Jeremiah ODLE died in Overton Co TN in 1820. He married Margaret EVENS about 1794. Where were they married? In a deed for 400+ acres of land in Overton Co, the widow Margaret and children John, Samuel, Sarah, Rebecca, Abraham, Nancy, Polly, William, and Margaret were named. All of the children except Abraham, Polly, and William moved to Washington Co AR with their families after they married. Who did John marry? Where did Abraham, Polly, and Margaret marry and where did they go? Thank you.

Searching for others working on the Lanier family who lived in Overton County, Tn. during the first half of the 19th century. George W. Lanier, born about 1780 in Virginia, grew up there and in Overton County where they had several children including Paschal, Andrew J., George W., William, and others. George W. Lanier (Sr.) was likely the son of Washington Lanier and Elizabeth Hicks. George and Jane Lanier and their children went from Overton County to Andrew County, Missouri after 1840 where George died in 1854.

MARTINA CARPENTER Wed Feb 19 18:47:54 1997
CARPENTER-SHOOK-SEARS. Benjamin CARPENTER, b. abt 1785, d. possibly before 1820 in an accident while engaged in boating on the Mississippi River. His family may have been living in Indiana at the time. He supposedly signed a "Petition from the Inhabitants of Overton County, Tennessee to the Tennessee General Assembly" on 6 Oct 1815. About 1810/1812 he married Melia (Melea, Milly) SHOOK, b. abt 1787, d. after 1850. She may have been daughter of William SHOOK and Catherine SEARS of Bedford Co., TN. After Benjamin's death, Melia lived in Bedford Co in 1820, then moved to Jefferson Co., IL in 1830. There is a Milly CARPENTER, with family, living in Bedford Co. in 1820 census but age doesn't agree with later IL censuses. Is this Melia SHOOK? There is a Benjamin CARPENTER, with family, in Overton Co. in 1820 census. Is there a connection between them? Need any information on these CARPENTERS, SHOOKS, and SEARS. I will share what I have.

I have a history book from Cincinnati, Ark. that show my gggandfather being born in Overton Co. Tenn.. DOB 3/2/1800 in Overton co, Tenn., DOD 11/2/1887 in Ark. These dates are in agreement with family records and I would like to find out who James SMITH's father was or any earlier information. James SMITH married a woman named Rebbecca ODLE or ODEL according to this history book. This does not exactly agree with family records as they list her as Rebbecca Odel HARRELL. Rebbecca's DOB is listed as 2/12/1803 The marriage date is 4/22/1822 The book also lists her parents as being Jeremiah and Margaret ODLE or ODEL. I would like to find out if there is records of a Rebbecca Odel marrying a James SMITH on that date.. or if anyone could clear up this slight mystery for me...that she was an ODEL, or a HARRELL?? Thank you
