I am descended from Nancy Malinda Margaret Ricker (DOB 3/18/1852 in Greene County, TN; DOD 1/6/1919 in Greene County, TN) who married Elbert Sevier Lamb in Limestone Springs, Greene County, TN.
I'm descended this way:
John Ricker married Mary Delila Lyles
Susan(nah) Ricker
Nancy Malinda Margaret Ricker married Elbert Sevier Lamb
John Edward Lamb married Noda Vesta Miller
Geneval Margaret Lamb married Wilford William Reese (my maternal grandparents)
Nancy Malinda Margaret Ricker's mother was Susan(nah) Ricker (DOB 5/1/1831 in Greene County, TN; DOD 6/1/1916 in Greene County, TN) who married Edward Nolen later.The family gossip that I've heard is that Susan(nah) was raped by an Indian and she had Nancy Malinda Margaret Ricker as a result.Here is some of the stuff I've found on them.
