Margery A. GARRISON said in an affidavit in 1851 that she was married
in February 1830 by Justice of the Peace Frank DANCY but she did say
where. As the minor boy she married was born and raised in Giles Co.
and they had their 1st child in Tn. before moving to Marshall Co.,
Ala. in 1836, I assume the marriage occurred in Giles County.
I would like to know if Frank DANCY was a J.P. in Giles County in
1830 and if so, where in Giles County? Thank you. Melton E. Durant

They were slaves on the plantation of Andrew BALLENTINE in Pulaski,

and Lucinda had at least five children before his death: Cage, born
in 1846, Jackson, Rhoda, Jane, and Calvin. The 1870 Giles County
census shows Lucinda and the younger children listed above living in

ENDSLEY, James K., wife Elizabeth. They had around 14 children. I
would like to find out any information I can. My Grandmother, Lessie
Mae (Endsley) Bland was the youngest. I know my Grandmother
witnessed the murder of her father. Her father was a farmer. I
"think" the maiden name of her mother was Brown. Her name may have
been Mary Elizabeth or Lucinda instead of Mary. Anyone that could
help me I would appreciate it.
