105. John Bradberry, b. ca 1810 in
VA,
appears in the 1840 and 1850 censuses in District 7 (around Dresden).
His
wife was Sarah Anne McClure, b. ca 1820 in NC. They had one
child,
George McClure Bradberry, b. 1846 in Weakley Co. By 1860 the
family
had moved to Greene Co., AR. Both John and Sarah were listed as
illiterate.
There is also a James Bradberry in the District 7 1840 census, so John
and James are definitely different men. By 1850 a big group of
Bradberrys
appeared in Weakley Co., District 7, "headed" by John Henry Bradberry
from
VA. Is there a connection between John, James, and John Henry? My
instinct
says there must be, but I can't find it.

126. My brick wall is
where my 4g grandfather, JOHN MOORE (born about 1765, Ireland; wife
MARY DUFFor DUFFY) and family were before going to Hamilton Co., IL in
1816. His son JOHN MOORE (born 1790-1800, probably in SC) did not
go to Illinois. Family information says he lived in DRESDEN, TN
and had 2 children, a son John and a daughter Mary. I have
assumed that JOHN MOORE, jr. did not go to Illinois because he was
already married. His sister SARAH MOORE HEARD was married and
living in RUTHERFORD CO., TN in 1810. Brothers JAMES and ALFRED were
born in SC in 1796 and 1801 respectively. His brother, GREENBERRY
W. MOORE was born in TN in 1809. These brothers went to Illinois
with their father. Any help identifying JOHN MOORE of
Dresden, when he came there, where he might have come from, and
information about his descendents would be much appreciated. I do
not have any middle initials for either of these men and have not come
across any family Bible which might offer assistance. Thank you
for any help you can offer. Cam camellis@charter.net

132.
My family has been trying for years to determine who the parents were
of Freeman GATEWOOD and Stephen GATEWOOD. Both were born in Virginia,
and both married Noblin sisters. Freeman died in Weakley County, TN in
1892 (buried in Winstead Cemetery) and Stephen died in Weakley County,
TN in 1878 and is buried in Palmersville. I believe both were born in
York County, VA and had several other brothers and sisters. The two
migrated to North Carolina some time around 1820 (possibly with their
mother, who may have been named Lucy?) and then on to TN sometime
between 1830 and 1835. We don't have any information on their father,
and nothing definitive about their mother other than a census record
that lists Lucy as head of household. mhofbauer74@yahoo.com
134. I am trying to discover the
parents of MOSES A DAVIS. Moses is on the Weakley Co., 1840
census, pg. 299. Jesse A. DAVIS is on p. 299 and JESSE DAVIS is
on p. 298. The Weakley Co. Tax Book of 1842 for District 5 has
JAMES B. DAVIS, JESSE B. DAVIS, AND MOSES A. DAVIS. MOSES
DAVIS is on every tax role between 1842 to 1850. He may be
earlier but I didn't have earlier roles to examine. Moses was
born about 1821 in NC or KY. His wife was named
ORINDA. They moved to Ellis Co., TX in the 1850's. I feel
there is a good chance that Jesse was Moses's father because of age
and site of homes. All Moses's children were girls so have
no male name to consider. I hope someone can help me. Thank
you. June Hunter

I am trying to find the parents of Annie Fiser (1774-1867). She was
buried at Powell Cemetery on Hunt Road east of Palmersvillle. Family
tradition indicates that her maiden name was Hays. There are 2 other
Hays buried at Powell Cemetery: David Hays (1790-1857) and Samuel Hays
(1791-1875). They may be younger brothers to Annie, but no evidence
found to support this. These families came to Henry and Weakley
Counties ca 1832 from Robertson County, TN. Samuel Hays donated 5 acres
of his land in 1848, which became Hays Chapel Methodist Church. Any
info on the Hays and Hays Chapel Methodist Church will be appreciated.

I am researching my PERKINS family genealogy and have hit a "brick
wall." John M (or W) PERKINS was my great-great grandfather. He died
when he was only 22, a month after my great-grandfather, John W.
PERKINS was born. I found a 1900 census record listing my great-great
Grandfather PERKINS living as a boarder with his future
brother-in-law and John's future wife, Cora JOLLEY. I just found their
marriage record in Weakley County but family legend has it that John
and Cora moved to Kentucky and that's where he died. Future census
records for John W. PERKINS has him listing his father's birthplace as
Kentucky and Tennessee. But the 1900 Census has John PERKINS birthplace
as Arkansas. Does anyone have any information about this person? calvin.betty@myexcel.com

his seven year old daughter MARY E. WILSON. If anyone knows

Jefferson Griffith. I have their record of marriage.

On the 1920 census, she is living in Weakley Co, TN.
On the 1930 census, she is living in Hamtramck, MI.
She died Mar 04 1957 in Fulton, KY.
She is buried at Hatler's Chapel Church of Christ Cemetery on the
Latham-Dresden Hwy.in Weakley County, TN USA. I would like to find her
mother and father, correct siblings. I am unsure of the correct
spelling of the last name, as I have seen it listed as Tuberville,
Turbeville and Tubeville. Shelly Shelly.a.carey@sprint.com

following families, especially any known burial sites/cemeteries or
current family historians... Brundige (or sometimes listed as
Brundridge) - Royster - Trying to find ancestor John Royster who came
to Weakley County apparently with Granderson Morgan & family during
the 1840s. We think members of the Brundige family from AL came
into Weakley County at the same time, perhaps traveling on the same
boat down the TN river. John married Mary Ann Brundige in
1860. We know they all lived in District 4 during the late 1800s
censuses. My guess is the Brundige family and the Brundige
community (near Latham Highway & New Hope Church Rd) are
related?
