This message is to Dodson Coward. You responded to a message I sent awhile back, but I also sent another asking if you want any additional information on Zachariah Tuten, Sr. (born:1766 or 1768/died: after 1855 or 1860). Since then I have learned that Zachariah Tuten, Sr.'s daughter, Susan had a daughter, Elizabeth Lacy who married a Dodson Coward(born: 1840); are you related to this Dodson Coward? I know he can't be alive at an age of 162 years old, so you can't be him, although his records don't indicate his date of death. I also corresponded via email with a Donna Neal, who apparently is related to Zachariah Tuten, Sr. & his other daughter Susan (Sarah/daughter of Ally Dickson Tuten). Sarah(also called Susan) married Aaron Lewis & they had a son named Zachariah Lewis. Ms. Neal decends from them. This would mean that you might be related to her in that both of you descend from Zachariah & Ally Tuten's two daughters (both called Susan). Do you know her or did you know this? I have been emailing her about Zachariah Tuten, Sr. & my GGG Grandfather, Wiley Tuten, Sr. to correct Zachariah Tuten, Sr.s date of birth (she had it as 1776 & not 1766 or '68). I believe since Zachariah Tuten, Sr. had two wives; had numerous children and an unknown wife (Cherokee), some of the children may have been misplaced in name & I think Wiley Tuten, Sr. may have been his misplaced son. Wiley was a popular name with Zachariah Sr., as he also referred to himself as Wiley, named one son (Wiley, born:1812), who was retarded (son of Ally); he may have also attended my Wiley Tuten, Sr.'s two weddings under the name of Wiley Tuten in 1806 & 1813. There was another Wiley Tuten who attended both weddings & his retarded son, Wiley wasn't even born yet. Wiley Tuten isn't that common name. I am thinking about getting Mable Thornton's Pioneer's of Roane County 1801-1830 or her genealogical reels(12 reels). I have read that Wiley Tuten, Sr. is well documented there. It may have something on Zachariah Tuten, Sr. also. You check it out. I have heard that one might be able to borrow it on an interlibrary loan from Tennessee Library Archives. This I should try myself. You might try to contact Donna Neal & see whether you are related to her (both have great aunts/sisters of Zachariah Tuten, Sr.). -Glenn Pratt
