SMITH - JOHN CHARLES SMITH - TILDON SMITH - DAVE SMITH I am researching the Smith family! TILDON C (probably Charles) (sometimes spelled TILTON) was born 1875 in Hamilton Co, TN according to his death certificate. The obituary shows Father: CHARLES SMITH. A Bible records says JOHN CHARLES SMITH. - I know that TILDON had a brother DAVID l born 1878 om Jasper, Marion Co, TN. However, the 1900 Census in Tarrant Co, TX shows him born in 1882. There was a younger half-brother TOMMY. One would think with this info, I could find them in Tennessee in 1880. By 1900 the boys were in Texas. A grandson says he remembers his grandfather catching the train in Chattanooga and coming to visit his family when the grandson was about 10 years old. The family Bible says JOHN CHARLES SMITH died 1912 in Chattanooga, Tn.
I CANNOT FIND THIS FAMILY IN TENNESSEE in 1880! Maybe listed as JOHN SMITH - CHARLES SMITH - JOHN CHARLES SMITH - but would have a son TILDON C SMITH. Please help.

Trying to help a friend, Maria, locate her mother DOROTHY MAI RAPER who lived in the Chattanooga, Tennessee area in 1947. Dorothy was born in May 1930. She married Charles W. Morrell in Georgia in 1946. She had a daughter, Maria, who was born in Tennessee. The family moved to Texas, where two other children were born..a son Rodney and another daughter Karen. Dorothy and Charles divorced in 1952. Karen was adopted by a family named Tidwell from Oklahoma. Maria has not seen, nor heard from her mother since she was 5 years old. Dorothy may have married a man named Rose after her divorce from Charles. Her last known whereabouts was in the area of Sheppard AFB in the state of Texas. Maria has been helping her children compile their family tree and she would like very much to locate her mother and sister Karen. She has no knowledge of her mother's place of birth, or who her maternal grandparents were. Perhaps there are family members still in the Chattanooga area who might be able to help Maria in her search. If anyone has any helpful information they can send email to jhibbert@adams.net

I am researching Louisa HAWKINS (one source says Hankins)and her husband Jno. M. PETERSON. Family stories say the children James Robert Augustus (Gus), Edward Columbus, Florie, Will, and Jeff grew up playing on the Chattanoga battlefield. Is there anyone out there with connections to these two people. Two different census' list her birthplace as Tennessee, but his as Georgia. Perhaps a state line romance.
