John SULLIVAN was born in TN in abt. 1837-38. I found him in 1859 in an AR marriage record in 1860 in the Independence Co., AR census. He listed TN as his place of birth. There were many other Sullivans with him in the 1860 census in AR - all in the same township: H.W., P.B., Daniel M., and William. I traced H.W. and P.B. to Madison Co., TN in 1850 and William and Daniel M. to Carroll Co, TN in 1850. H.W. and P.B. are heads of household. William is a head of household. Daniel was 13 and living with his mother and step father: Sarah Black and Samuel BLACK. I found a John Sullivan, 14 (age is off a little) living in home of Jeremiah and Ann FULLER, step-father and mother in Madison Co. 1850. I need to find someone that knows some of these families in Carroll and Madison Counties. I need to know if I have found my grandfather John SULLIVAN. Please contact: Frank Sullivan, Jr., P.O.

I am the daughter of Fleetwood Boyd JOYNER s/o Isaac Newton JOYNER, who lived in Buena Vista around the period of late 1800's. My grandmother, Louellen Boyd JOYNER, d. in 1906 and is buried in Oak Grove Cemetery. My grandfather remarried and had another child. His children by Louellen were Pauline, Kate, and Fleetwood. If anyone knows more about the JOYNERs of Carroll Co. and how I may be related to them, please write me. I believe that I had an aunt Cora PARK who still lived in Huntingdon in the late 60's. I would love to know if I have any living relatives from the Joyner side. I don't know if my grandfather had other siblings who lived in Carroll Co. He was in the stave mill business with a man named L.J. PARKER. Their home office was in Lexington, TN.
