WINSELL, WINSEL, WINCEL, VINCEL, VINSEL
Hello, I am researching my family history and it has a path that takes it through Carter County. I believe sometime around 1800 Adam Winsell Sr. and Adam Winsell Jr. settled in Carter County. Adam Sr. had been a captain in the revolutionary war. Adam Jr. was a captain in the east Tennessee militia and fought at the battle of Horseshoe Bend in 1814 under Colonel Allison. Adam Jr. moved to Indiana after the war but I believe that Adam Sr. stayed in Carter County for the remainder of his days. I am looking for birth, death, marriage, census, land, or court records. I would appreciate any help you could offer. (There are variations of our surname Winsell, Winsel, Wincel, Vincel, Vencil etc.)
Thanks in advance for your help, Jeff Winsell

PAXTON, BOWERS, BUCK, NAVE, WILSON, COOK
I am trying to find out who Joseph Paxton’s ancestors were. He lived at Carter County, TN in the 1830’s where he met and married Lavisa Bowers daughter of Valentine Bowers and Abigail Buck. At the same time Joseph was in Carter County their was a Thomas Paxton who was bn abt 1800 who married Mary Wilson daughter of Garland Wilson and Mary Polly Cook. Mary Wilson’s sister Sarah married Abraham Nave one of Lavisa Bower’s cousins. Also on Thomas and Mary’s marriage bond it has Joseph Paxton listed as a granter. I believe these 2 Paxton’s might be brother’s and would like to make a connection with anyone that would be able to connect these 2 or has information on who Joseph’s parents were.
