I suspect that you might be referring to William Sale Jr., born about 1759, possibly the third or fourth son of William & Ann Sale who a few years later appear in Halifax County, NC. I have very little on William; after a few early appearances in Wilkes he disappears, presumably off to Tennessee if he's the one you're talking about. If this is a later William Sale, I also have a ggggranduncle William Sale, born about 1782, son of Leonard Sale; possibly the William Sale who married (by bond 17 Mar 1812) Betsy Johnson in Surry County. Then there's also his older cousin William Sale, born about 1772, son of Cornelius Sale. Cornelius also had a grandson William Sale, born about 1813, son of John and Susanna (Mayberry) Sale. He was, I believe, the Wm Sale who married Martha Walker (by bond dated 16 Feb 1836) in Wilkes County. But I assume that your Wm Sale was in the Midwest by then. When do you have traces of your William Sale in Tennessee? What county?
