When John Carter Stark wrote his will on 5 April 1814 in Sumner Co., TN, one bequest was as follows: "To my son John Stark I give a negro boy named Charles and a negro girl named Jane provided he does not carry the said negroes to the Illinois country where I understand they are prohibited to be carried, if he removes to that country as is supposed. In order to retain them in the family I desire these 2 negroes to be sold to my other sons and the money arising therefrom to be given to him." For whatever reason, John Carter Stark, Jr. chose not to leave Sumner County where he died in 1862, but members of my BLOODWORTH, BRUCE, and DUGGER families did move on from Sumner Co. TN to Gallatin Co., IL. I submit this merely to show how Illinois figured in the thinking of those considering moving on from Tennessee after their migration from Virginia. Joyce
