Heathington Family
I'll join you Jerry. Would love to hear from anyone who is related to William Franklin and Henry Edward Heathington. I am researching this family along with their connection to the Seals and Cunningham families of Dickson County, TN. It is believed that William and Henry are the son's of John and Nancy Seals Heathington of Dickson County, and the grandson's of Peter and Mary Evans Seals. Would also like to get in touch with the Cunningham family that William's wife, Margaret J. Cunningham was part of. The Cunningham family moved to Eastland County, Texas sometime in the late l800's. Wm. Franklin was born in l851 and Henry in l863. Henry met and married Eliza Jane Smith of Humphreys County, TN. and moved to Arkansas,Texas, and finally Arizona. William and Margaret moved to Duster in Eastland County, Texas, raised a family and spent the rest of their lives there.The Heathington boys and their parent's spent most of their young lives sailing on a Riverboat that took goods up and down the Mississippi from Memphis to New Orleans.
