Hi, I am working on my wife's family and her name is Trudy Toney and her great grandmother was Lucy Bess Eakes. The were from Statesville, Wilson County, Tennessee. We have not been able to find anything on Lucy Bess but she was first married to a A J Thompson. If I find anything in my search I will let you know. My wife's sister how lives in Nashville is going to Norene, Tennessee to see what info she can find. Will stay in touch.
