Hi. Thanks !!! I know that my dads moms family are Jesse Mathis and 1st wife was Susannah H. Gillum. His 2nd wife was Mary Murphy. Jesse had a son "little Jerry" that died in 1827(at age 3). He was 1st to be buried in Palestine Cemetery, in or around Paris, TN. I am not sure if it is considered Henry County, but the daughter( Martha Mathis) of Jesse Mathis and Mary Murphy married a man named Harim E. Owen on Dec. 29, 1892!!! I have a copy to prove this. I also have a copy of an old Nashville Tn. paper , that has a article on her being the daughter of War of 1812 hero. It has photo of her and Mr. Harim Owen. Ihope you can find out if we have a connection!!! I am really stuck finding out the names , dates, etc... of my grandmothers family!!! Thanks for any help!!! Take Care!!!
