BURNS, BELL, BURLISON I’m trying to locate information on the family of TJ Burns and Lizzie Burns. They appear in the 1900 Lewis County census. He is shown as being 27 and she is 19. There is a child who is 7. Thus it would appear TJ Burns may have been married previously. I’m trying to determine the maiden name of Lizzie Burns. I believe this indivdual to be my great aunt, Sarah Lizzie Bell, but have no documentation to prove that connection. Sarah Lizzie Bell was licensed to marry a Dossey Burlison in 1898. However, that marriage apparently did not take place, since she was (by family story) forbidden to marry Mr. Burlison by her father, William Joseph Bell, and brother, James Minor Bell. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nancy and Frank had 9 children: Ellen F., Sarah E., William B., Mary L., Susan A., Alexander Franklin, George Henry, Parthenia, and James Thomas. Frank is somewhat of a mystery. We are not sure if Frank is short for Franklin or it could be a middle name that he went by. He was born in 1834 and died in 1900. He and his family moved from TN to AL to Lamar County, Texas. I have been told that Frank served in the Civil War towards the end of the war and had been captured and was a POW. Anyone with any information, PLEASE email me.

McADAMS In Overton or Stewart or ??? counties of Tennessee in the 1810-1820 time period, we suspect there were three generations of the same McAdams line – John McAdams I (no data), John McAdams II(born in Ireland in 1779, emigrated to America in 1783, married Martha Rodgers in S. Carolina in 1808), and John McAdams III, born 1815 in Maury co. Tennessee to John II and Martha Rodgers. Children of John II and Martha Rodgers (Rogers)by 1815 were James (b1805), Elizabeth (b1806), Mary (b1808), Joseph (b1811), Nancy (b1811), and John III (b1815 Maury co.). John II was a lay preacher in the area during this period 1810-1820 (family tradition). John II moved his family to Alabama in the early 1820’s and then on to Texas in the early 1830’s. The family has been in Walker co. Texas for the last 160 years. We have no confirmation of John I or John II in Tennessee during this time period despite his children’s later affirmation of this fact. According to family tradition he was a lay preacher in the Republican Methodist c

JOHNSTON Looking for data on Henry Logan JOHNSTON, said to have been born in Illinois circa 1879. I have a photo of him and 2 of his children taken in Howenwald on a farm around 1920–should be a family visit. Have nothing else connecting him to Lewis County, just hoping to discover a link that can be substantiated.
