Tennessee, married Jefferson Davis HOPPER of Madison county TN 1885,
died 26 September 1937, in Jackson, Madison county Tennessee. Alice
lived until her marriage in Columbia. J. D. HOPPER studied medicine

manuscript migrated to Texas sometime after 1885 and died in Texas
some 25-30 years later. Her obituary lists a brother, Will KENNEDY,

George Washington Howell was my gggrandfather. According to a Civil

"Murrey" County, Tennessee.
This could be Maury County, Tennessee.
He was born around 1828.
He first shows in Alabama, at age 22, on the 1850 Perry County
Alabama Census as an overseer for George Brame.
He lived the rest of his life in Alabama, and died there before 1880.
Any information about this George Washington Howell would be

BEAN [?BIEHN], my 5g-grandparents. Alexander died about 1835 and
Mary 3 Aug 1823; both are supposedly buried in Columbia, Maury
County, TN. Their last child Samuel MCKEE was born in 1801 in Sumner
County, TN so I assume they moved there between 1802-1823. The other
11 children had been born in Orange County, NC. The information I
have on Alexander is that he was born in either Ireland or Orange
County, NC. For Mary I have either Ireland or Sumner County, TN; I am
inclined to discount the Sumner County origin unless she was born
there and her family moved to Orange County, NC and she and Alexander
moved back to TN after the birth of the first 11 children. Be glad

info on where to go from here? We've talked to Mr Pressnell (who was
still alive about 5 years ago). But he couldn't give us much help. He
and Edna were divorced a few short years after June was adopted and
she had very little contact with him while growing up. At some point,
someone told my mother that she was one of 7 children whose birth
mother died when June's youngest brother was born and the children
were placed at the orphanage. She thinks she heard somewhere about an
