TN to TX: Maury Co. query, the Case family
Hello all,
I am tracing relatives who were in Maury County, (Middle)TN in the early 1870s and before.
Here are the names:
John Stimpson Case m. Zarita Ann Dawson Smith
1. Lucius Virgile Case b. 2 Jun 1871 in Hampshire, Maury Co.TN
2. Rosville Stimpson Case b. 28 Jan 1873 in Pulaski, Maury Co. TN
3. Eolia Erlene Case (m. James A. Barker), b. 1 Apr. 1875. I have incomplete records on which county she was born in, only that she was born in TN.
I am looking in particular for information on John Stimpson Case's birth information. He would have been born sometime 1830-1850. I am trying to trace his parents, and to do that I need to confirm whether he was born in TN, KY, or NC. I am also looking for migration information - when the family left TN for the TX panhandle. This definitely happened in Lucius'generation, possibly by himself or more likely with his parents. Family lore has it that Mr. J.S. Case disappeared on a trip back to TN to settle a land parcel deal, and never returned home. Descendants of Lucius relocated in Hall, Armstrong, and Jones counties of Texas.
Anyone with info that strongly connects with what I have laid down here are encouraged to email me.
Kind regards,
Wendy Case
