Greene Co TN to KS and kept moving...
I hope that migration is not to cryptic...trying to get it on one line..
This is not my direct line, but I wanted to post in case it helps someone else.Many of my grandmother's siblings and half siblings migrated from the Baileyton area of Greene County, Tennessee to Jewell and Smith Counties in Kansas, and Red Cloud (Webster Co) Nebraska. (Smith Center KS, Esbon KS, and Red Cloud NE are in a very small radius). It looks like this family finally ended up in Arkansas.
I can't attest to accuracy, but this is one WEEMS family who migrated:
