Grandmother Walker's Maternal Roots

In the 1860 U.S. Census of Overton County, Tennessee I found, living in one home, my 2 year old Great-Great Grandmother. Living in the same house was her 25 year old mother, my Great-Great-Great Grandmother. Also enumerated living in the same house was my Great- Great-Great-Great Grandmother. Now if that is not enough a 4th generation also lived in the same home and was the head of the house on the 1860 census. That person was my 90 year old Great-Great-Great-Great-Great Grandfather who was born in 1768.


If you would care to see it goto: 1860 United States Federal Census, Tennessee, Overton, District 3, family number 1174, pages number 104 & 105.. I should note that the name Penticost has been incorrectly interpreted as Renticost. Looking at the original document one can see why that occurred.
