Deeds Book B, p 266, states Henry LONG sells to William MORROW 13 Sep 1826 for $1000 100 acres at Mullens Cove, north bank of Tennessee River. William MORROW married Rachel STOVER in Clay County, KY in 1818. Also have reference to a couple of William MORROW's children being born in Marion County . . . Lydia, b. 1825, Burnett, Marion County, TN; James W., b. 3 Oct 1824, Burnett, Marion County, KY. Is there or has there ever been a Burnett, TN or should it be Bennett?

I am looking for information on EAVES around Jasper, Tn from abt. 1930's until now. John Rich Eaves is believed to have the sheriff there at one time. His wife's name was Florence. John EAVES and his son Leon may have run a store in Jasper in the 1950's and 60's. All the aforementioned people are deceased, but, I am trying to verify info on them and find Leon EAVES' daughter, Margaret Elizabeth EAVES, may be her name and she would probably be her 50's now. I don't have any idea about her married last name. John Rich EAVES was my Grandmother's brother and I would like very much to find his Granddaughter. Randy Winbush, 546 E. College, Jackson, Tn 38301
