Here is a comment Buck wrote.. Since a lot of people do not read the comments I thought it would be a good idea to post it.
J D Epps husband of Lois Kent is Joseph Daniel Epps son of James Craton Epps Jr. He was born 30 Nov. 1891. His mother was Adlade Fox Epps also called Addie. She was the second wife of James Craton Epps Jr. Dovie is Hepsey Jane Epps daughter of James Craton Epps Jr. and Hepsey Prosser. Bettie is Elizabeth Epps another daughter of James Craton Epps Jr. and his first wife Hepsey Prosser.
The W. C. Epps is a son of Hugh M Epps named William C Epps. The C probably is either Cole his mothers maiden name or Craton his grandmothers maiden name. Mary J Epps in the Simms – Land Cemetery above is the first wife of Lawrence Franklin Epps who is the son of Hugh M Epps. Mary Jane’s maiden name was Mason. She died before before Dec 1876 and is the daughter of Solomon Mason. Lawrence F Epps later married Luticia Francis Cotner. -

The son of Hugh Montgomery Epps should be John G Epps not John J. The G most likely stands for the maiden name of his grandmother Nancy Graves. The G also might stand for Gilbert one of his uncles. I have his death as 8 Feb 1863 in Union Army hospital at Nashville. The following also shows his initial to be G.J. G. Epps – 8th Inf Reg. Tenn. CSA, Co. D, Rank in Ordnance Sergeant – Rank Out Ordnance; Mustered in 18 May 61. Elected Ord. Sgt. at reorganization, 8 May 62; wounded at Murfreesboro, TN., 31 Dec. 62; In Hospital, died 8 Feb. 63.John Epps enlisted on the same day into the same company as his cousin John Norris Epps. He was fatally wounded at the battle of Stones River. John Norris was also wounded but recovered quickly and John Norris brother Lawrence was severly wounded and captured. Lawrence ultimately wound up in a Union prison camp in Maryland before he was exchanged. He did very little fighting after this due to his long term problem with the wound. He eventually was with Gen. Hood on his retreat in the winter from Atlanta back to Nashville. John G. is mentioned by his aunt Margaret Jane in the depositions you sent to me about the law suit.Hugh M C had another child named Lucy on the 1850 LCT census age 8 which would put her born between 1841 and 1842. That is all the information I have on this girl.Lawrence F Epps second marriage was to Luticia Francis Cotner in Marshall Co. Tn. They married 21 Ec 1876. His first marriage was to Mary Jane Mason 11 Nov. 1866 in Lincoln Co. Mary Jane has been incorrectly linked to my great grandfather Lawrence who has a birth day very close to this first cousin but he never married Mary Jane Mason.Margaret J is Margaret Jane Epps.Children of Lawrence EppsJames Craton Eppsb 16 Sep 1808 Tenn. Wilson or Lincoln?d. 16 May 1884 near Petersburg, Lincoln Co., Tenn.m. bef. Sep 1835 Nancy Ann Norris Lincoln Co. Tenn.James Craton who married Jenny Womack in Wilson Co. Dec. 30, 1808. This has to be a brother of Elizabeth Craton who married Lawrence Epps in Wilson Co.on 26 Jan 1807. It almost certain that this James Craton is the brother of Lawrence’s wife.Mary A Prewitt is not the daughter Pleasant Epps. She is the daughter of Mahala and James Prewitt. Mary married on date you give to B F HankinsWilliam Epps grandson of Lawrence is the son of Pleasant. He married Francis Richardson on the date you give. He died before 1870Hepsey Eppsb. bet.

The name James Craton has come down through many generations but with the spelling Creighton instead of Craton.
