Henry L. Tucker, born VA abt. 1796. Wife Elizabeth born VA abt. 1816. Mary abt. 1865, Isaah abt. 1842, Angeline
abt.1844, Harriet abt. 1848. There is a Grandville (Granville) born abt. 1837. Does anyone have any info. on this
Grandville or Granville or if you can tie him to the Morris Family in Sumner Co., TN. A Granville Tucker married
my GGMother in Sumner Co., TN in 9/9/1855. Supposedly he was from VA. This Henry L. and Elizabeth were from VA
but I don't know if this is possibly my Granville or not. My GGM appears on the 1870 & 80 census with children
in Sumner Co., TN, but no trace of him. Are there any descendents of this family out there? Will be willing to
share info.

my Page family ancestors were farmers in Cobb, Taylor and Spencer hollows. Barnabas' farm was in Cobb and Taylor
Hollow. Barnabas' son Andrew inherited land at the bottom of Spencer Hollow, possibly on both sides of Indian Creek
at the mouth of Camp Branch. Andrew's son Stephen Alexander had a farm in Spencer Hollow between Andrew's and Barnabas'
farms. There are no roads to these areas. They are on private property. The closest I have come is a dead-end road
on the right off Dale Ridge Road (traveling north). I don't know the name of this road but is in the area of Chapman
Hollow Road. There is a private road leading down the hollow to Barnabas' and Alex's farms. This road used to lead
to Indian Creek, Hick's and Cave Springs' communities. I have a good friend and distant relative who has farmed
these hollows and has helped me with the geography of Indian Creek. I would like to correspond with related Page
families who have information about this area. I would love to share info.
