as a wagon maker in 1850. He may have died before 1870 since I

BARGER,BULLOCK
- Hello: I am interested in finding out about my
gr-gr-grandparents, Allen BARGER and Nancy BULLOCK BARGER. I
believe they once lived in Putnam Co. Allen was born ABT 1801
in Tennessee. Where, I don't know. Nancy BULLOCK was born ABT
1815 in TN. Where, I don't know. In 1829, I found a land grant
issued to Allen BARGER for 100 acres of land in Morgan Co. Tn.
I have a deed to that 100 acres of property in Morgan Co. Tn.
but I can't find who Allen sold the property to before moving
to Missouri in the late 1830's. I have information about Allen
and Nancy BULLOCK BARGER from 1840 on but need information
prior to 1840. The information I need is who was Allen and
Nancy's Parents? When were Allen and Nancy married? I'm
thinking somewhere between 1830-35. Were there siblings on each
side of the family? Allen and Nancy were found in the 1840
Ripley Co. Missouri Federal Census. They had two children in
1840: Henry, age 5 born in Tn. and Martha Jane BARGER born in
Tn. All four say they were born in Tn. Any
