The Flowers of Gibson
County TN
Following is a list of descendants
through the third generation of my
earliest Flowers ancestor in Gibson County, Tenn. He located there with
his wife and children in March of 1833. If his wife's age as listed on
the 1850 census is correct, she is not the mother of all his children; but I
have not ascertained a date for their marriage, or the exact dates of all
of the children. Nor is the list of his grandchildren complete. The
chart is quite lengthy, as he had 13 known children.
