TRAIL

Looking for any information on Anson TRAIL, son of Edward N. TRAIL & Sarah (Lassiter), of Blue Springs, DeKalb Co., TN. All I have is that he was 31 at the time of the 1910 census. I have a photograph with the imprint "Anson Trail, McMinnville, TEnnessee" on the front and I'm trying to locate any of his family members that might know when he was in business as a photographer. I'm desperately trying to date a photograph! Thanks in advance.

WRIGHT-COPE-FOUST

A Cope researcher says Josephine Cope died 1902. He claims she was the Josie Wright that married H.D. Foust. If this is the correct one then she died in Sept. 1896. Could the Josie Wright that married H.D. Foust have been Eugenia Josephine Wright b. 1854 d/o O.B.Wright.

The fact that Robert V. Wright came all the way from Nashville to Alexandria to this funeral make me wonder if Mrs. Foust was more kin then the ex-wife of a nephew. He would have more likely came for his neices funeral?

THE LIBERTY HERALD, DeKalb Co., TN, September 11, 1895 H.D. Foust, Sr. and Miss Josie Wright were married at Smithville Sunday.

THE LIBERTY HERALD, Alexandria, DeKalb Co., TN, Sept. 2, 1896 The many friends of Mrs. H.D. Foust, Sr. will be pained to learn of her death last week. She was sick only a few days and her death unexpected.

Capt. R.V. Wright came up last week to attend the funeral of Mrs. Foust.

FLETCHER,FOSTER

I am trying to find a Moses Fletcher who was on the 1840 census and again on the 1850 census. He married Elizabeth Foster about 1832. Some researchers have Gibson Co. as place of marriage but since Fletcher was in the DeKalb Co. census after marriage and Elizabeth's family was in Smith Co. TN, it does not make sense. I have not been able to find ANY relatives of Moses past himself. Would love to have ANY leads. Thanks
