Surnames in Obion County History Volumes I & II — 9 Comments

  1. I am trying to find more information on my father’s family. My father was born in Lincoln County, TN but they move to West Tennessee a few years after his birth. How do I access the Obion County History Volumes I?

    • The Obion County Public Library has these books. I also have a copy, and if you will let me know which name/names you are searching, I’ll see what I can find out.

      • I am not the first person you corresponded with but my family also came from Obion County. My great grandfather was Marion Campbell Owens and his wife was Deller Smith, daughter of James Claiborn (Clabe) Smith. Any info on them would be appreciated.

        • I am the grandson of Deller Smith’s brother J.C. Smith and have lots of information about the Smith family. Please feel free to contact me!

          • I had forgotten about posting on the Obion County site and see that you have lots of family history. I would love to know what all information you have about the Smith family. I wonder if you know anything about Clabe’s parents; about their time in Maury County, about when the family actually moved to Tennessee. I am trying to put together an Owens family history and include the information about their wive’s families. Anything you can provide I would love to have.

      • Hello,
        I’m looking for the write up on the surname McKinnis that is in Obion County History, vol. II.

        Thank you,

      • Would you mind doing a look-up? I am looking for information for Mary Parr Birth 1765 • Virginia,
        Death APR 1834 • Obion, Obion, Tennessee. The Obion County court records show that
        Mary herself died intestate in 1834, with William Parr appointed
        administrator in April 1834 with John Parr (Jr.) his security. Obion
        County records also include powers of attorney to William Parr by
        Miles D. Abernathy and his wife Susannah, and by Uty Sherrill and his
        wife Mary, all of Lincoln County, North Carolina, to sell their share of
        Mary Parr’s land. I am trying to find that record.

  2. I am looking for information that might be found in Surnames in Obion County History both Vol. I & II. Anything about George Dickey or his son Andrew Jackson Dickey. Where might I find these volumes other than in Obion?
