Good morning Georgia, We don't have the Montgomery County marriage records in the ROOTWALKER library for the time period that you mention. If you don't mind I'll place your query in our Archives Folder and will research this for you during an upcoming trip to an archives or library that has this information. Thanks for being part of the ROOTWALKER family. God Bless America!

Can someone look for the marriage of Oscar H. Watts and Louisa? Both were born in Tennessee. Oscar's father was a Baptist minister and married several of his children. He lived in Todd Co., KY. They were either married in Montgomery Co.,TN or Todd Co., KY most likely between 1835-1837. Thanks, Georgia

Dear Stan, Yes, I would like it very much if you added Onisephorous HARVEY to your archive list to look up. To answer your questions about my G G Grandmother here is the following information. Clarisey was born in 1838 in Cumberland Gap. I don't know whether that is in Dickson Co. She was owned by Onisephorous Harvey (1800-1860) and married in 1853 to Alfred RAMEY my G G Grandfather. I have a picture of her that states her name as Clarisey JoAnna HARVEY. She died in 1926 at her home in Dickson Co. Tennessee. I do not have a death certificate. If you find Onisephorous HARVEY's will, a copy would be absolutely wonderful. Sincerely, Angela

Good morning BJ, I'm sorry, but there aren't any members of the PARTON or PARDON families mentioned in the "Hickman County, Tennessee, Deed Book B." This book is for the years of 1811 through 1813, so your clan could have moved into the area later than the time period of this book. There are, however, some members of the BROWN family found in this book. They are: BROWN, Claburn BROWN, Claybourn (I think these first two names are the same person.) BROWN, George BROWN, Jonathan BROWN, William. If any of these people are of interest to you, please let me know and I'll provide you with what is said about them. Please give me the names one at a time, though, if you need the info about more than one of these people. No members of the HOWARD family are found in this book, either. Is there anyone else I can look for in this book for you? Thanks for being part of the ROOTWALKER family. "Stars And Stripes Forever!"

Good morning Jim, I don't know if this is the same Peter PICKARD or not as the dates she mention are far to early to have been him. I am wondering if her Peter PICKARD could be the grandfather or some other ancestor of the fine gentleman you mention.

Good morning Lynda, The questions you present are very easy to answer. The original land grant that you posted to the UsGenWeb was issued by the state of North Carolina. At the end of the American Revolution, many of the patriot soldiers were paid for their service with land grants. Part of what is now Tennessee was once designated as a "North Carolina Military District," which was settled largely by persons who had land grants. In the early part of 1789, the land that is now Tennessee was still part of North Carolina. When North Carolina ceded the land that now makes Tennessee to the US Government in 1789 to form the Southwest Territory, it reserved the right to satisfy further land grants in the region. Tennessee was made a state of the United States on June 1, 1796. Later, the state of Tennessee continued to honor these land grants. North Cross Creek, mentioned in the land grant of Mr. THOMPSON, is in Stewart County, Tennessee. It is almost directly across the Cumberland River from South Cross Creek. Several of my ancestors had land grants on or near North Cross Creek and their lands were in the area of Indian Mound in Stewart County, Tennessee. Just to be sure there wasn't another North Cross Creek in the area I checked my maps and then searched GNIS for another stream by the same name and there isn't one in Tennessee. To help you further, here is the sequence of the county names that North Cross Creek has been in: 1. It was part of the land included in the Transylvania Purchase of March 17, 1775. (In 1783, part of this Purchase was formed into Davidson County, North Carolina.) 2. In 1788 this land became Tennessee County, North Carolina. 3. In 1796, this land became Montgomery County, Tennessee. 4. In 1803, the land that is now Stewart County was taken from Montgomery County. I hope I have helped answer your questions. If not, please don't hesitate to let me know and I'll see if we have any more information in the ROOTWALKER library about this region. Now, pertaining to your THOMPSON and PARKER families. You mention they are found in Davidson and Sumner Counties, which are counties that are within the ROOTWALKER region. We have helped research these two families, primarily in Sumner County in and near the communities of New Deal and Halltown, several times. There are several cemeteries in the area that contain the graves of many people from these families. There is a great deal of information on the ROOTWALKER website that pertains to the THOMPSON and PARKER families of northern middle Tennessee. The address for the ROOTWALKER website, if you don't have it, is: www.rootwalker.com <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnnmid/index.htm">Rootwalker Genealogy Pages for Northern Middle TN--Main Page</A> Thanks for bringing your questions to us.

My g grandfather was William M. Parton/Pardon from Hickman County, Tn. I believe his fathers name was Hubbard. William married Sarah M.Brown. I think her parents were John Brown and Ellen Howard. Is there anything on these people in your book? I'd appreciate anything. These surnames are very hard to research. Thanks bj

Thanks Stan very much for the look ups. I do not think Mr. Robert Estes is part of my line.
