Need help in researching James Pinckney WALLER who is living in the
household of Calaway YORK in Polk Co, Tn in 1870. James is listed as
19 yrs old and was born in NC. Living there also is a Mary WALLER,
also 19 yrs old. I think this to be a sister. I am certain this to
be my ggfather, but can't go back any further. Also, don't know the
connection with YORK. James married Minerva HUGHES in 1875 in Tenn.

I am searching for any records regarding my great, grandparents,
William HUGHES and Ellen Josephine RYMER, who were married in Polk
County, TN, possibly in Sweet Water or Reliance. My grandmother,
Artie Belle HUGHES, was born May 15, 1882 in Sweet Water. So, I am
assuming that William and Ellen were married in 1880/81. Ellen's
mother and father were Winnie Jane RYMER and William RYMERr, Jr. Her
grandfathers were William RYMER, Sr and King David RYMER. I do not
know the names of her grandmothers.
For William Hughes I am seeking: parents, siblings, marriage and
death info - divorce dates if applicable - and any other available
information.
For Ellen Josephine Rymer: her grandmothers and background on them
and her grandfathers.
I am interested in the relationship of the grandfathers who were both
RYMERS.
Any tidbit is appreciated!
