TOMERLIN,TOMLIN
Looking for info on the TOMERLIN,TOMLIN family. 1850 census shows Moses TOMLIN lived in Lawerence Co his wife was Prudence they had several children together. 1860 census doesn’t have Prudence but a Jane, Im guessing Prudence died & he remarried. Children included were Angeline, William, Mary, John, Esther, Martha, Nancy & Milton. Milton would be my GG grandfather. Located him in the 1900 Perry Co census last name by then was TOMERLIN, he married a Sarah Elizabeth Mathis and they had 6 children 4th child was my G grandfather William Albert TOMERLIN. If anyone can help with this family I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

FISHER, HAMM, BLASINGAME
My g grandfather, William Dowlin (Dooley) FISHER was in McNairy Co., TN in 1840. I strongly suspect that he was born in Lawrence Co.,TN in 1819 or 1820. The 1820 Lawrence Co. census shows an Anderson FISHER with 3 sons under 10 years old and it lists a William FISHER with a son under 10. One of these could be my g grandfather, William Dowlin FISHER, who married Phoebe Ann HAMM in 1840. In 1850 in Wayne Co., TN there is a 26 yr. old M. M. FISHER & Tallitha- age 19 living on the next farm over from Marion HAMM (William Marion HAMM) & Eliza (Eliza Jane BLASINGAME), who have have sons Pinckney 2 and Buckley 3. The Hamms are related to my g grandmother, Phoebe Ann HAMM, whose father was Thomas Pinckney HAMM. If you have anything at all on the FISHER’s of Lawrence Co. or Wayne Co., Please let me hear from you.
