MABRY, SNEED
I am looking for some of my Great-Grandfathers family his name was Lonnie C. MABRY Sr. We had family reunions at a shelter by a Methodist church in Leoma, TN. You went back past a apple orchard and the church was on the left with the cemetery and the MABRY shelter was on the right. The SNEED and MABRY families would gather there for a family reunion every year. I think some of the SNEED family was from Alabama.

SMART, WEBB
I am looking for the family of William and Betsey WEBB. In 1850, Betsey was staying with Alfred SMART and William was staying with Richard SMART both in Campbell County, Kentcuky. Their place of birth is listed as Tennessee. Both Richard’s wife Martha (b abt 1824) and Alfred’s wife Nancy (b abt 1825) were born in Tennessee as well. I am sure there is a connection between the WEBBs and these SMARTs, but I cannot find them. William went on to marry Isabella SMART June 18, 1851 in Campbell County, KY. I am unsure of where in Tennessee these people come from. Can anyone help me?

POUNDERS/DUNKLE
Alfred POUNDERS and Susan DUNKLE were married in Giles County, TN on Jan 9, 1868. They are listed on the 1870 census for Lawrence County, 8th Civil District with four month old daughter, Martha. My grandmother, Elizabeth Mae, “Lizzie” was born and Susanna died sometime between 1871 and 1880. (It is unknown if both events happened at the same time.) The 1880 census shows Alfred “Alf” in Colbert County, Alabama with a new wife. I can find no record of Susanna’s death or my grandmother’s birth. Any information at all would be greatly appreciated.

CABLER
My husband is descended from James Boyd CABLER born in 1832 location unknown and died in 1906 in Lauderdale County, AL. He married twice – once to Sarah E. Kellam in 1858 and to Sarah E. Forsyth – 1863 – both times in Maury County, TN. He also enlisted in Maury County. I believe him to be descended from the Columbia Cabler Family, perhaps from one of the lesser-known children, as I have remained unable trace him to his parents. I also believe that these two wives may have been the same person. Perhaps she remarried briefly during the war, believing him to be dead.?? He had a son by one of these women named John Morgan Cabler. He later brought John Morgan with him to Lauderdale County. Any info would be appreciated.
