He was born about 1808 and died after 1880. I find him in census records for 1830, 40, 60, 70, and 80, all in Carter Co. Many trees have his father as Samuel Perry from Chatham Co.

David, I believe the Carter County, TN. tax records that survive start in 1860. There is a publication entitled: "Carter County, Tennessee, 1836, Civil Districts and Tax Lists" by James L. Douthat According to the Tennessee State Library And Archives site there is the following on microfilm at the TSLA: Early TN Tax Lists > Reel 2 (Carter County 1796-1800); Reel 11 (Carter County 1796) Not sure what it contains, but something to check into. I do research at the TSLA all the time but can't shed any light off the top of my head about this particular source. Hope this helps or gives you some direction.

Hello Group, I live close to Carter county but am new to this group. I am wondering if anyone knows if there are any surviving Tax Lists for the period 1820-1830. I am looking for an Elijah Kilbourn. On the 1820 US census, he was living in Ashe Co., NC (just northeast of Carter county). In 1825 an Ashe Co., NC deed sold by Elijah refers to him as Elijah Kilbourn of Carter Co., TN. I checked the 1830 Carter Co., TN census - no Elijah Kilbourn (he may have died by then since he was born in 1759). Thanks, David Attride

There was not a "Tennessee" unit of any kind in the Revolutionary. They would have been a "Western' North Carolina unit at best. Many militia men who fought in the war migrated to the area that was western North Carolina from other states such as Virginia, Maryland, the Carolinas, etc. After Tennessee was formed in 1796 there were militia units.

Glad to help. Found this interesting news item in my Stout files for James L. FLETCHER. "Elizabethton Star," Elizabethton, TN - Sunday October 5, 1947 J. L. Fletcher Star Subscriber All Of Its Life by Charles Roy Vance A very interesting citizen came into The Star office the other day to renew his subscription. He mentioned he had been a subscriber ever since there had been a Star published in Elizabethton. "I took the paper when it was called "The Mountaineer", J. L. Fletcher said. J. L. Fletcher has been with the E.T. & W.N.C. railroad, for 56 years. He was agent first at Blevins, in 1891, later being transferred to Cranberry, N. C., where he served for 11 years. Because there was no school at Cranberry, Mr. Fletcher resigned and moved back to Elizabethton. He was called back in a short time as agent and telegraph operator on September 1st, 1912, 35 years ago and has been with the company ever since. Mr. Fletcher is now, clerk, telegraph operator and report clerk having charge of over and short freight, damaged shipments etc. The Fletchers live at 406 East "K" Street. In 1892 Mr. Fletcher married Miss Mary Allen and three children were born to this union, two daughters, Mrs. Joe L. Chambers, and Mrs. D. E. Treadway, both of whom are living at the Fletcher home and a son, Joe Allen Fletcher, who lives in Johnson City and has been an accountant at American Bemberg Corporation for twenty years. Mr. Fletcher was born in Elizabethton and told a most interesting story of the town when there wasn't much town here. "All there was to Elizabethton then was on the east side of the river; the streets were muddy when it rained and dusty when it was dry" Mr. Fletcher said. This gentleman who has spent a lifetime here said the progress of Elizabethton has been wonderful, especially for the past few years. Fine homes, good schools, good churches, and so many new homes and business houses being constructed." The only bridge in the town back in those days was the old covered bridge", Mr. Fletcher said. We enjoy talking to Elizabethtonians who have lived here practically all their lives. It is the only way to get the real picture of the growth and the possibilities of the future of our city. We frequently drive over the city and it is remarkable how much building is going on. We believe that within five years we will have one or two sky scrapers here. . . . maybe a ten or twelve story office building, a modern department store, a hotel with 200 rooms, all with bath . . . a coffee shop in connection. And, maybe an auditorium where great crowds can gather. Doe River will be walled in and pretty parks developed along this beautiful stream. There might be a large park and a few lakes scattered around, who knows. Hundreds of thousands of tourists will swarm in from the east. And they will come from Mobile, New Orleans, Memphis and Atlanta to enjoy the wonderful climate and to see the most beautiful mountain scenery in all the land.
