or it will not be posted. What is your connection with Williamson County or
with connecting counties?
- Enter your query exactly as you want it to appear.
- Please put all SURNAMES in CAPS. It is easier to see them. Use full
names, not just surnames.
- Include dates that you know. Approximate dates are fine. Names without
dates are not very useful, and may not be posted.
- To get a better response and coverage to queries posted here, all queries
are also posted to the Williamson County Mailing List (TNWILLIA). If you

Note: Query pages within the TNGenWeb project are for those researchers
requesting or offering assistance in tracing their lineage. The TNGenWeb
volunteers are dedicated to providing this FREE online Internet genealogical
Web Site for the general public. It is NOT the policy of TNGenWeb to charge
you.
It has come to our attention that some folks, when answering a query, have
been asking to be paid for research. We do recognize that it would be fair to
be asked to be reimbursed for postage and photocopy costs. However, charging
research fees for information pertaining to the original query would be
questionable at best.
If anyone is asked to pay for any information, other than to cover the cost of
postage and copying, please let the State
Coordinator know.

My GGGParents were John Wesley Taylor and Letitia Givens of
Williamson County, TN. m. 1837. JW's parentage has yet to be
determined(though searches have continued for over 25 years.)
However, it has recently been strongly suggested that he was
descended from James P. Taylor of Carter County. JW was born in
1819. If anyone can add to this query, it would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks.

I am looking for info about the STEELE family who lived in Williamson
Co. about 1800-20. There probably were 4 sons: James, Moses, James,
& William plus maybe Mary and Martha. They probably migrated to
southern Mississippi (Vicksburg & Marion County) in late 1820's. One
of the sons (who a stroke about 1820) may be the father of Rev.
Elijah STEELE, (b. 1814 in Williamson) a well-loved Methodist
Episcopal minister in southern Mississippi until his death
in New Orleans (1841). Did one of the four brothers have a daughter
Minerva, born in Mississippi about 1818?
This has been a brick wall for a dozen or more years.
Thanks for any guidance or assistance.

I am trying to find any kind of information on Ellen HOLT who married
S. J. A. WELLS in Dickson County on December 24, 1859 and Martha
Elizabeth HOLT who married Aaron JAMES about 1850. No marriage
record can be found for HOLT & JAMES. They resided in Dickson Co.
from 1850 until their deaths. I have found nothing on HOLT & WELLS
other than their marriage. I believe these two to be sisters, the
daughters of William N. Holt and Martha RIDLEY from Hickman Co.
William and Martha married in Williamson Co. in 1821. Anything is
