I am looking for info on the John Vaden with wife Safronia in the 1860 Franklin Co. census.

Any one know this family, have any info on them?

In 1870 they were in Colbert Co. census. I have an idea they didn't move, it was cause Colbert Co. was created between the 1860 & 1870 census. Then where they lived in Franklin Co., became Colbert Co.

By 1880 Mary (Safronia or Safrona) was in Lauderdale Co., Tennessee with the children, but John is no longer in the household. 1900 Safrona is living in Haywood Co., Tennessee with Thomas J. Vaden and family. Census say Safrona is a cousin to Thomas. She is a widow, married 12 years.

I am not sure if I have found Thomas in past census. Says he was born in Alabama. Can't find a Vaden Family in Alabama that works out to be Thomas' family. If he was a cousin to Safronia, would have had to been a cousin by marriage, I would thing, maybe? So Thomas would be a son of a brother to John's dad.

Would appreciate any info on this family.

Thank you, Cathy

John and Safronia(Mary) were my grandfather's mother and father. Thomas Falls was my grandfather. I believe that John's father and brothers left Al. and moved to Tenn. at some time after John and Safronia settled there.

Do you know who John's siblings or parents were?

Thank you, Cathy

There are quite a few Vadens in an area called Ripley, TN. Which is Lauderdale Coo. TN. My grandfather on my father's side married a Vaden. His name was Robert James Gilliam. Check the cemetary records of that area.

Already have checked all I can find.
