Welcome!
Looking for information on William S. Compton, he is in 1840 census
of Warren County Tn. Probably the son of Matthew Compton also in
Warren County at the same time. The William I am searching for
married Sally Mills before 1844, this could be his first or second
marriage as we have not found a marriage record.

I am looking for information on a poorhouse in 1935-1940. My great
grandmother Nancy Caroline PETTY MAYO was sent there to die by her
family when she became very ill. The children, Benny & Louella,
lived in McMinnville and walked out to the poorhouse to visit their
mother. I am trying to pinpoint the date of death for my great
grandmother so I can send for a death certificate.

Andrew James and wife Luanna (Lorianna) Stanley we both to have come
from central TN. Their birth dates are c. 1819. They married in TN
arount 184l where John T. Randolph was born. From TN they moved to
Illinois where Aaron H. was born in 1848. In 1849, in Decatur Iowa
Mary E. was born. In 1855 Stanley was born. They moved to Wright
County, Mo. where my g-grandmother Sarah Frances was born in May of
1864 about nine months prior to her father's untimely death by
Confederate "bushwhackers".
I am looking for evidence that they were indeed from Warren County
and nformation on their next of kin "parents". As the TN counties
were not established prior to the mid-1830's, I wonder if their might
be church records to verify their living there. Also, I have been
