HALEY
Altemira Haley was living as a farm servant for John Harrison in 1870. She had her son Monroe Haley age 5 with her. The 1860 cen shows her living with a son James, age 3 and daughter Martha 10/12. According to census records her birth is given as 1834. What I need is her husband's name, and her maiden name. Monroe was the father of George Haley of Haley Nursery. The 1860 and 1870 census has several Haley families in Warren County at the time The data on Altemira Haley comes from DeKalb County. I can use some help on this one.

I need info on Nancy? Wolf's maiden name. I know her family was Scotch and her mother's name may have been Annis. It is a rare Scotch name and it runs through my family line. So if there is anyone who has a woman ancestor name Annis who resided on the North Fork of the Holston near the Sullivan- Hawkins Cty line and Scott/Washington Cty, Va around 1790-1820, please contact me. I am running out of clues as to who Nancy ? WOLF'S was. Her daughter Annis Wolf Faulkner was born in Scott Cty, Va in 1806. The Wolf family moved to Warren Cty, Tenn around 1817 according to Wolf V Wolfe.
