This is sent because of the information that Dempsey POWELL appears in a deed, noted below. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tony Johnson" <[email protected]> To: "Mary " Cousin" Holland" <[email protected]>; "Peg "Cousin" Zaremba" <[email protected]>; "TN Humphreys County" <[email protected]>; "TN Dickson County" <[email protected]>; "tnwillia" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, November 16, 2009 7:29 PM Subject: [TNWILLIA] Bartons Creek ( Overlooked clues) Mary and Peg I started thinking Mary Hollands Hiram Johnson and Margaret Johnson of Humphreys Co. Tn. Hiram is a name found in descendants of Laughlin McEleya and Mary Powers who first settled in York Co. PA then to lands of Orange Co NC in 1771 to Caswell CO NC. Then the sons of Laughlin McElyea are found on lands of Surry Co in 1776 and Guilford Co NC. In looking thru McElyea in Transit by Clara Hunt Miller it seems I missed this Montgomery Co Court Minutes Vol 7 pg 117 of 1816-1817 : John McElyea with others worked on the road between Yellow Creek, East Fork and Barton's Creek. This is our John McEleya married to Sarah Boone daughter of Hezikiah Boone ( First cousin of Daniel Boone) WE know that Hiram McElyea son of John McElyea and Sarah Boones grand daughter Tennessee McElyea is married to John S.T. Johnson. So our John McElyea ( Father of Hiram McElyea) is working on Bartons Creek which is then in Montgomery Co. Tn. I wonder who else was involved in that work order as Researcher Clara Hunter Miller does not give any other names. Seems like our Great Aunt and Uncles McElyea families went up into Clay Co Illinois, which is North of Franklin Co Ill.( or vice versa) Now Bartons Creek is part of the Harpeth River of Tn. which comes out of Williamson Co, well the Narrows of the Harpeth is where Montgomery Bell owned the Iron Furnace, which was first the property of General James Randolph Robertson whose families off Colonial Wards Creek. One of the First Lands grants on the Harpeth River was to Charles Robertson in 1783 the brother of General James Randolph Robertson who also owned this Iron furnace on Bartons Creek on the Harpeth River. Another brother of James Randolph Robertson Elijah Robertson. Both of these Robertsons can be connected back to WARDS CREEK in Colonial Va. (See Johnson and Allied families of Wards Creek) Mary this includes your BURTON families and families tied to your Nicholas Haile and John Carter families (The Merriman Families) Just from the above it seems when Hudson and wife Agness Johnson left Williamson Co for lands on Bartons Creek in Robertson Co in 1803 they would follow the Harpeth River into Dickson Co, ( Which also borders Cheatham Co now days) PLEASE NOTE ERROR in previous e-mail I said the deed for Hudson Johnson on Bartons Creek was from Stewart Co it was not it was from Robertson Co in 1803. The lands Hudson Johnson obtained were from a William Cochran who also died in Muary Co. Tn. I need to re check but General James Randolph Robertson sister of Wake Co NC was married first to a David Johnston and after his death she re married and I think that was to a Cochran. Need to Check Johnson and Allied families of Wake Co NC ( six pound Creek) *** 1779 Dec. 6 Michael Rogers, "... a Witness thereto...," proved a bond before the Wake County Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions, in the amount of £1000, "...from James Robertson, John Robertson Charles Robertson & David Johnston to Dempsey Powell ..."for the remaining interests in the Neuse River land http://www.robertson-ancestry.com/1221-vg-02.htm<http://www.robertson-ancestry.com/1221-vg-02.htm> *** Another PA Family living on the Harpeth Rivers was David Ralston It appears Mary your Cotton families tied to Gideon Johnson are also first families on the Harpeth Capt. Thomas Cotton. The First Johnson's on the Harpeth before 1793 appear to be one Isaac Johnston involved with James Donelson (? how connected to Col. John Donelson) Then in 1793 appears one Benjamin Johnson land granted in Davidson Co. Tn note of interest is his son Grief Johnson married a Mary Helms Off a Mary Box married to ? Helms, The Box families of Humphreys and Williamson Co are tied to the widow Mary Box of Colonial Va neighbor of William Hatcher b 1614 England. which again connect to the widow John WARD as William Hatcher bought lands from the Widow Ward in 1636. Going back to ( Marys) Hiram Johnson and his families of Kentucky I note that the John McElyea stopped awhile in Livingston Co Ky on Hurricane Creek in 1805. and then are in Montgomery Co Tn Records for 1817 ( see above) Also Mary it might help in your ( and our) research if Joe did a DNA test for the Holland surname. We can then plot his Holland DNA travel Patterns showing the points where these DNA Holland Familes are crossed with our Johnson DNA project ( White Oak Tree) on the JJJDNA project found on rootsweb.

Mark: Your information throws me because it sounds confusing; however, why don't you ask Constance for a start as to her parents' and grandparents' names? If she died, her death certificate will list her parents; without knowing at least that basic information, you will be at a stale mate. Also, for those of us who only use the digest form of Rootsweb, it is best to show the name of the ancestor you are searching or the place in which they lived rather than just "Searching for Powells", etc. Jo-Ann Seitzinger

Will of Thomas Powell, dated July 12, 1683 and probated Feb. 9, 1687/8; . . . half the lands of Thomas, Nathaniel, William and John Powell and they shall not sell it except to on another; the rest of the lands to son William Powell; daughter-in-law Elizabeth Powell; daughter-in-law Lucretia Corbett; 1 cow jointly to Lucretia Powell and John Powell; 1 steer jointly to Rebecca and Elizabeth Powell.

Immigration: USA, North Carolina, Sampson. Many of the Powells of Sampson County descended from Thomas Powell who came to Virginia 1637 on "The Matthew of London." (a). He paid for his own passage and that of five other men. That entitled him to 300 acres which he patented in Upper County of New Norfolk (now City of Suffolk), Va. (b). Later he moved across the river to Isle Of Wight County where he made his will 1683 and died there the winter of 1687/88, leaving his estate to the children of his deceased son Nathaniel and his surviving son William, (c). General Notes: Alt Ancestral Ref#: FM3D-0P NOTE: The name Powell (originally Ap Howell) is of welsh derivation and not uncommon in Virginia. On 10 Jun 1637, Thomas Powell patented 100 acres in Upper Norfolk County an the south side of the Nansemond River "50 acres for his own and 50 acreas for the personal adv (enture) of a servt." On the same day he patented 200 acres "1 mile from the plantation of sd Powell" which would lead to the inference that he had settled there earlier and that these two patents were additions to acreage in his possession. (See Nugent, "Cavaliers and Pioneers," Page 76) It seems most likely that he is the Thomas Powell (Hotten's "Original Lists," page 236) who appears in the1625 Muter taken after the massacre, as one of the servants of Captain Ralph Hamor then living at Hog Island and who states that he came over in the "Seaflower." This boat is elsewhere listed as coming over in 1621. There is a distance of some forty miles between Hog Island and where Thomas Powell settled in 1637, but it is known that the settlements around Nansemond River were later than those close to Jamestown. Hog Island laying across the river was settled by 1608, possibly even by 1607, and is near enough to Jamestown for signal fires to be used as a means of communication. If the enormous holly tree, over four hundred years old according to experts, that stands on Hog Island close to the river, could only speak, how greatly of these early days would be increased! This Thomas Powell is not the same person of that name listed in Hotten on page 263 as living on the eastern shore and havong come in the "Sampson" in 1618. The descendanys of that Thomas Powell can be traced through Accomack and Northampton County records and are entirely distinct. The will of Thomas Powell, dated 12 Jul 1683 and probated on 9 Feb 1687/8, is abstracted in Mrs Chapman's "Wills and Administration of Isle of Wight County," Vol. 1, page 40. In this he names legatees Thomas, Nathaniel, William and John Powell, daughter-in-law Elizabeth Powell, daughter-in-law Lucretia Corbett, Lucretia, Roberta and Elizabeth Powell, son Willaim to be executor. Witnesses: Thomas Griffin and Francis Hutchins. Good Luck, sassy bama @ centurytel. net (direct mail if you take the spaces out.)

In my searching this is the first family with 5 brothers (one is half a diffrent mother same father) that came from England. There is a whole lot of Powell informtion out there getting the lines correct is a large problem. Hope this helps you. If you are intrested in sharing let me know, my line is from the brother William Powell (1640-1695).

Nathaniel Powell, which had come into the hands of Mr. Blaney who married the relict of Will.

John Camden Hotten, The Original Lists of Persons of Quality; Emigrants; Religious Exiles; Political Rebels; Serving Men Sold for a Term of Years; Apprentices; Children Stolen; Maidens Pressed; and others who went from Great Britain to the American Plantations 1600-1700, page 82, "Passinger (sic) Which Passed From Ye Port of London".   Thomas Powell of Isle of Wight County was perhaps identical with a Thomas Powell, aged 21 in 1635, who came over on May 21, 1635 in the "Mathew'' of London. 1637    Marriage (2):    _______________.  Priscilla Whitson (born about 1616  - died about 1711 in Isle Of Wright, Wake , Virginia, USA).

Bef 1688 February 09    Death Certificate:    USA, Virginia, Isle Of Wight, Upper Parish.  1688 February 09    Death:    Virginia, Isle Of Wight, Chuckatuck Quaker, Upper Parish.   9 February 1687 1688 February 09    Probate:    USA, Virginia, Wake, Isle Of Wright.  1688 February 03    Burial:    USA, Virginia, Suffolk (City), Nansemond, Wp.      Immigration:    USA, North Carolina, Sampson.   Many of the Powells of Sampson County  descended from Thomas Powell who came to  Virginia 1637 on "The Matthew of London."  (a). He paid for his own passage and that of  five other men. That entitled him to 300 acres which he patented in Upper County of New Norfolk (now City of Suffolk), Va. (b). Later he  moved across the river to Isle Of Wight County where he made his will 1683 and died there the  winter of 1687/88, leaving his estate to the  children of his deceased son Nathaniel and his  surviving son William, (c).     General Notes:     Alt Ancestral Ref#: FM3D-0P                 NOTE: The name Powell (originally Ap Howell) is of welsh derivation and not         uncommon in Virginia.                 On 10 Jun 1637, Thomas Powell patented 100 acres in Upper Norfolk         County an the south side of the Nansemond River "50 acres for his own         and 50 acreas for the personal adv (enture) of a servt."  On the same         day he patented 200 acres "1 mile from the plantation of sd Powell"         which would lead to the inference that he had settled there earlier         and that these two patents were additions to acreage in his         possession. (See Nugent, "Cavaliers and Pioneers," Page 76)                 It seems most likely that he is the Thomas Powell (Hotten's "Original         Lists," page 236) who appears in the1625 Muter taken after the         massacre, as one of the servants of Captain Ralph Hamor then living at         Hog Island and who states that he came over in the "Seaflower." This         boat is elsewhere listed as coming over in 1621.                 There is a distance of some forty miles between Hog Island and where         Thomas Powell settled in 1637, but it is known that the settlements         around Nansemond River were later than those close to Jamestown. Hog         Island laying across the river was settled by 1608, possibly even by         1607, and is near enough to Jamestown for signal fires to be used as a         means of communication.  If the enormous holly tree, over four hundred         years old according to experts, that stands on Hog Island close to the         river, could only speak, how greatly of these early days would be         increased!                 This Thomas Powell is not the same person of that name listed in         Hotten on page 263 as living on the eastern shore and havong come in         the "Sampson" in 1618.  The descendanys of that Thomas Powell can be         traced through Accomack and Northampton County records and are         entirely distinct.                 The will of Thomas Powell, dated 12 Jul 1683 and probated on 9 Feb         1687/8, is abstracted in Mrs Chapman's "Wills and Administration of         Isle of Wight County," Vol. 1, page 40.  In this he names legatees         Thomas,         Nathaniel, William and John Powell, daughter-in-law Elizabeth Powell,         daughter-in-law Lucretia Corbett, Lucretia, Roberta and Elizabeth         Powell, son Willaim to be executor.  Witnesses: Thomas Griffin and         Francis         Hutchins.
