COUNTY NAMED IN HONOR OF JUDGE Nashville, Tenn — Anderson County Tennessee, was named in honor of Judge Joseph Anderson, one of the three judges of the Southwest Territory and successor to William Blount as United States senator when the latter was expelled from the Senate, according to a history of Tennessee Compiled by the state department of history. The county, created by act of the General Assembly on November 6, 1801, was formed from parts of Knox and Grainger counties. It lies partly in the valley of East Tennessee and partly on the East Cumberland Plateau, containing about 450 square miles. Settlements began in the county about the year 1800, principally by David Hall, William Tunnell, Isaac Coward, William Hogshead, John Chiles, Joseph Collins Roberts, John Garner, Aaron Slover, John Gibbs, Robert Ross and John Wilson. The Court of Pleas and Common Sessions was organized on December 15, 1851, at the house of Joseph Denham, Sr. The justices of this court were,: Hugh Montgomery, William Underwood, Frederick Miller, James Grant, John Kirby, William Standifer, and Solomon Massingale, William Hogshead, who began practice about 1802, was the first lawyer of the county. The county seat was first named Burrville, in honor of Aaron Burr, by act of the legislature in 1809 the name was changed to Clinton in honor of DeWitt Clinton. The site of Clinton was first owned by John Lieb and the lands surroundirtg it were settled by a colony of Germans, among whom were John Clodfelter, George Bumgartener and John Leinart. Besides the Germans there were John Mcwhirter, John Sutherland, Stephen Bradley, Richard Luallen, James Kirkpatrick and those mentioned above. The greater part of the wealth of Anderson County is in its coal and timber lands. Many large mines are in operation, The 1920 census shows that the county has a population of 1,409. It is located about 22 miles northwest of Knoxville. Scholastic .population of the county is 6,512, with seven high schools and 55 elementary. Source: Kingsport Times, Kingsport, Tenn., July 31, 1923 Note: The figures he gives don't seem to add up; only 1,409 population yet 6,512 students; I'm assuming that the population figures was for heads of households?

My gosh, I've never met anyone that knows as much as you & your right on. In the 1850 census my grandma was spelled with an S but it really was Cynthia but she lived & died by Emma even to her head stone and on it she had "Clinton, Tennessee ". that's how I learned about good old Tennessee. she and Grandpa are buried at the Gypsum Hill Cemetery in Salina Saline Co., Kansas, & that's where I was born but Daddy moved us to Los Angeles when I was 5. My Dad knew nothing. she had 13 children two sets of twins and she was a tiny women. I met her once when she came to California for a few weeks. I was only about 7. she loved Tennessee and I often wonder if she ever got to go home for a visit & I bet not as they were very poor. Well, one down and a lot to go but it's fun just meeting a person like you. you don't miss anything. were you a teacher ? It sure sounds like it because when you explain something a person can understand what's being said.

Thanks so much Jerry. I did pick up Zackarah (sp) years ago but didn't follow it. I've learned more in 2 years 0n the internet then I did in 20 years. I've also learned not to trust it. I've only had a computer for 2 years. I will see what I find. Told Ya there would be a Peter some place. Peter, James & John (smile). John's first born was a James. The thing is where do I look ? I have documents that they were in Sumner Co., in 1850 & they are on Anderson Co., census 1850. Kenneth Hackworth has Elizabeth as a Mahilda and that can't be unless he was married twice . I'm not even sure the children were born in Anderson Co., Kenneth I think wrote a book on the Key's and I believe it to be wrong. It's on the internet too. He also said the 2nd child was a Louisa but I found out she was a Henderson who married Tobis Peters. by the way I have Tobis war records around here some place, would you like a copy when I find them. I have so much becasuse I went to the LDS library and I would copy things. I learned a lot by going to Tennessee 3 times and going to their library and from the family. I could Kick my great grandfather for ever leaving Tennessee. It's so beautiful. I'll let you know what I find. Really when your 75 your mind is not as sharp but the computer helps your brain I think. Thanks again.

I'm not sure. I do have your grandmother Cynthia Emeline Rogers listed as the sister of Sarah Catherine (Katie) Rogers, except I have your grandmother's name spelled as Sintha Emeline Rogers. Your spelling is probably the correct one. Also, I have your Cynthia Emeline Rogers listed as having married John Procise. You probably have much better information on the family than I do since they were your grandparents. On Jemima Jane (Jane) Peters 1852-1896, she married Benjamin Franklin (Frank) Prosise which is another Peters connection to your Prosise family. Jemima Jane was the daughter of William F. Peters and Susannah Yarnell, and the granddaughter of Thomas Peters and Sarah (Sallie) England. My revisionist history of my Peters family does not change where William F. Peters fits into the family. It only goes to confirm it. Jerry

>John Wesley Key, born in Tennessee 1797\1798. He died in Anderson Co., 1882 >and is buried at the Key-Hoskins Cemetery, in Anderson Co., He married >Elizabeth ? who was born in Va. Phyllis, this is sort of a shot in the dark, but have you looked at the 1802 tax list for Anderson County? In "Capt McCamey's Compy" we find David Key, Zachariah Key, and Peter Key (one poll each, no land). It seems quite possible (even likely) that one of them was the father of your John Wesley Key. Zachariah was a lieutenant in the Knox County militia in 1799 (and remember that Anderson County was not created until 1801, so Zachariah may not have had to move to be in Knox County in 1799 and in Anderson County in 1802). I have never seen this stated by anyone who has studied it seriously, but the early Militia Companies look to me as if they were organized at least somewhat geographically, with men living close to each other being in the same company. If this is true (and I suspect it is), then based on the names of the men in "Capt McCamey's Compy" and based on the geographic names listed with some of the men (e.g., Brushy Fk, Pop Ck, B Fork, East Fk, etc.), I believe that the men in the company must have lived several miles north of Scarbrough. For example, they probably lived up around Robertsville or even further north towards Oliver Springs. My Englands were in this company (Jacob, Joseph, and John) as were my Choates (Austin, Austin, and Christopher). There were also Worthingtons and Tunnells (not my lines, but I run into them a lot in my research). Hope this might help. Jerry

Phyllis asked me to post this URL for her. I think her computer was giving her trouble. http://leinart-family.home.att.net/index.htm I am not a Leinart researcher, but I recognize a lot of the surnames as being names I run into all the time in researching Anderson County. Jerry Bryan

Goodness, guess what I just found in my stack of mistake's. I know I'm related to the Peter's because Of Jamia Jane & guess what I had forgotten this. S,T. Peters married Betsy "Polly ?) Rogers. My Grandmother, Cynthia Emiline Rogers, was her sister. I found a letter from S.T. Peters & he must have been a county recorder as he is sending my grandmother a certificate of birth. It's dated 3, Feb. 1927. His letter head just has his name and Clinton, Tenn on it.Do you know if Rogers are in your line of Peters ?? I think his name was Samuel T. Peters.

Not frequently in the state of Montana are 80th birthdays celebrated, but It was a festivity, of this sort that called a social gathering together at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Chapman at 718 South Montana street Thursday afternoon. The occasion was the 80th birthday of Mrs. Chapman and a few choice friends of the lady called to pay their respects and congratulate her upon the happy return of her anniversary. The life story of Mr. and Mrs. Chapman is a charming tale. So long ago that the time seems dim in the distance of years they began life together; they have passed the three score and ten milepost on life's road and still journey serenely on down the slope of age content if they can rest together when the journey is done. Children, grandchildren and great grandchildren have grown up around them and the circle of their years has been set with many jewels of joy. Both the aged people are happy and, after all, what happi- ness is there so exquisite as that which comes as the fruit of honorable age ripening as life's sun declines? It was during the month of April, 1854, when this worthy couple were married. The wedding took place in Winchester, Scott county, Ill. The bride had been born 33 years before in Anderson county, Tenn.. and emigrated to Illinois with her parents when the early pioneers traveled on horseback over the wide stretches of prairie land. Mr. Chapman was 32 years of age when the marriage ceremony, united the twain.  His life began in Knoxville, Tenn., and he emigrated to Illinois in 1828.  Just prior to his marriage he had been on a trip to the  placer diggings of California and came back a bronzed and bearded "forty-niner" to secure a greater fortune tune that was ever panned from the sands of the Sierras' slopes. The couple lived in Winchester from the date of their marriage until 1888. Mr. Chapman had since his youth been familiar with the affairs of a law office. and during the year of his marriage he was licensed to practice law. Fortune smiled upon him and a good law practice and the accumulations of property that come with business energy well directed made him rich. War times increased his wealth so fast that he was counted among the prosperous when the panic of 1873 swept out from the financial centers of the country and tightened the money mar- ket suddenly and grievously. The foundations of Mr. Chapman's fortune crumbled and almost all of his property was swept away during the ill-starred years following the panic. Then the couple came to Wichita. Kan., to begin life anew. The western spirit was in the air of Wichita and after two years' residence there Mr. Chapman joined the procession of settlers that was moving into the Northwest and settled in Butte. He has practiced law here since that time, always living in comfort, but never rich except in the serene domestic joys that are too often strangers to mere money getting. Three children are living the fruit of the union of Mr. and Mrs. Chapman. Mrs. Eva C. Graves, their eldest daughter, lives in this city and is the mother of three grandchildren of the aged couple, and these branches of the house of Chapman have all married but one, and great-grandchildren of Mr. and Mrs. Chapman have been born and are growing up in Butte. Little Dorothy Williams, great granddaughter of the octogenarians, is the youngest toddler that has come to gladden the family circle and unite the extremes of youth and age with ties of affection. The other children of Mr. and Mrs. Chapman are Mrs. McDonough, who resides at Winchester, Ill., and Albert Chapman, the only son, a resident of Cheyenne, Wyo. Although Mr. and Mrs. Chapman are aged beyond the alloted span of life, both are cheerful, happy, contented and, withal, vigorous after the fashion of well preserved age. Oct. 9 of next year Mr. Chapman will round out his three score and 20, but his form is erect and his step as steady as in the days when he looked out on life from the prime of his life. He walks to his office every day from his home on South Montana street and nimbly climbs the stairs. ''It's good exercise. shrewdly observes the aged lawyer. And his wife shares in the good health and abundant spirits that have blessed this couple through their lives. She has a fund of humor that flows like sweet waters through, all her reminiscences of other days, and her memory is so tenacious that events which *the younger generation must verifv by history come to her with the vividness of the happenings of yesterday. Both knew Abraham Lincoln in the old days, and Stephen A. Douglas was a vi!lage schoolmaster when this remarkable twain were young, and made the acquaintance of the men Illinois sent onto the national stage to be conspicuous figures in the drama of the civil war. At the birthday party of Mrs. Chapman Thursday afternoon were a number of the lady friends of the aged lady. There was a quantity of relics of the youth of the hostess on exhibition at the party. A bedspread which had been woven by Mrs. Chapman from yarn she spun at the primitive spinning wheel when she was a girl was one of the exhibits suggesting the activity and industry with which her girlhood's years were crowded. The following is the list of the guests at the party: Mrs. F. E. Curtis, Mrs. Thomas Richards,  Mrs. E. S. Wells, Mrs. J. Kraffganz,  Mrs. R. B. Wallace, Mrs. Charles Passmore, Mrs. E. Carmen. Mrs. H. S. Clark. Mrs. A. A. Crossman. Mrs. G. W. Story, Mrs. J. W. Naughton. Mrs. E. D. Aiken. Mrs. H. Loeber, Mrs. Marnaman and Miss Myrtle Carmen.
