Sharon: Thank you for your reply. I do not have any Elmer Daily Heath in my line that I have uncovered. Nor do i have any Heaths that have migrated to Oregon that I know of. If I find anything or any leads that come up, I will pass them along your way.

What i have confirmed along my dad's line is what i posted in my earlier note or I would offer to share more. Until I can get past the hurdle on who my g-grandfather's father is, I am stuck in the water as to which line to trace.

Re: Richard & James HEATH

wastnaway — 2013-05-16 23:26:21Z

Lynda: I am trying to trace back relatives of Henry S. Heath b. 1833 in Gibson Co. Tenn. Henry married Eliza Jane Campbell in July 1859 in Gibson Co. Henry and Eliza resided in Faulkner Co. Ark in 1882 when my grandfather, Norman H, was born.

Census data link Henry S. to James S. Heath as his father. James was b. 1804 in North Carolina and married Delaney Pate in Aug 1826 in Gibson Co.

And there the trail runs cold. I have multiple sources linking James S to a Richard Heath b. 1774. One source shows Richard having married Ferebe Sharrod in 1886. But he would only have been 12 years old which seems unlikely. I have another source showing Richard having been married to a Dorothy. And another to a Rebecca. Another source lists Richard being born in 1868 and marrying Ferebe Sharrod in 1886. In this case he would have been 18 years old which seems more likely. Each trail has it's own lineage after Richard. But none offer any documentation as to why they list James S as a son and none show any descendants of James S.

Do you have any documentation showing who James S. Heath's parents are as well as any documentation confirming the relationship between Henry S and James S.?

Thanks in advance.

Henry C Lipscomb 1820ish-?

Gen4You — 2013-04-12 22:26:53Z

I'm looking for any information on Henry Lipscomb. He was born appx 1820, and married Sarena West sometime before 1844. They lived in Gibson TN in 1850 and 1860. I believe he was born in Virginia (according to the census). I do not know if he married Sarena in TN or elsewhere. I can't find Henry or Sarena after 1870. I know they had at least 5 children:

Mary b 1844
Thomas Easton b Dec 1845 (my ggg gf) d. 1920
Robert P. - b. 1848 d 1938 (I got Sarena's last name from his death certificate)
William P - b. 1850
Benjamin - b. 1854

Does anyone know anything about this family? Would love to hear from you!

I am related to Martha Gibson, of Seton, Texas, and her brother Tom, she also had a couple of other brothers that were wealthy ranchers near Seton, Texas for many years,
and I understand that the Gibson men along with Jim Bowie
fought at the alamo, in 1836. I am trying to find out if
anyone knew of Martha Gibson or her brothers from Seton, Texas, she was born in 1901, and mostly lived in Corpus
Christi Texas her entire life, my mother is her daughter,
Mary Helen Zepeda, my grandmother Gibson married Domingo
Zepeda way back in 1930, and they had three children, Mary
Joe and Lillian. My grandparents was also a mistress in the
1920 to a Emmett pipkin from Valdosta Georgia, and they had two children, waldene and a son, I do not know his name,
later my grandmother married domingo zepeda of Corpus
Christi Texas, does anyone know the names of the Gibson
men that fought at the Alamo?

Thank you,

Did you find the records in the Gibson Courthouse or somewhere else? I have a lot of kin who moved to Gibson County in the early 19th c. but the Courthouse told me they won't do lookups for love or money.

I've also found a William T Walker married to a Lillian Beatrice Akin - their son Thomas H married into the Greer side of my family.

I also believe there is some relationship with the Hampton line, as one of my great-uncles was William Hampton Mount.

Re: Sanders family search

So glad to find a person interested in the family of Marshall Hale Sanders. His daughter, Ruamah Elizabeth (Sanders) Rodgers, was my great grandmother. I would be happy to share any information I have about her with you. I prefer email - I'm not too good finding queries on ancestry even though I do search it from time to time. My grandmother,one of the daughters of Ruamah Elizabeth's, lived to be 96, and we had many visits about her mother's family. I have heard about Marshall Hale many times and about Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Ruamah married and left home for Missouri before the Civil War. (Hope you are still interested and searching - glad I happened to see your query)Mrs. DDG
