If anyone is searching these fellows drop me a line, my gg-grandma was Mary Elizabeth Dockery , she was the sister of James Marion JR. I have been all over New Madrid MO to find them and I am heading to Maury and Hickman TN in 2 weeks to try and find where Balaam Dockery is buried. There are 2 Balaam's which has made allot of confusion, now I am documented to the above Balaam thru John J.I need to find exactly who his parents are, I always thought it was Willam and Elizabeth Gibson Dockery. BUT they were NC and my Balaam was SC. .
IF anyone can help WRITE ME PLEASE
