TENNESSEE MYSTERIES

If you have information that you believe will help me find more information on these Tennessee ancestors, please don't hesitate send mail. I would also be happy to add your query regarding your Tennessee myster ancestor.

ANDERSON. I am researching the ANDERSON family who lived Grand Chain, Pulaski County, Illinois. My GG-Grandfather was Peter ANDERSON born 25 Dec 1842 in Mississippi. His parents were born in Tennessee. I would really like to know who they are. Peter married Rosetta DEMPSEY. Their children were Fred (my gr-grandfather), Rosetta, Preston, Sandy, Mariah and Silas. I would really like to know who their parents were and all that I can learn about them. I am looking forward to hearing from anyone with information about either family.

CLEMONS Looking for information on CLEMONS family. FRANK¹ CLEMONS was born in North Carolina. He married CATHERINE also from North Carolina. Information in the 1880 Weakley County Tennessee census would place Franks birth around 1826 in North Carolina and Catherine’s about 1835 in Tennessee. Their children were Andrew CLEMONS, born Jun/1841, North Carolina, Squire P. CLEMONS, born Oct/08/1855, Martin, Weakley County, Tennessee; died Apr/09/1941, Pulaski County, Illinois, Orange CLEMONS, born Aug/1858, Martin, Weakley County, Tennessee; died Mar/30/1954, Dongoloa, Illinois, Evelyn CLEMONS, born 1848.

Nearly all of Frank and Catherine’s children settled in Pulaski County, Illinois. ANDREW² CLEMONS married CAROLINE. Squire CLEMONS married PARTHENA J. COLWELL in Weakley County, Tennessee. (Parthena was married to Andy GARDNER in Weakley Co. prior to her marriage to Squire. Their children were Jacky, Martha and Eugene.) Orange CLEMONS married LAURA HARPER 1878, daughter of WILLIAM STUBBLEFIELD and JANE BYRD. EVELYN CLEMONS married a BAWLETT.

I would love to hear from anyone with information. You can find more on my families as well as links to other Clemons researchers at DebDavis.org.

HODGE I am looking for the Hodge family in the Obion County Tennessee area. I am interested in the time period prior to 1880 and present. Louis HODGE, born 1816 in North Carolina, married Malissa CREWS and had the following children; Aaron (1865), John (1866), Lucinda HODGE O'NEAL (b: 1872; Grand Chain, Illinois), Lena HODGE MCCLELLAND (b: 1873), Millie HODGE RICHARDSON(1878) and Aaron. Melissa had a son before the marriage named George SCOTT.

I am also trying to find Ellis and Louvenia Hodge and descendents. Ellis is the son of John and Lula HODGE. Ellis and Louvenia were married July 21, 1949 in Union City, Tennessee. I would very much like to find family members.

I would love to hear from anyone with information. You can find more on my families as well as links to other Hodge researchers at http://www.debdavis.org/.

I suggest that you check out Introduction to Tennessee Land History to learn a little bit about Tennesse geography. Nancy P. Goodman's GENEALOGY AND TENNESSEE site has a list of Tenessee Counties and their formation dates as well as other info.
