    figuring all possibilities,for the following reasons I believe she is the
    daughter of Isaac Eoff and Margaret Knox.#1-Her son Married a Carolyn Knox who
    is a cousin of Cynthia,according to Nanny Jackson.Cynthia's mother would have
    to be a Knox for this to happen.#2-Isaac is buried in Coffee co.TN,which
    borders Rutherford co.on the southeast.#3-Isaac was married in 1783,Cynthia was
    born 1783.#4-Isaac lived in KY before He lived in TN.TN was KY before it split
    off.Phillip Prater married Cynthia in Puluski,TN.#5-These families were the
    very first settlers in this part of TN,The odd's are they are family.

    son William Eoff born 1826 in Pulaski Co., Ky. Ref.File #436)
