From Jim Shults's Files: "Nothing can be said with any certainty about this family. Even the name of the husband is open to debate, some claim HENRY, others JOHN. There's also no agreement on their descendants, or where the family went, as they disappeared from the census records after 1840. Henry/John was probably the son of Layton Romines who came to Sevier County from Pennsylvania and raised a LARGE family."
Death: Anderson Co, TN, Black Cemetery, near Bull Run Steam Plant
