Barnwell; McConnell
Two brothers, William and Joshua McCONNELL settled in Broomtown
Valley in the 1830's, William on the Chattooga County side, Joshua
on the Walker County side. They had a sister who married a chap named
BARNWELL and probably lived in the same area. Can anyone tell me
her name and identify her husband?

Haynes; Moore; Parks
I am trying to locate a marriage record for my g-g-grandparents, John (Jonathan) HAYNES and Ann PARKS. Ann was first married to Samuel MOORE on 15 Jun 1826 in Roane County, TN. They seperated in Jun 1827, had no children, and divorce was final 22 Sep 1835.
Ann went to live with Jonathan HAYNES after leaving S. MOORE. John and Ann were the parents of Jackson, (b. 1829); Patrick, (b. 1831); Seraphina, (b. 1833, my g-grandmother); John, (b. 1836); and Virgil, (b. 1845). The 1850 Walker County census lists Ann still living with John HAYNES along with children Patrick, John and Virgil. The 1850 census for Roane County, TN show Jackson (21) and Seraphina (17) living with their grandparents, George and Elizabeth PARKS.
