The 1850 Smith Co TN census had the following children living with other
families. I believe they could be the children of Thomas OVERSTREET and Emily
CARDWELL. I believe the will of John G. CARDWELL (Emily's father) d. 1843,
stated that Emily & Thomas were deceased.
Does anyone know these Overstreets?
Thomas age 23 living with the family of Henry C. VADEN
(Thomas married Martha A. VADEN 9 Nov 1848)
James P. age 19 living with the family of Dandridge A. WHITT
( A James Overstreet married Dicey J. MURRY 15 Sept 1852)
Mary A age 17 living with the family of Jesse ROBINSON
Elizabeth age 16 living with the family of Thomas HINDS
(An Elizabeth Overstreet married Charles ROBINSON on 5 Feb 1851)
Nancy W. age 12 living with Adaline POWELL
(Nancy Overstreet married Jordan/Jourdan WOODARD 24 Dec 1852) **
I wonder if some of these people keeping these children are Cardwell's or
Overstreets? Possibly the wife of Jesse Robinson or Thomas Hinds could be
Cardwells or Overstreets? What about Adaline Powell? Was she a sister or
sister in law? Has anyone researched any of these families?
**Nancy is my line
BTW, there is now a very active Overstreet list for anyone interested.
