BOTTS, HUTCHISON

My ancestor, Nancy A. BOTTS married Isaac W. HUTCHISON in Dekalb County in 1852. Nancy's parents were Walter and Prudence BOTTS, most likely born in NC around 1800. "Ike" and Nancy lived out their lives in Sumner County, but, as far as I know, Nancy and Walter continued to live in Dekalb County, or they may have moved West.
If anyone has information on the BOTTS family, I would be extremely grateful and glad to share what little I have.

KEEFE,KEAF,KEATH,KEEF,NOKES,NOAKES, KNOX

Seeking information on John Franklin Keefe and Martha Jane Nokes. They would have been born aroun 1850 in Tennessee. They appeared in the 1880 census of Dekalb Co Tennessee. Their children were Robert Wade Keefe and Susie Keefe. Robert Wade Keefe is my great grand father. I have not been able to find who John Franklin Keefe or Martha Nokes' parents are because I really haven't found any other record of them. There was a Jonas and Sobrina Nokes who had a daughter Martha but the age is a off by about 5 years (although they had a son James who appears to live next door to John Franklin Keefe and Martha Nokes in the 1880 census). Also there was a John and Nancy Keef (keath) in earlier censuses who had a son John (who possibly could be John Franklin Keefe) but again the age is wrong. However, they all lived in DeKalb County TN. Any help would be appreciated.
