EMMERT, GRIMES
I am looking for the final rest places of JACOB SIDNEY EMMERT and M.C. (possibly Mary Catherine) GRIMES. They were married March 18, 1884 Lawrenceburg, Lawrence Co., TN. and are possibly buried in the Mose Belew Cemetery off Long Branch Road. I have been to this cemetery, but their graves (if there) are not marked. Any help with this search will be greatly appreciated! I hope to locate their graves and mark them with a (proper) gravestone. Anyone with information PLEASE contact me!!!

HIRAM CRAFT, LARA VIDA CRAFT, CARL LEON CRAFT
I’m trying to gather some information on my grandparents and my father. My grandfather’s name was Hiram CRAFT I’m not sure if he was a Tennessee native or not. My grandmother’s name Lara Vida CRAFT. I’m not too sure if that is her correct name. Everyone called her Vida when I was little. She was an Alabama native I do believe, but I’m almost certain that she and my grandfather married in Tennessee. Possibily in Iron City, or somewhere in Lawrence county. My father Carl Leon CRAFT was born Nov. 29, 1949 in Iron City. Then between childhood and his teenage years moved with his parents, and brothers & sisters to Noblesville, Indiana. If anyone can give me ANY infortmation it would be greatly appreciated. Or, if anyone can tell me where to even begin with this quest that would be appreciated to. Thank You,
Sherry

LONG
LONG I am looking for a LONG family that resided in TN between 1833-1844 as this is the time that thier first children were born. The children; Elizabeth b:1833; James b:1835; Reuben b:1837; Polly b:1839; Catherine b:1841; Solomon b:1844. The mother is listed as an Alsy S. (spelling maybe different) and she is born in TN between @1816 according to her age on the 1850 census. She married an Edward Long b: @ 1810 and he is listed as being born in Alabama. The family should be listed on the 1840 TN census, but I have been unable to find them. I believe that the family may have left TN for KY or TX in 1844 as I find them in Texas in 1850. Thanks for any help Erny
