Greetings from Sydney Australia. Some time ago, a book came into my
possession which I believe may have once belonged to Francis Haynes
Gordon. I had done some research a few months back but unfortunately
lost all my work when my computer was stolen.
Are you able to assist in identifying the signature in the book (email
me for file attached photo) to any you may have on record? As you can
see the signature is dated September 1862, which fits in with his life.
By way of interest and for your information, the book is a history of
Greece and although not related to agriculture, it does tie in with
FH Gordon's education, profession and wealth. There are other
scriblings in the book but they have faded and are unclear. There is
also a hand drawn map of Athens which may mean the owner travelled to
Greece personally- but this is speculation only.
Any information you may provide would be greatly appreciated.
Regards

WILSON COWAN/COWEN migrated from Tennessee to Brown County, Ohio,
with his family (wife ELIZA, children AMANDA, ELIZABETH, FRANKLIN,
JULIA, SARAH B., JAMES) sometime between 1845 and 1850. The Cowens
are in the 1850, 1860 and 1870 Censuses in Ohio. I want to find them
in 1840. Which county has the most African American freedmen and/or
COWEN slaveowners in 1840?

Looking for information on David HARVILL(HARVEL) born abt 1808 in NC,
His son Reems Harvill also listed as Absalom Harvill, Absalom R
Harvill born about 1849 in Smith County. Listed as Reems Harvell in
1850 Census, Mispelled in 1860 Census (Alfered G.) by 1870 Census
listed as Absalom HARVEL I believe Absalom moved to Cumberland County
After 1900. Since he he went by his middle name he has been a little
hard to track, the variation caused by different Spellings.

Looking for information on a William Heflin and wife Susannah
b. NC. They appear on the Smith Co. TN Census 1850 and
1860. I would like to find their children's names. Believe my
gg-grandfather Alexander, b. 1804/05 was one of their sons.
Perhaps Hawkins, Terrell, and Sewell Heflin were also sons.
No proof. My Alexander Heflin also appeared in Smith Co.
Census. He moved to Winchester Co. Tn, then to Franklin Co.
Tn, then to Lawrence Co. AL. 1850 & 1870 Census. Sewel
Heflin also moved to Lawrence Co. AL.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

1953 when he was about 20 years old. If this gent is living, he would
be about 70 years old. He has proven to be my impenetrable brick
wall. If you have information on him or his descendants, please,
