NALL, WAGGONER

I'm looking for any information about James NALL (b. abt 1786 in NC) and wife Elizabeth WAGGONER (b. abt 1788 in TN), who m. 1806 in Grainger County TN and reportedly moved to Bedford County soon thereafter. James Nall shows up "next door" in Williamson County in 1820 with 5 children born between 1804-1820, and it makes sense that this is the same family. Yet we know that James and Elizabeth were separated about 1820, and were divorced in 1823 in Perry County AL!!!! I'm looking for anything I can find, especially land records, children's names and birthdates, and deaths - we suspect there may have been some earlier children who died young, due to the ages of the children we know about. It would also be interesting to know if there were any other NALL or WAGGONER relatives in Bedford County from 1806 - 1830. Thank you so much!

I'm trying to locate information on my GGgrandfather Alfred Rodgers. He was born in Bedford Co about 1821. I have no other information about him.
