BAUMGARNER (BAUMGARTNER), BROWN

I have found where a George BAUMGARNER was enumerated in Giles Co, TN in the 1820 census. He had 4 males less than 10 years old, 1 maile 20-45, 2 females 10-16, 1 female 16-26, and 1 female 26-45. Would anyone have any connections or info to share on this family.

I did not find any other BAUMGARNERs in the later census. I am seeking the parents and siblings of a Nancy W. BAUMGARTNER born 1810 in VA. She married a Richard BROWN somewhere in TN before 1828. I have only been able to located this BAUMGARNER and one other BAUMGARTER, both named George in TN during the time from 1800-1840. I did find a Richard BROWN living in Giles Co in 1830 but not sure if this is the one I am looking for. There was no female child enumberated and there should have been Susan who was born in 1829. There were two older people in the household.

Richard and Nancy were gone from TN by 1838. They had a son in MS in 1838. Any info and or leads will be greatly appreicated. This is a brick wall I would love to knock dow

WILSFORD

Looking for info on WALKER and ELIZABETH S. ARTHUR WILSFORD. On the 1860 census of Giles County they are listed as having two children, JAMES A. 3 yrs old and GENERAL 5 mos old. There were 4 other children born after this. They were JOSHUA MORRIS, GRANVILLE, SALLY ANN, and MARY LAURA. The last that was heard of WALKER and ELIZABETH were the Tax Records of 1877. After that there is no record of WALKER and ELIZABETH. All of the kids were married by then except for SALLY ANN and MARY LAURA. SALLY and MARY LAURA were sent to TEXAS as orphans to live with two seperate families. Sally with the CRUMPS, and Mary Laura with the POWELLS. Sally Ann and Mary Laura both later married and raised large families. What happened to Walker and Elizabeth? Also I find no record of a GENERAL WILSFORD anywhere. What happened to him? Mary Laura remembered having a brother named General but she didn't know what happened to him. Can anyone shed some light on this family?
