Hello Cousins.
I belong to the Maury Co Tn list and as you may know this is where Samuel
I[1784-1856] and Sara Brown [1785-1851] , Their four sons and one of two
daughters ended up.
I believe that Samuel is the only one of Zachariah's[Samuel Witten, John
Sessel,William Sessel-Cecil] children who went to Tennessee--most stayed in
Ohio or Indiana.
A wonderful Lady on the list sent me a few pages of a book which I am now
going to buy. It lists everyone buried in Maury County, TN and surrounding
area. From the few pages she sent I located resting places for MANY of my
husband's people--Including Samuel and Sara themselves.-- in the Cecil
Family Cemetery.
The families are William Ingraham and Elizabeth Ribble Cecil
John Wilkerson and Sarah Ann Butler Cecil
James Harvey [our line] and Julia Ingraham Cecil
Nancy Brown Cecil [ first wife of Samuel Finley
Cecil- her first cousin.Only HER Grave
located TN.]
Shelby White and Mary Bratton[Brown?] Cecil
If one of these is yours and you need info about a burial [DOB-DOD]
please let me know. If I don't have it now I hope to soon.
The other Child I have for Sam and Sara is Mary Havens Cecil , b. 1819 no
other info. Does anyone know anything of her?
Of course the ones I couldn't find were Sam'l Shelby and Mary Cross Cecil ,
parents of my father in law-- although three of their infant children are
there. I am hoping they are with Mary's parents in the Cross Cemetery.
Hope I can be of help to some cousins with this.
Warmest regards, Steph Powell Cecil
