I don't remember if Barry is in our group or not, but thought I would post this here too in case anyone in our group has anything for Barry. Now, I know the Peter Spence who gave the deposition in the William Ridge affair was from Surry Co. NC and was living in Hickman Co. TN at one time. This William that Barry is looking for may belong in our VA group somewhere. this is not the William I was talking about ! It's another one for goodness sake !

He was bor= n in Norh Carolina in 1792, and came to Harpeth, near the Newsom place, in 1810. He was a poor boy without education, and worked here as a hireling f= or ten years. At the age of 28 he married Phebe Forehand. John Davis, who liv= ed in that neighborhood, induced him to visit Hickman County, where Davis own= ed land. The result was he purchased from Davis 450 acres south of, and adjoining Little Lot. He settled on this land in 1845. His sons were Miles= , Mark, and John; his daughters, Narcissa, who married Robert Bratton Jr.,; Rebecca, who married Gill Anderson ; Nancy , who married Robert Dean; And Tennessee, who married James Harrington.
