Ross, Still, Surgoins, Ward, Cassell, Campbell, Clark, Rogers, Presley
Any information of the Mark Ross or John Still families. They came to Hawkins ca 1830 by way of Russell Co VA. John Still and his wife Juda divorced ca 1854 and he married Ollie Surgoins and Juda married Thomas Ward. Mark Ross had three sons, Benjamin, Thomas T and George J. All I know of George is that he was on the 1850 Census. A girl was on the 1840 who may have been a sister.

Patsy (Martha) Cassell married John Campbell and Sarah Cassell married Lewis Clark. They were in Hawkins County after the Civil War. Do you have any information on these families?

Lilburn Still of Hawkins Co married ca 1854 Cynthia (Rogers?) from Hancock County. They moved first to Barry Co MO and then to Benton Co MO. John and Elizabeth Presley may have gone with them. Any Still information appreciated. Thanks.
