I found on the internet that Enoch SR died 1853 and that Jr was born 1842
(no death date). I do not have access to the Warren County Cemetery books
so this is all I have.

John Fisher Jr. married Elizabeth Cooksey, who is probably another daughter
of Enoch and Grace. My Fishers were in Rutherford County, NC, then Abbeville
County, S.C. (where Nicholas died 1795), then that part of Smith County
which became Warren about 1807. Some of them were also in that part of Smith
which was taken in by the new county of DeKalb in 1836. So they were
actually in all three counties near Temperence Hall/Laurel Hill/Wolf Creek
area.

I think there were some Tubbs in Smith County as well, as one of the
Gregstons married a Tubb. George W. and Katie Duncan's daughters Nancy and
Martha married two sons of John Fisher III and Alcey Reynolds. There is a
"Gragson" cemetery in Smith County where some of these folks are buried.

I'd love to have more info on the Cooksey's and the Tubbs myself! Old
Nicholas Fisher presumably married Elizabeth Tubb, but I don't think it's
proven - just circumstantial evidence that points in that direction, I'm
told.

The below information was supplied online on the Warren
County, TN mailing list March 13, 2003 by a descendant,
Bill Orton (Wilton Faulkner Orton, Jr.) Chattanooga, TN -
email - : (Bill Orton)

"Lewis Faulkner enlisted 7 September 1862 as a private in Company G,
First Middle Tennessee Cavalry (Union), later transferred to the Fifth
Tennessee Cavalry and was promoted 17 October 1862 to sergeant.
He was captured 31 December 1862 at Mufreesboro, Tennessee and
was confined to Libby Prison at Richmond, Virginia. He was paroled 26
January 1863 and reported to Camp Chase, Ohio prior to 10 April 1863.
He was sent to the Army of the Cumberland 2 June 1863 and was
commissioned a second lieutenant 26 February 1864. He resigned
16 July 1865 to become circuit court clerk of Warren County, Tennessee.

Before the Civil War, Lewis was interested with his brother Asa in the
Woodman cotton mill. Charity Cooksey Faulkner recalled in later years that,
when the war began, it was agreed that the mill would be closed until Lewis
returned. However, Asa received a large contract and reopened the mill.
When federal troops came through and found the mill in operation, they
burned it.

After the war, Lewis became deputy assessor of internal revenue, railroad
commissioner and a member of the state legislature.

About 1877, he moved his family to Dobyville, Texas, where he bought a farm
near his sister Sarah Adeline, who had moved there in 1854-55. He moved
later
to
Burnet, (Burnet County), Texas and operated a furniture store and a butcher
business."
