looking for any information on my grandparents and greatgrand parents

John Greathouse married Myrtle Green in or around 1936 and they had three boys and one girl,,,Andy, Anthony and Lloyd Greathouse who all lived in Calhoun County till they died. Anna Cross lives in Alliance, Oh. We have been told that after John and Myrtle got divorced that he moved to Webster Springs, Wv. I have tryed everything trying to get info on him and anything anyone could give me would be appricated.

Archibald Greathouse was born ca 1805 in Georgia. Parentage is unknown at this time. By 1830 he was in McNairy Co. TN. Only two Greathouses listed on census in 1830 in TN. John Greathouse in Hardeman Co. TN could have been Archibald's brother. Any help appreciated.

John Greathouse, b 1795 Shenandoah, VA; died 4 Nov 1839 in Hardeman Co, TN. He married Rebecca Williams on 28 Dec 1817 in Franklin Co TN. She was the daughter of Bolivar Paul Williams and Lucy Donohoe. Archibald Donohoe Greathouse born 1828 in TN was their son (one of 7 children). He died in Texas; was married to Sarah Jackson on 3 Nov 1853 in Sevier Co (Howard) AR.

Some say Abraham was the father of this John. This John connects to Georgia. Any positive link to parents of John Greathouse, b. 1795 TN would be appreciated.
