Hi, Margaret,
I grew up in Knoxville, Tn.And my sister, Virginia Overton, married Jesse Lamar Porter, who is from the
line of Malilda Finchum, daughter of James Madison Finchum and Mary Anderson and sister of your Alexander.I am so excited to learn that you may have the Bible of Cora Anna Mae .Does she have anything about Matilda?
I know that she had 3 children.Anna S.,Maryand Jesse Samuel Williams.From the Social Security application of Jesse I know that Matilda married a Samuel Williams. For the same sourcethe application says that Jesse’s mother was “ Dollie”Finchum.I don’t think that Jesse ever lived with his mother. For that reason perhaps he didn’t know her real name. For information taken from Rootsweb that Matildamarried anunnamed Allen after SamuelWilliams.
By the way my sister, Virginia, age 89, still lives in Knoxville.If you would give me your telephone I’m sue she would love to talk to you.
Something I found on the first wife of James Madison Finchum.I feel sure she was the sister of Mary Anderson.
