CUNNINGHAM, MCWHORTER
Looking for descedants of CUNNINGHAMS who lived in Bedford Co. in the early 1800’s. In 1808, JAMES CUNNINGHAM (son of HUMPHREY CUNNINGHAM) died in Anderson Co,TN, leaving widow JANE McWHORTER and several children. Jane and her brothers HANCE McWHORTER AND MOSES McWHORTER moved to the Bedford/Rutherford area–I believe to live near Cunningham relatives. Jane and her son HANCE CUNNINGHAM purchased land in Bedford in 1812. Later, in 1820, Jane and family moved to Lawrence Co,Ala to live near her son Hance who was the first sheriff of Lawrence Co. I believe some Cunninghams, other children of Humphrey Cunningham, remained in Bedford Co.

CROWELL
I’m trying to locate information on my paternal grandmother, who married Wm. Frank CROWELL, originally from the Wheel community between Shelbyville and Lewisburg, TN. Her name was Elizabeth, and was supposedly halfblood Cherokee, although this connection wasn’t discussed much by either her nor my grandfather while they were alive. Her appearance, however, was very Native American in character and this would tend to support that assertion. Both died recently in the mid 1990s, also in Bedford Co., although they lived for approximately 40 years previously in Nashville. In particular, I’m trying to locate Elizabeth Crowell’s maiden name, which should give me some further pointers that may lead directly back to a Cherokee ancestor.

His son George William (b. 1825 Bedford Co.) consistently used “YELL” as a middle name for his two sons later in the middle 1800s. Hope William C.

DESHIELDS, DASHIELL, AUSTIN, MCBRIDE, WAMACK
About 1838-1840, WILLIAM DeSHIELDS and MARY ELIZABETH McBRIDE DeSHIELDS left Beach Grove, Tennessee headed for Oregon. It is known he had two brothers who may have left with him or followed soon after. They are HANDY DeSHIELDS and JOHN DeSHIELDS. It is believed there may have been a DANIEL DeSHIELDS and his family and FRANCES ELIZABETH DeSHIELDS who was unmarried. These last two have not been proven. Williams son, Jasper was born in Beach Grove, Tn in 1838. The family appeared on the Marion County, Arkansas census in 1840. I am unsure Beech Grove is in Bedford County. If anyone has any information on how to research these names in Tennessee, please let me know. In the 1840 census in Arkansas the name was spelled DASHELL. HANDY DeSHIELDS married NANCY WAMACK who is believed to be daughter of David WAMACK. DAVID was said to be full blood Indian and possibly a guide for the army. I would greatly appreciate any information anyone can give. Thank you.

Jane and her brothers HANCE McWHORTER AND MOSES McWHORTER moved to the Bedford/Rutherford area–I believe to live near Cunningham relatives. Jane and her son HANCE CUNNINGHAM purchased land in Bedford in 1812. Later, in 1820, Jane and family moved to Lawrence Co,Ala to live near her son Hance who was the first sheriff of Lawrence Co.

CROWELL
I’m trying to locate information on my paternal grandmother, who married Wm. Frank CROWELL, originally from the Wheel community between Shelbyville and Lewisburg, TN. Her name was Elizabeth, and was supposedly halfblood Cherokee, although this connection wasn’t discussed much by either her nor my grandfather while they were alive. Her appearance, however, was very Native American in character and this would tend to support that assertion. Both died recently in the mid 1990s, also in Bedford Co., although they lived for approximately 40 years previously in Nashville. In particular, I’m trying to locate Elizabeth Crowell’s maiden name, which should give me some further pointers that may lead directly back to a Cherokee ancestor.

DESHIELDS, DASHIELL, AUSTIN, MCBRIDE, WAMACK
About 1838-1840, WILLIAM DeSHIELDS and MARY ELIZABETH McBRIDE DeSHIELDS left Beach Grove, Tennessee headed for Oregon. It is known he had two brothers who may have left with him or followed soon after. They are HANDY DeSHIELDS and JOHN DeSHIELDS. It is believed there may have been a DANIEL DeSHIELDS and his family and FRANCES ELIZABETH DeSHIELDS who was unmarried. These last two have not been proven. Williams son, Jasper was born in Beach Grove, Tn in 1838. The family appeared on the Marion County, Arkansas census in 1840. I am unsure Beech Grove is in Bedford County. If anyone has any information on how to research these names in Tennessee, please let me know. In the 1840 census in Arkansas the name was spelled DASHELL. HANDY DeSHIELDS married NANCY WAMACK who is believed to be daughter of David WAMACK. DAVID was said to be full blood Indian and possibly a guide for the army. I would greatly appreciate any information anyone can give. Thank you.
