Sorry, I prematurely hit send on my previous reply and failed to complete this paragraph: [continued]... Originally, I used "'The Connection' in East Tennessee" as my sole source for William (H. or Mathew) Headrick's parents as Jacob and Mary (Polly) Rice Headrick. Since then, I have found Murray County land deeds showing that Jacob Headrick sold the North half of land lot 57 (10th dist., 3rd section) to William Headrick. In another deed, heirs of Jacob and Polly Headrick (both deceased), including heir, William Headrick, divided the SW corner of land lot 87 in the 10th district, 3rd section. [This land does later end up in the hands of my W.A.L. Headrick--so I think we have traced the lineage correctly.] These heirs then "sell" their portions to Jacob Headrick (this would be Jacob, Jr.) in 1885, who in turn sells it to W.T. Caylor in the same year. This might be a clue for you, because deeds were often recorded in order to take care of the red tape, apparently, when deeds had actually already changed hands between family members upon decease of the parents. In other words, you might want to look for W.T. Caylor in census and other places, and see if he is any relation to your Mary Caylor Headrick. There's another deed that might be helpful to you in providing documentation that John E. Headrick is the son of William: Murray Co. deed record book S, p.449, deed from William Headrick Sr. to John E. Headrick in 1900, transaction for one dollar, for the NW corner of land lot 57, 10th dist., 3rd section. I absolutely can't find that deed copy right now (I think it was recorded much later than it changed hands, so I may need to look back at the older deeds). According to my notation that I took from the deed, William refers to the natural love and affection that he has for his son, and also reserves water rights for the use of Mary C. Headrick and children. That's about all that I have, but these documents seem to suggest that the book I used earlier (TCET) was fairly accurate in the lineage record, in spite of discrepancies in the middle initials. Also, I think the W.T. Caylor lead is worth checking. I hope some of this is helpful. dkp --- Vicki Yates <vryates@hotmail.com> wrote: > John E. married Polly Caylor.
