I had posted marriages for the name Privett and I was at the library and found this in a book called Tennessee Divorces 1797-1858 Taken from 750 legislative Petitions and Acts by Gale W. Bamman,C.G. and Debbie W. Spero Privett, Willis 5 November 1827 Smith Co. TN Willis Privett was married in December 1824 in Wake County, NC to Delila Perry. they lived together happily for two years. At the end of two years and some before, she began asking him to move to the Western Country, suggesting that her mother had moved to Virginia, that her brother had moved to TN., and that since they were poor, by moving they might better themselves. Last Feb. [1827] they arrived in Smith Co. TN. in the same neighborhood as her brother, Burrell Perry, and his family. They lived with Burrel but Willis soon found his brother-in-law to be devoted to an idle man named John Boze. Delila ran off with Boze and lives with him.Petition includes signatures of 5 neighbors who say they have known Willis Privett 9 or 10 months. Hope this helps someone researching names Privett and Perry Judy
