The location is Fentress County, Tennessee & environs unless otherwise noted.
I am doing some genealogical research for a friend of mine. I'd like to correspond with any descendant of Elendor (Eleanor) SMITH (1846-1895). Elendor married 1st a BEATY and 2nd a STEPHENS, as follows.
SMITH, Elendor (Eleanor) (1846-1895)
Elendor was a daughter of David SMITH (1818-1863) & Frances "Fannie" COBB (1822-1892). Frances "Fannie" COBB's parents were Jesse COBB (1790 1864) & Jenetta Jurunella STEPHENS (b 1797). David SMITH's parents were Richard SMITH (1789-1855) & Elendor MEANS (1789-1860).

Elendor's 1st marriage was to:
James Marion BEATY (James M.) (1842-1876).
James M. BEATY was a son of David "Tinker Dave" BEATY (1817-1876) & Ava "Avy" COLLIER (1820 1883).

Ava Frances BEATY (born 1867)
John Kilpatrick BEATY (born 1869)
David BEATY (born 1871)
Verna BEATY (born 1874-1876) ********
....Possible other versions of the name "Verna":

....Laverna, Laverne?
John Kilpatrick BEATY (born 1869) married Sirena HOGUE (1873-1906) ca. 1890. Kids of this marriage were Oscar BEATY (born 1891), Omer J. BEATY (born 1893), Oakley May BEATY (born 1895; married Elbert CLARK) & Ollie BEATY (born 1897).

Charlotte's sister Elizabeth BEATY (1825-1915) married Andrew STEPHENS' brother Burton STEPHENS (1824-1901). Andrew's & Burton's parents were Zorababel STEPHENS (ca 1785 ca 1844) & Susannah HAYES (1791-1884).

I am trying to discover what happened to this VERNA BEATY after the 1880 Federal Census. We are wondering if the Verna BEATY (born 1874-1876) mentioned above is my friend's great-grandmother. WHAT BECAME OF THE ABOVE-MENTIONED VERNA BEATY?
Did she marry William Jackson BOWDEN (1873-1945) ca June 1891 Fentress County, have two sons Linzie BOWDEN born March 1893 Fentress County, and Lonzo (Lonzie; Alonzo; John) BOWDEN born Feb 1895 Fentress County, then move to Texas ca 1896, and ultimately settle down in Texas where the rest of their kids were born?
Please email your reply. Thanks.
