Toxey and Andy, Since my DeLoach line resided in Sullivan Co., TN at one time, I am have wondered if this deed is a clue as to the ancestry of my John DeLoach b. 1785 SC: <<The following information was received from the Registrar of Deeds in Blountville, TN. A.C. Bedwell & J.R. Collins to DeLoach Mill Mfg Company $104.00 Blountville, Tenn, Nov. 15" 1888>>> Maybe down the line we will find there is a link some how to the ancestors of your William Henderson DeLoach. Unfortunately, I don't think there are any easy answers to this puzzle. Mike....have you looked up Mr. Bedwell and Collins in the Sullivan Co. census? I don't have those census, and the Sullivan Co. page only goes to 1850. Lisa DeLoach Waldman
