Genealogy Today
As a fifth generation descendant of Jerry Sanders (Abt 1830) I am primarily researching information on the Sanders of Tipton County, Tennessee. The earliest record of Jerry Sanders is listed on a court ordered "Division of Property" document dated January 1857. Upon the death of Col. Daniel R. Whitley the court appointed a commission to partition and divide the estate between his ten heirs. Jerry and his wife Emily Webb are listed in this document along with their three children Jerry (Jr.), Jane and Richmond. And so the search for Jerry's descendents and ancestors begins.
Jerry was a slave on the Whitley estate then known as the "Rose Bud Plantation". His family grew to include Pitman, Louisa, Samuel, John, Dolly, Sarah, James, Mary and Ada. Only two of the twelve children are fully documented. So if you have any leads on the other ten children drop me a line
My research includes the following family names Macklin, Hunt, Malone, McFerren, Mingo, Alston, Banks, Boyd, Edwin Adams, Emily Joyner, Warren, Wright and the Cunningham's (Will & Walter).
Robert Macklin, Sr. Feb 14, 1928 - March 25, 2007
