Surnames: Lax, Compton, Farmer, Keatts
I'm looking for information about the parents and siblings of Tabitha A. Lax. She was born on 16 Nov, between 1828 and 1832, possibly in Halifax County, Virginia or Hardeman County, Tennessee. She married David Reuben Compton on 10 Aug 1853 in Hardeman County, Tennessee. She died 24 Jun 1879 in Woodruff County, Arkansas. The couple had 6 children, but only 3 survived into adulthood, David Lafayette, Edward and Nancy. As far as I can determine, only Edward has living descendants.

There may be a relationship between Tabitha Lax and the family of William Farmer (1782-1854) and Tabitha Keatts, who originated in Halifax County, Virginia and moved to Hardeman County, Tennessee. She may also be related to the Benjamin F. Lax who joined Co. E of the 32nd Arkansas Infantry (Confederate) at the same time as her husband D.R. Compton.

Any clues would be appreciated.
