The following was in Montgomery County Genealogical Journal 2 1972-73. Buyers of property of William Hankins deceased 1824 Montgomery County, Tenn contributed by Mrs. LS Orrick Ft Worth Tx Wilmoth Hankins Bryan Latham Benjamin Rye William Clark Carter Hankins David Ostin (Austin?) Mrs. Orricks quetion mark Jones Wells William Hankins John Watson Janes Fentress John Brock David Wells James Dawson Jesse Sinks Randolph Brown William Staton (Slayden?) my quetion mark Harrison Hankins Jacob Ivans John H. Marable Samuel McElyea Albert Russell Robert F. Rogers Martha Sinks Jacob Dean Richard Boyse Drury Atkins William Brazier John Rye Rice Fielding Richard M. Jones Sanuel T. Allen John Stewart Joshua Ward Note; This paper is actually dated May 7, 1824 and William Hankins was a Rev War soldier and so was his father Capt. Daniel Hankins. I think Martha wanted to buy and Jesse took her to the sale and since they each bought tells me the stuff went to two differnt homes. I think Martha was related to some of the buyers from this sale and related to some who bought in 1826 from the Powell Sinks Sr estate. I checked on some of these to see if the surnames used is given names for Sinks decendants is related, like Russell, Hartwell, Warren; and Wilmoth and Harrison are surnames but not in Sinks decendants. Some of these connect with Powell Sinks estate papers 2 years later in 1826. These related by marriage to each other; Hankins, Rogers, Wilmoth, Austin, Dawson, Marable, Hartwell, Watson, Slaton, Rye, Ward, and Russell. I saw the Warren name connected but don't remember where I saw it. I think its more than coincidence that Sinks bought from these two families in Dick. and Mont. co! unties and Martha is probably from one of these families and thats why the Tn decendants used the Hartwell, Russell and Warren names for there sons. Drury Atkins is Adkins and was from Pittsylvania Co Va and and married Lettitia Slayden. John Rye was born in NC. John Marable kin to the senator and rep name Marable Joshua Ward married Jane Harrison in Berkeley Co Va in 1815 and thats all thats known of him. The Harrison, Payne, Underwood, and Richardson allied families go way back to early Goochland Co. Va. Tho the Richardsons not mentioned in sales, the Tn Sinks married one and Dickson Co Tn Will Book A 1804-1856 has Richardsons in it. The book on those families is called "Lick Creek Beckened." My local library is being remodeled and I can't do genealogy yet, they said it will be a few months. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
