I am descended from Leonard Carden who married Tabitha Peace, b. circa 1793, died circa 1847, Tn., Leonard was born in Va. , died in Tn. their children were:
ADELINA, b. ?, mar. Pat Peak
POLY
JOHN, b. abt. 1803, mar. ELIZABETH GROGAN
REUBEN, b. abt. 1808, S.C., mar. RACHEL ? ( my line)
MALINDA J., b. 7-14-1815, mar. ? Case
LARKIN, b. 8-4-1816

AMOS, b. 1825
CATHERINE, b. abt. 1835, MAR. CALLOWAY CLOWERS
JAMES, b. abt. 1840
ANDREW, b. abt. 1845
it's said that Amos was named after his grandfather. i have found the Peace name spelled several different ways.
Spartanburg S.C. deed bk. K. pg. 226, dated Aug. 26, 1805, AMOS SPEACE, to Edmond Cooley (same) ; for $ 600 , sold 500 acres, on both sides of S & N Pacolate.

i feel that the Peace families i've found in Tn. records are somehow related to Tabitha, maybe cousins. any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
