Jr. b c 1802-3, d p1886 William, Jr. b 1805-11 VA, d March 1870 Green B. b 1811 KY, d bef 1860 Daniel B. b 1814 Mary, wife of John R. Williams Nancy William Bowling b 1784 NC d 1870 Hardeman Co., TN wife Mary children: Lucretia b 1812, wife of Thomas Yandell Nancy Ann b 1817, wife of Francis A. Edney Isham Merriman b 1824 Alexander b 1826 Mary Adeline b 1828, wife of Ashburn Davie Emaline T. b 1836, wife of William Henry Matilda C., wife of John C. Davie Others Born pre-1800 Thomas dec. by 1831 from estate inventory and probably before 1830 census since only two Thomas' in county. David b. 1770-80 from 1840 Haywood Census I. on court inventory in March,1822, thus b. before 1801. Others Born 1800-1820 Burgess b. 1810-1820 (probably son of William, Sr.) David B. b 1814 (probably son of David?) Thus from the DNA test is is know that Thomas Boling, Sr. and William Bowling, Sr, were related (probably brothers) and given the ages of David and I. (Isham?) they are from the same generation and thus could be brothers to Alexander, William and Thomas. A study of the land deeds in Gibson and Haywood Co. indicated that the Bowlings can be broken into two groups that lived about one mile apart. The first Bowling purchase in Haywood Co. was by William Bowling, Alexander’s brother, on Dec. 15, 1828 of 640 acres for $1050 (A-484). He sold this land in 1834 to Benjamin Tyson and John Johnson for $3200 making a nice profit (G-337). He buys 140 acres in Gibson Co. on Sept. 28, 1833. He sells 70 acres of it in Feb. 1839. On Dec. 9, 1836 he buys 156 ¼ acres (G-394) from Spencer Payne and on Dec. 14, 1836 (G-35) he buys 640 acres from Robert P. Rhea , in D 10, R 4, S11. Witnesses to these deeds were Burgess Bowling (probably oldest son of William) and Elizabeth Boling (probably widow of Joseph Bowling), and Thomas Yandell (husband of Lucretia, William’s oldest daughter). In 1834 Thomas Boling, Sr. makes the first of several purchases in D 10, R4, S11 from Solomon Rogers of Wilson Co. of 108 acres (G-349). This is clearly defined as part of the 1500 acres tract granted to Gen. Benjamin Smith as #632. Thus the two areas of Bowling purchases are defined early on as the John Rhea grant #E-214 and the Benjamin Smith grant #632. Both grants are in the same part of the county and are separated by the Wells & Givens grant #179 of 640 acres, thus they are one mile apart. Thomas, Sr. owned property in the same tract as Thomas, Jr., William, Jr., and Daniel B. Boling. Also a G. B. Boling and David Boling witnessed some deeds among this group. In 1867 William Bowling, Jr. sells land to G. W. Bowling, probably his son. William Bowling, Jr. died in Haywood Co. before 1871 and his heirs are spelled out in a deed (Book 3-237, page 291) as follows: F. M.(Francis M.), J. A.(James A.), W. A.(Wm. O.), G.W (George W.)., Mary E. wife of James S. Baldridge, Charlotte E. wife of Neil M Permenter, J. S. (Joseph), L. S.(Lemuel S.), Lafayette S. and Sciota J. wife of John Clark. Names in parenthesis are from census data. There is a Franklin L. b c 1854 in 1860 census that does not appear in the above deed. In the Goodspeed on Dyer Co., TN, William Boling, father of F. M., is described as a Virginian and pioneer settler of Haywood Co., TN. Further, court records define William's wife as Elizabeth Moss, daughter of John P. Moss and wife Polly Stephenson Moss. Other evidence of interest include early marriage and census records which disclose that an Isham Merriman (also spelled Merrimoon) was married to Luerelia Turner in Mecklenburg, VA on April 4, 1787. By 1790 he had moved from VA to Montgomery Co., NC and by 1800 he was in Mecklenburg, NC and by 1810 he is in Stewart Co., TN, just north of Madison Co. Is this Isham Merriman the namesake for Isham Merriman Bowling? And if so, is there some intermarriage? Further, the Yandell family from Mecklenburg Co., NC moved to Sumner Co., TN around 1811 and later to Haywood Co. where Lucretia Bowling, daughter of William, married Thomas Yandell. In 1800, Mecklenburg Co., NC reached to the SC boarder and was literally 10 miles from Chester Co., SC., birthplace of Elizabeth Worthy Bowling. Further, a Thomas C. Bowlin was born in Moore Co., NC, near Montgomery and Mecklenburg, in 1793 (from IGI, parents unknown). He had children named Isham, Robert, William, James, Precilla among others and moved to St. Clair, AL by 1820 when first child born there. William Worthy, Sr., probable father of Elizabeth Worthy Bowling, came from Caswell Co., NC to Chester Co., SC c 1785. A William Worthy, 100+, is living in the household of John Worthy in Cherokee Co., AL in 1860 census. A William Worthy is living with Milton Worthy in Murray Co., GA in 1850 and is listed as 98 born VA. In 1840 there is a 60-70 male with Milton, 39. Also, John, William, Samuel Worthy living in same area of Murry Co., GA. Thus one could conclude from the name and migration pattern that these people did indeed know each other, may have been related, and may have traveled together. Further, given the time and Indian conditions in this part of Tenn., it is almost certain that these people moved in groups for safety and were probably related and interrelated. Working Theory So, here's my working theory at this time. One of the SC Bowlings is father of my [Larry Bowling] Alexander and William. Several of the SC Bowlings are related, i.e. brothers. Probable candidates for father of Alex are Joseph in Pendleton Co., SC in 1790 with 24300, John in Pendleton Co., SC in 1790 with 21200, William in Pendleton Dist. SC in 1800 with 21010-50010, James in Pendleton Dist. SC in 1800 with 20110-30110, John in Spartanburg with 24704. The James in Grainger in 1830, age 70-80 who may be the same as in Pendleton in 1800. A Joseph shows up in Grainger Co., TN in 1801 when his daughter Elizabeth or Lucy marries James Ethridge or Eastridge there. Mary Bowing [Bowling?] married Michael Kearns, Jr. 3/2/1803, Grainger Co., TN, James Bowing, Bondsman. My [Larry Bowling] Alex would have been married circa 1800. Further, Thomas Bowling in Haywood Co., TN in 1840 is 70-80 and has probable son Joseph who dies in 1834. Green B. buys from his estate sale, as does his wife Elizabeth, Thomas, Sr. and Jr., William, G. and Daniel Bowling. Joseph Bowling and wife Voluntine [Valentine?] Haley, dau. of David Haley of Campbell Co., TN and father of Larkin H. Bowling of Anderson Co., TN may have been in Grainger in 1800 and may be the Joseph with daughter who married Eastridge. Joseph moved to Anderson Co., TN and may have died there. David Haley, his son David, Jr., and son in law, Capt. Jason Cloud, who was in Chester Co., SC in 1790, were all in Grainger Co., TN in 1805 along with Alexander, Thomas and William. Joseph Boling may have been in Madison Co., Ky in 1800. Madison Co., KY needs to be researched. Green B. Bowling, son of Thomas, Sr. says in the 1850 Shelby Co., TN census that he was born in 1811 in Kentucky. Look for Thomas, Sr. In KY in 1810.

| 384 | Zachariah Moorman was born on the Isle of Wight in 1619. At 19 years of age (1639), he joined the British Army and became a captain under Cromwell in the invasion of Ireland. After the subjugation on Ireland, he lived there for a few years, probably in the Belfast area. He married Mary Candler, daughter of William Candler, a native of Northhampton County, England and a colonel in Cromwell's army. He was awarded landed estate in Ireland and settled there. He returned to the Isle of Wight to live for a few years, but being a sympathizer of Charles I, he became an enemy of Cromwell when he had the king beheaded and thus was exiled from the British Isles. In the spring of 1669, Zachariah, with his children: Thomas, Charles, and daughter Sallie Ann (wife of Micajah Clark, Sr.); and Michael and Margaret Clark and their sons, embarked at Southhampton, England on the ship GLASGOW and sailed to Barbados, West Indies. Michael and Margaret Clark and most of their sons settled on the island where they owned land and slaves. In early 1670 Zachariah and his family, including Micajah and Sallie Ann Clark, joined immigrants on their way to South Carolina, where they established the first permanent colony in that state. During the same year the Moorman and Clark families proceeded to Virginia and settled at Somerton, Nansemond County. In the fall of 1672, George Fox, organizer of the Society of Friends, while preaching and traveling in America on his way southward, stayed at the home of Zachariah Moorman and on his return from North Carolina, a few weeks later, stayed with them and held a meeting. Zachariah's wife was already of this belief, and Thomas, his son, was so impressed and became committed with the Faith of Friends. Thomas was Vestryman in the Episcopal Church at that time, but converted to their belief then. Alternatively, others believe Zachariah Moorman left the Isle of Wight in 1669 with his family (his daughter, son-in-law, and three sons) to escape the persecution they suffered as Quakers. A few years later, the Moormans moved to Somerton, Nansemond County, Virginia, in order to be near a Quaker Meeting. The Records of St. Peter's Parish prove that Thomas Moorman was in St. Peter's Parish and was a processioner in 1689. from Louisa County Historical Magazine, Vol. 11, Number 1, Summer 1979, p. 20. There is no record of Zachariah's wife Mary Candler accompanying him to Virginia, thus, it is assumed she died in 1670, after landing in South Carolina, before the family traveled to Virginia. | MOORMAN, Zachariah (I-2144834294)

| 385 | [Letters from Daisy Jennings Hargett's grandaughter, Ann Mann, to Jan Jennings on 2 March 2005 [Ann_Mann@charter.net] Jan, I am home from my little trip on which, among other things got to view the dead sea scrolls. I have had time to read the material you sent, and am so pleased you would share with me. You have done so much research. Wish I had more to share with you. I never met my grandparents and mother was vague. The story is that Wilburn left AL for Texas on the wrong end of the sheriff's gun for fighting a duel. Guess it could be true as mother said the Hargetts ignored her family. He must have been a real character as he and his oldest son Clarence left his second family and went back to Texas where they both died. Wilburn in 1931 in Wolf City. The Hargett clan are still in Franklin Co AL. Have the Hargett line back to 1700 in Germany. Mother, Alma, married Edward Clark born in Fountain Co IN. 1877, in Decatur AL in 1914 they were married. I was an only child and Minnie and Clarence were childless. I married E. Lee Mann Aug 24 1946 in Giles Co TN. We had four sons Thomas, Lee Jr., Steve, and Richard. After our marriage we both went to school at Auburn on the GI bill-- can you imagine living on $105 dollars a month? We have lived here in Lawrenceburg ever since. We lost both Lee and Tom in 1993. Have nine grandchildren and two greats. I am now searching the TN census in the outside chance that Fannie may have been born in TN. There a lot of Curry listed in Maury Co. Thanks again. Jan I have WF birthday as Jan 15, 1862, and he married Etta fulton Oct 18,1899. They had six children. Miss Etta was the only grandparent I ever had. She lived to be 93 and made a garden the year she died. I will let you know if I ever find anything on Jennings or Curry. There is a Richard Jennings here who is somewhat into genealogy. I have ask him to share. maybe? Ann | CLARK, Ann (I-2144834339)
