I would to receive any info. available on my great-grandfather, Lilliston Adams Pardue. He was born in N.C. in 1818 and moved to Monroe County, Tn. with his first wife, Harriet Welsh. They had a very large family before Harriet died and he then married my great-grandmother Plinah Johnson. They also had a number of children of whom was my grandmother Joanna Pardue. She had a twin sister Etta and I also heard mentioned a brother named Fred. I think Plinah died in Atlanta, Ga. in 1914 but don't know when Lilliston died. I really would like to find info. on Plinah. I don't know her place of birth, parents or exact date of birth but heard that she was born in Ga. and may have been married once before marrying Lilliston. They apparently took in an Indian child or perhaps more.
