Family tradition is that her parents have 2 different surnames. Her mother was Dorcus 'Dark' Baker b. 16 Aug 1854, Chestnut Hill, TN, d. 24 Mar 1922, Chestnut Hill, TN. Her father? was William Brownlow Fox b. 22 Oct 1952, Sevier County, TN, d. 1940, TX. Can anyone shed light on the union of William Brownlow Fox and Dorcus 'Dark' Baker? Also, would like to know if anyone has information on William Mc Andrew, b. 1745 whose descendants migrated to Jefferson Co., TN? Again, tradition states that William could have come from Glasgow, Scotland.

Their first child, John, was born 20 Jan.1811. They moved to MO in 1817 with Mary's father, Girrard, and several other Brickeys. Thomas died 1822 in Washington, Co., MO and Mary died in Crawford Co., MO in 1858. Thomas, John and Evan Dobkins received E. TN Land Grants on Dunn's Creek in Sevier Co. in 1810. Evan possibly was Thomas' father; if not, then it very likely was Reuben. I would like to hear from anyone with information about this family.
