HINKLE, BALTIS

Does anyone have information regarding Baltis HINKLE (misspelled Battis here and in many other places--crossing the "t" extends slightly into the "l")? He is listed in the 1850 Wayne County census as a laboror in the home of A.M. Craven (of Craven's/Martin's Mills). The listed age (21) differs slightly from my ggrandfather Baltis, who would have been 25/26. Perhaps the age of 21 is incorrect. I haven't located another Baltis in any 1850 census; however, my ggrandfather does show up in the Hardin County 1860 census with the correct age.

HINKLE, JONATHAN OR JESSE

The 1830 Census, Wayne County, lists three HINKLE/HINKEL names. William and Jonathan believed to be brothers. Jesse believed to be their father (ages fit, and all three have connections to Chester County SC). Does anyone know what happened to Jesse? Jesse was age 60-70 in census. Did he die in the County, or move? Jonathan shows up in 1850 census, Hardin County; William stayed in Wayne County. Would like to get copy of wills, deeds, death certificates (for Jesse and William)if anyone knows of their existence; or, any information about the HINKLE famlies in Wayne County.

HENSON- HUFFINE-SAVAGE

I'm looking for any clues that pertain to these families... William J. Savage married Martha Henson (have all that info) I'm wanting to know more about her family. In the 1900 Wayne Co. census the next house from the Savage was a Henson Household, in it was a widow man, four daughters a single sister-in-law and her son... The sister-in-laws son's name has come up many times in this family so I know that Martha was related to these Henson, she also falls in with the girls in that households age group.. The family that I'm getting this info from kept bringing up a Charlie Huffine, they was calling him Uncle but if I figure correctly he was a cousin to Martha Henson-Savage, one of Martha's sons eventually lived with this "Uncle" Charlie, but he wasn't really a uncle but a cousin.. If any of these people sounds familiar to anybody PLEASE, PLEASE contact me...... Thanks so much... Mary Somers Savage

WEST

My GG grandfather and my GGG grandfather, I believe may have been at Dickson or Overton county TN. Although I cannot prove this, there is a James in the 1820 Overton Co. TN Census and a James and Jacob West listed in the 1830 Census Records. Both the 1820 and 1830 Census Records Match the age of my James West, and the 1830 Wayne Co. TN Census Records as well. If I am correct, based on Census Records, I can narrow my James West to either Overton or Dickson Co. in 1820 and Wayne Co. in 1830 before his moved into MS by 1850. I apologize for my request being somewhat vague, but I would be so grateful if someone out there has access and could do a lookup for me for any of the following information. A Marriage Record for any James West that may have occurred in the this county or nearby county. Also, if someone has information of any kind for a Jacob WEST (Or any WEST surname) in this county.
