SHORT
I am seeking information on the William T. (Thomas?) Short family which relocated from Monroe County, Georgia, to Madison County, Tennessee, between 1830 and 1840. William T. Short died after 1852. His wife, Parthana Harding Short, died between 1840 and 1850. Both are presumed to be buried somewhere in Madison County. Their children were Howell, Thomas H., Paulina A., Phoebe R., William E., Labon and John H. I believe that my gg grandfather, John Hudson Short, born 2/21/1837 in Monroe County, Georgia is the John H. Short Listed above. I think that he went to live with relatives in Talledega County, Alabama, after his father died. Relatives recall a visit by John's brother Ed (William E. ?) around 1910. The relationship between my gg grandfather and his parents and family is the thinnest link in my genealogical line. Any assistance/information on the William T. Short family/descendents would be greatly appreciated.

SULLIVAN, BLACK
John Sullivan was born in TN in abt. 1837-38. I found him in 1859 in an AR marriage record in 1860 in the Independence Co., AR census. He listed TN as his place of birth. There were many other Sullivans with him in the 1860 census in AR - all in the same township: H.W., P.B., Daniel M., and William. I traced H.W. and P.B. to Madison Co., TN in 1850 and William and Daniel M. to Carroll Co, TN in 1850. H.W. and P.B. are heads of household. William is a head of household. Daniel was 13 and living with his mother and step father: Sarah Black and Samuel Black. I found a John Sullivan, 14 (age is off a little) living in home of Jeremiah and Ann Fuller, Step-father and mother in Madison Co. 1850. I need to find someone that knows some of these families in Carroll and Madison Counties. I need to know if I have found my grandfather John Sullivan. Please contact: Frank Sullivan, Jr., P.O.
