WEBB, SMITH

I am researching John WEBB (b. abt 1825 in Ireland? or TN?) and Louvica SMITH (b. abt 1829 in Jackson Co, Tn?) m. abt. 1839 or 1840. Their 1st child was born in 1840. They had 12 children the last of which was b. 1858. The family is found in the 1850 census for Smith Co but I believe that Smith was formed from Jackson Co. Later the whole family shows up in Iron Co, Mo in 1870 census, minus John Webb. What happened to him?Did he die or did he go back to Ireland? any info appreciated.

CANTRELL, FRY, FRYE

Hello, I am Dr. Richard Cantrell and I was raised in Albany, Georgia. I was born in 1954 and my father was James Howard Cantrell. He was born in March 1915 or 1916, probably in Tennessee, his father was Marion CANTRELL. He supposedly was married to a Cherokee Indian, last name FRYE or FRY. As both grandparents passed on prior to my birth and my father spoke little of them except of his Indian heritage, I have little to go on. I know that my Grandparents were married in Tennessee probably at the turn of the century give or take ten years but I don't know the county or anything like that and I know that the Cantrell's came to Tennessee from Georgia or South Carolina. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

WILLIAMS

I am looking for John Mitchell WILLIAMS born about 1838 in Jackson Co., TN. His father was Thomas S. WILLIAMS born about 1820 in Monmouth Co., Wales. I am also trying to find the identification of his mother. He moved to Newton Co., MO. where he married Sarah Elizabeth MARTIN Oct. 20, 1859 and served in the civil war. He died there Dec.22, 1868. They had only one child, John Mitchell WILLIAMS jr. born Feb. 1, 1868.
