  • Notes 

    • - ** See marriage notes for list of children **

      - death certificate shows widowed but lists spouse name as Lillie Barker?? - did he remarry? - & she died before him?

      - on 1/4/1888 in Weakley Co, TN a Lillie Floyd married a T J Barger -- could this be her?

      - findagrave.com has a T J Barger 8/26/1861 - 5/9/1889 in Weakley Co, TN -- could this be him?
