I need help finding the father of Ezekiel Baker. Ezekiel, my ggg
grandfather, was b.1805 in KY, d. 1897 on Indian Creek in Humphreys

named Sally who married a William Harding or Harder from Centerville.
Ezekiel married Nancy Blackwell in 1832. They had 7 children. They
were: John b. 1833, d. 1910 married Mary Ann Stewart/ Nancy b.
1835, d. 1917 Married Johnson Hall/ William H. b.1837 d. 1921

d. 1923 Married Aaron James Stewart, Martha b. 1854 d. 1923 Married

many descendants today. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it very
much. I also have a lot of information on

DEAVER, TRIPLETT
I am currently researching my great great grandparents, Richard
Albert Deaver and Elizabeth Triplett. The information I have
currently indicates that Richard was born in 1829 (NC or TN) and died
in Humphreys County, TN. Richard and Elizabth had six children:
Joseph Jasper Deaver (b 17 Sept 1859), Pink Deaver, Thomas Deaver,
Robert Deaver, Molly Deaver, and Belle Deaver. Elizabeth reportedly
died due to the Civil War in 1863. Richard reportedly served under
Bushood Rust Johnson in the Civil War.
I know for a fact that Joseph Jasper Deaver (my great grandfather)
was born in Humphreys County, TN in 1859. He later came to Erath
County, Texas as a young man in 1872.
