Charles Welsey Damron b. 4-11–1841-Dresden-Weakley Co. TN.
Elizabeth Dorkus Bass b. 1846-Martin -Weakley Co Tn.
which one of the children do you descend from?
Charles/Charley was married several times but doesn’t appear to have been in Illinois.
There is a different Charles W. Damron, b. in Tenn, who was in Illinois in 1880.

dates are always “about” .
Probably m’d about 1865-66.
I didn’t find any of this immediate family in Illinois but there is a Charles Damron in Johnson Co., Ill, b.Tenn, who looks like Samuel Damron’s brother Charles or maybe his cousin Charles.

Margaret “Peggy” (Vowell) Lunsly/Lansden, was William Vowell’s granddaughter.
Most of these families came out of northcentral NC, via SW Va.

He joined the U.S. 9th Ky Infantry.
I think he died in the war and am trying to confirm that.
