DeKalb County, Tennessee Queries
Second Quarter, 2003
I'm still searching for Granville Tucker. In 1850 DeKalb Census he
was listed as Grandville 13 years old but that is believed to be an
error and is really Granville. That would put his DOB about 1837. He
was Son of Henry L. & Elizabeth Tucker. He has not been found in
DeKalb Co. Census since. In 9/9/1855 a Granville Tucker married Mary
Ann Morris in Sumner Co., TN. He does not appear in any Sumner Co.
Census either. Does anyone out there have ties to Henry L. &
Elizabeth Tucker or does anyone have any information on this family
other than what is shown on the 1850 Census? Granville may have been
the one who later entered Biffles Cavalry in Bowling Green, Warren
Co., KY in 09/27/1861. The age factor is very similar. Can anyone
please help? Willing to share what I have if we can make a tie.

Just a thought-no proof:
William Wright b. Abt. 1801 in North Carolina, died October 05,
1865, Dekalb Co., TN. He married (1) UNKNOWN Bef. 1825. She was
born Bet. 1800 - 1810, died Bet. 1840 - 1849. He married (2) MARY
(POLLY) NEAL Lawrence August 28, 1849 in Wilson County, Tennessee,
daughter of PALLAS NEAL and SARAH. She was born Abt. 1798 in
Kentucky, and died Abt. September 15, 1873 in Dekalb County,
Tennessee.
William named his 1st known son Oren Bethel Wright. O.B. Wright
was b. October 16, 1825, Smith-Dekalb County, Tennessee; d. February
18, 1905, Dekalb County, Tennessee.
I am trying to figure out who the first wife of William Wright was.
There was a family in DeKalb County named Bethel. Does anyone
researching the Bethel family have a missing daughter born between
1800-1810. Maybe O.B. Wright was named after the Bethel family? I
est. the marriage would have been about 1823-1824.

I am searching for a family that claims TN and AL heritage. John
Henry Wood shows his birthplace as AL (1834) His father Jefferson T
Wood (b 1811) m. Susanna(sp?) Carpenter and was supposedly born in
KY. Only after Jefferson's death did John H. tell census takers his
parents were born in TN. They settled in Pike Cnty. AR about 1840
(per census) in an area they called "Caney Fork". Since this
family's movements seem to correspond with Indian Cessions I am
assuming someone was Native American but I don't know who and I can't
find any of them prior to their move to AR between 1834 and 1840!
HELP! Many of their descendants are buried in a family cemetary near
a former town called Shawmut. I have photos of tombstones with
dates. Other surnames found in this old burial place are: Haynes,
Sparks, & Carpenter. Is anyone researching a family that had a
member (Jefferson T) born in 1811 who disappeared or moved to AL?
Yes, I am desperate.
