AILOR, WOOD -
Solomon Wood was born in either Virginia or Tennessee (his census responses over the years alternate) on 22 August 1823. He married Minerva AILOR 1 June 1850 in Maynardville, Knox County, Tennessee. They lived in Union County, Tennessee (the part of Knox County where Maynardville was became Union County) and had nine children. No one has been able to find who Solomon's parents and any siblings were. Any help would be appreciated. Glad to share info that I have on descendants.

ADAMS, PULLEN -
Edward S. Pullen (ggrandfather) b. 1839 in Trenton, NJ, died 1891 in South Seaville, NJ. His death certificate states his parents were Job Pullen and Susan Adams. I have searched NJ census, city directories, etc. I can find no records on Job or Susan. I found a Job Pullen in a Virginia census that would have been the age to be Job's grandson. So I am trying Virginia to see if this family originates there. I have no dates other than Edward's birth date. I also don't know if he had any siblings. Any information on this family line would be greatly appreciated.

Looking for any information on the GARDEN family, especially those decended from Rev. James GARDEN who was assigned as minister, Church of England, about 1754 in Va. He married Sara Wimbish and he died in 1773. I believe he was from Scotland but cannot find any proof of birth, parents, etc. One of his sons, John Garden maried Catherine T. Scott in 1796. One of their sons was Dr. Thomas J. Garden (1795-1856) married Robina Scott (1801-1877). Thomas and Robina's son Thomas J. Garden (1830-1902?) married Bettie Venable and produced my gr.father, Charles A. Garden (1873-1966) who married Lucy Hix (1871-1911). I have a fairly complete line handed down but with little hard proof.

BOTTOM, BOTTOMS, ROBERTSON -
We do not know where they were living, but assume it was in Virginia when ancestors Thomas BOTTOM and Betsy ROBERTSON were married in Halifax County, Virginia on 23 Apr 1800 or 1801 (date depending on source). I so not know anything about the ancestry of Thomas but have at least the name of Betsy's father -- Henry ROBERTSON. I would appreciate any clues that might help identify Betsy, Henry and his family, etc. If you might have any other connections between a ROBEERTSON and a BOTTOM or BOTTOMS in your research, I would also appreciate learning about that.
