  • WALLACE-WALLIS Need any information on Andrew WALLIS/WALLACE. He married Margaret CALBREATH in 1796 in Augusta County, Virginia. Andrew and Margaret were present in Augusta, VA for the settlement of Margaret's father's estate, Thomas Calbreath (also spelled Galbraith), in 1801. Nothing is known of them until the 1830 census where Margaret appears as the head of household in Smith County Tennessee suggesting Andrew was deceased prior to 1830. Andrew and Margaret had a son, who I am descended from, named Thomas M. WALLIS/WALLACE. He was born in 1805 and claims Smith/Macon County, TN. as his place of birth. Thomas M. WALLIS/WALLACE married Jane CALBREATH, his cousin, in ca. 1825.Thomas M. WALLIS/WALLACE appears in census of 1840, 1850, as head of household with Margaret as a member of his household. Possible siblings of Thomas M. WALLIS/WALLACE are David, James,Jefferson, William C.and Sarah. Any information regarding Andrew WALLIS/WALLACE or Andrew W. WALLIS/WALLACE is dearly needed. Will exchange information.

  • BARGER, BULLOCK Hello: I am interested in finding out any information on Allen and Nancy BULLOCK BARGER my gr-gr-grandparents. Allen BARGER was born in Tn. ABT of 1801. Nancy was born in Tn. ABT of 1815. I don't know where either Allen and Nancy were born. In 1829, I found a land grant for 100 acres of land in Morgan Co. Tn. issued to Allen BARGER. I now have a deed for this property out of Morgan Co. Tn. for the 100 acres signed by Governor William Carroll of Tn. It is my belief that Allen and Nancy lived in Bledsoe Co. Tn. before moving to Ripley Co. Missouri in the 1830's. I am interested in who Allen and Nancy's parents are; were there any siblings? When was Allen BARGER and Nancy BULLOCK married? Any information would be appreciated. Carl Barger, Superintendent of the Warren Public Schools, Warren, AR.
