Yes, those counties in TN are familiar from my research, as well. I just can't make the definite connections between the families, as in probates, births, marriages, etc. Unfortunately, the early Liberty Church records are lost. I know that there was a Pankey in Gallatin/Saline in 1820 which may have drawn the others to the locale, but have not found the connection to Williford family and now also seeking Pearson family.
