Joseph Shropshire

[gretapisces]

I'm needing informtion on Joseph Shropshire b.1866. I was wondering if there is a census in Grainger County, TN or Hawkins County, TN that would list him or his parents? His father was James Shropshire and James' wife was Clara or Mary Clara.

Hello greta,

I take it that you don't have an Ancestry subscription? I have found a Joseph with father James and mother Clara in Hawkins TN 1870 US census ---


though I can't see this on Familysearch.. but I have found 1880 on familysearch will post that below this link:

Hello Darksecretz. The ancestry link you gave me didn't work. Those other links helped. I'm trying to find info about Kezia Shropshire. She was in Grainger County, TN census and I think she was born in 1802. I'm trying to figure out who her husband was.

In one of the censuses it lists Kezia Shropshire as living next door to James Shropshire (Joseph's father). I thought she could be a relative of some sort to him.

I have just checked the census in 1860 Kezia is next door to James & Clara it is possible that Kezia could be James' mother.

I've Been trying to search for Kezia Shropshire but I have no leads. From the census that lists her as next door, I would say she was born in 1802.
