The 1850 Polk Co TN census had this family listed: Sarah Samples,
62, head of the house, Calvin bc 1827, Celia bc 1830, Telitha bc
1832 and Levi bc 1833. We do not know what relation that Sarah was
to the siblings nor do we know who their parents were. Calvin m.
Sarah Jane Carver and lived in Monroe Co TN, Celia m. David Cross and
they lived in Polk CO TN until after the 1860 census when I think
they moved to Cherokee Co NC. Telitha m. Joshua Franklin Cole and
resided in Polk CO TN until after 1870 census, Levi m. Elizabeth
Prince and remained in Polk CO TN. DO YOU HAVE ANY DATA on this

Searching for information on Pryor Lee DAVIS(1850-1898),his wife Mary
JENKINS DAVIS(1855-1919), his father Benjamin DAVIS(1814-1891), and his mother
Susie(or Susan) BRADFORD DAVIS(1818-1896). Have identified Ben and I believe
Pryor in 1880 census. It says Ben and Susan born in No. Carolina which conflicts
with my oral history. Anyone have anything which will help? Ben's, Susan's or
Mary's parents' names would be helpful. Thanks.

In 1860 Martha E. WALLACE age 20, married Robert W. Thompson, in Cherokee
Co. North Carolina. They are listed on 1860 census, Hiawasi Mines, Polk Co., TN.
The story goes that her father, a Cherokee, was killed by the soldiers because
he refused to leave his land when Martha was 12 years old. She had a older
brother/uncle named Jesse WALLACE. I would love to find some conformation to
this story, plus parents names. Martha died when her granson was six. This story
came from him 60 years later.
