Here is a photo I found on Ancestry.com. This is Squire Justice (1813-1894). He had a least two wives: Sarah "Sally" Russell and Catherine Jackson (daughter of Rev. Wm. R. Jackson). He fathered many children - listed below is an excerpt from a story on Ancestry.com which mentions yet a another wife, Rachell.

"Squire first married Rachell and to this union was born one sone named Aberham (called Abe) after his grandfather. His wife Rachell left home taking his best mare and son. She left his son Abe on a big rock just as you leave highway 62 to go innto the Big Mt. Hollow area. Squire came and got his son and later went to Knoxville and got his mare. At this time, he lived on the mountain known as the Fork Mt. section of Anderson County, in the NW corner. This place is known even to this day as Squires Gap. Squire later married Sarah Russell on November 1, 1844.

About the same time Squire married Sarah, he left the mountains and moved to Coalfield TN (section of Morgan County). Sometime later, Sarah died and Squire married the third time to Catherine Jackson. Squire finished his life in the Coalfied section of Morgan County. He is buried in the Justice grave yard in the Balden Camp area of Coalfield. "
