My great great grandparents John W. FLETCHER (b NC 1812) and Candis G SMITH (b North or South Carolina ca 1814) were married in Warren County 27 March 1844 (from County records). This is virtually all I know about them before their appearance in McMinn County, TN census, 1850. It's possible that he was married before his marriage to Candis--there is a Warren County record of a marriage between John FLETCHER and Elizabeth TUCKER in 1830. Don't know if this is my John Fletcher, however it seems possible because several of John Fletcher's children were born well before marriage to Candis. Fletcher
children:
John H Fletcher, b 1836;
Lewis D. Fletcher, b 1839;
Mary Paline Fletcher, b 1839;
Albert Fletcher, b 1841;
Willmia Ann Fletcher, b 1844;
Elizabeth Fletcher, b 1845;
Neal Fletcher, b 1848;
Wilton Owen Fletcher, b 1848; all born NC;
and Patrick Fletcher, b 1852 in TN.
Late 1850s the family moved on to Wright County, Missouri, where descendants remain.
Is anyone researching a Fletcher family in Warren County or nearby?
