JOHN SANDERS family in MADISON CO., Tennessee
Posted by: Kathie Wheeless (ID *****2529) Date: May 08, 2008 at 12:06:17

I am searching for the connections of the two households below. I do believe
in the 1870 Census the household with only H. and D. Saunders is Hamilton and
Docia Saunders/ Sanders. I KNOW they are the second family listed in the 1880 Census
listing next door to John and Eliza Jane Sanders I have written out below.
I am trying to find these families in the 1850 and 1860 Census records.

My questions are ….

I believe the household with J. Saunders to be the parents of H. Saunders in the second
household. Does anyone know if this is true?

Before 1870 were they going by Saunders or Sanders, or both?
1880 and forward I find them in records as Sanders. I know what happened to most of Hamilton and Docia’s household from 1900 forward.

I am searching for the answers to my questions and I am searching for anyone with connections to either household listed.


Jackson Hamilton Sanders and Docia Stricklin married in Haywood Co.,
Tennessee on 4 Aug 1869.

1870 Census – District 7, Madison Co., Tennessee

J. Saunders age 44 b. 1826       TN               
L. Saunders age 40 b. 1830       TN              
J. Saunders age 20 b. 1853       TN              
H. Saunders age 16 b. 1854       TN              
M. Saunders age 14 b. 1856       TN              
A. Saunders age 12 b. 1858       TN              
R. Saunders age 10 b. 1860       TN              
J. Saunders age 8 b. 1862       TN              


In the next household listed on this census we find:

H. Saunders age21 b. 1849       TN              
D. Saunders age 20 b. 1850       TN

I believe the person giving the information to the census taker this year told
them they were all born in Tennessee. I believe Eliza Jane to be listed as Liza and thus the letter L. Saunders for her. I believe Nancy J. to be going by her middle initial J.
