I am trying to find out if my gg-grandmother has any connection to other
Willmores listed on the same census. The census for 1850 Macon list a Brantley,
Ensley, James Elizabeth and Henry. My gg-grandmother was living with her
daughter Ann and son-in-law Barnett Gifford. Her age was 60, born in NC. Since
Barnett and Ann named their first son Joseph Ensley, I thought perhaps there was
a connection.Will appreciate any info

DRIVER. I was looking for information on Thomas Driver who was suppose to have
settled in Tennessee in 1794. I have a copy of a paper clipping of his great
grandson who said he was the first settler to settle here (now Macon County,
Lafayette). He thought he was settling in Kentucky but was 200 yards from it. He
came here from Virginia with his family. The paper clipping included R.H.Hagan
who showed him the place where the house use to set and to the spring that they
got water from. The reason I'm interested in this is my husband inherited the
land from his grandfather. And I was just needing more proof if I could find
some.

married Henry Laurence KIRBY/KEARBY/KERBY who lived in Macon County Tenn up to
1853. Then Temperance and her family went to MO. I belive this woman to be the
sister of my Temperance by her place of birth, her year of birth, and the fact
that Temperance named her daughter Willie Ann Hawkins KIRBY. Look forward to
hearing more and appreciate any help that comes my way.

information on them. My father was Don Lawrence SMITH and he was born on
September 23, 1914. His parents were Henry SMITH & Martha Evline Gibson
Smith. I have the great misfortune of not knowing anything further about these
people because my family has all passed on. My father was supposed to have been
born in Ducktown, TN. But according to Vital Records for the state of TN, he was
not. He spoke of St. Louis Missouri often when I was a young girl. My father
