Genealogy.com: 83 total individuals in the James B. Ferguson "household" consisting of 49 white males, 10 white females, 3 free colored persons, and 21 slaves. 2 persons are of "learned professions & engineers". No occupation reported for the others. Perhaps Ferguson was in charge of a factory or other industry and used slaves and free men that he offered room and board to.

Sherry, James B. Ferguson does have a household with 83 poeople according to 1840 census. Perhaps he was a schoolmaster, or likely a hospital or correction facility admin? Too bad 1840 didn't list such information. ----- Original Message ----- From: "my tngenes" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2007 7:18 PM Subject: [TNDAVIDS] 1840 census Look-Up > Can someone do a "look-up" for me, please?

Hi Carol, The Tennessee State Library and Archives has land grants on microfilm that are searchable (there is an index in pull drawers). I am not sure if they are at the Metro Archives, as well, but I do know that the grants are at the TSLA. Regina Carol Lucian <[email protected]> wrote: Hello Fellow Researchers, I recently sent for some deeds from the Metro Archives. One of the deeds mentions a land grant and has a Circuit Court petition attached. I would like to find the land grant and also all court actions relating to my ancestors Robert C. MOBERLY (MOBLEY) and his wife Delilah DRAKE, including the one mentioned in the deed. I believe that any records pertaining to them would be between 1830-1840, but I would want to search a few more years in either direction, of course. I do not see anything about court records or land grants on the Metro Archives site. Could someone please tell me how to go about having these deed searched and obtaining copies? The mention of the land grant in the deed reads “a certain tract piece or parcel of land situate lying and being in the County of Davidson containing three hundred and eighty nine acres founded on a Grant No 13259 issued 25th day of November 1835” The court action attached to the deed reads: Registered Febuary 11th 1840 R. C. MOBLEY appointed Trustee (in margin) State of Tennessee. Davidson County. Circuit Court Sept. Term 1840 Delilah W. MOBLEY Ex parte petition It happening to the satisfaction of the Court Henry EWING the Justice mentioned in the petition has never acted and now refuses to act, the court at the request of the cestui que appoints Robert C.

GARRETT I would like to know how a married woman obtained a land grant in her own right at this period. It would also be interesting to know why Henry EWING refused to act. Apparently the land was sold because the family was moving (had already moved?) to Indiana, as they are listed there on the 1840 census. As far as I can determine, they lived in Lincoln Co., TN between 1825 and 1830. Before their marriage in about 1824, both lived in Warren Co., KY. Thank you for your assistance!

The Nashivlle Library has cemetery maps for some Nashville Cemeteries. Go to the library before the cemetery and get one for the old City Cemetery. It shows the exact location of each grave.

Last time I was there, the archived in the cellar of the Post Office in Franklin had a BIG map on the wall, of the county, I mean BIG..and all the roads and cemeteries are clearly locate-able on it. Trouble is it can't be copied except just draw it yourself. I just remembered that. catherine<BR><BR><BR>**************************************<BR> See what's free at http://www.aol.com.</HTML>

There are two government archives in Nashville. The Tennessee State Library and Archives has microfilmed records for each county in the state. The TSLA website gives details of what records are held for each county and the time-frame. Metropolitan Archives of Nashville and Davidson County has records for Nashville and Davidson Co., only. Metro Archives has on microfilm, the same Davidson County records that TSLA has on microfilm, some of them dating back to 1783. Metro Archives also has records that are not available at TSLA such as the original marriage bonds and licenses 1789-1992, and the original wills 1780-1950. Microforms of these original records are available through LDS research centers. Some records available at Metro Archives are: deeds 1784-1924; court records [county court, chancery, circuit, criminal etc.] 1783-1970; census records; wills 1789-1950; records for various cemeteries; birth and death records; city directories; etc. Metro Archives holds the originals for most of the above records although many are kept in storage to protect and preserve the records. The Metro Archives research policy will give you a better idea of the holdings. _http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~nashvillearchives/researchpolicy.html_ (http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~nashvillearchives/researchpolicy.html) ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

And, don't forget the National Cemetery on Gallatin Road in Inglewood and Mt.Olivet Cemetery on Lebanon Road. Belmont College used to be Belmont Mansion and still has some beauty that's nice to see. Carnton Manion and Carter Mansion in Franklin and Two Rivers Mansion on McGavock Pike. The families that lived Carnton Mansion and in Two Rivers were related. There are parts of northern Davidson county that still have the old trails to the Louisville (KY) and Nashville wagon coach line and if you're also interested in such things, the ghost of Rachel Donelson is reported to be seen in Opry Mills Mall. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

hi if you are going to williamson county, there are some nice civil war sites - check out the franklin public library - it has a decent genealogy section - also check out the small archives right in town as they have a good selection of all williamson county books, records etc and they are very helpful as are the ladies in the genealogy section of the library - its a big library, not your typical public library. the town of franklin in williamson county is very picturesque - cobblestone streets, lots of nice little shops - plus you could probably run into either country western stars or christian music stars as many of them live in franklin. nashville is a great town - my daughter went to college there and decided to stay, so we get to go down every year - this is a great time of year to go. there is a really nice civil war monument on granny white pike just south of downtown and you should definitely go the the parthenon which is an exact replica of the parthenon in greece. the downtown area is so nice - the library is within walking distance of the archives. if you go to the archives, go early because you will probably end up spending the day there - they have parking. the little davidson county archives in the shopping center is also very helpful- they kind of pick up where the archives leave off - it seems to me, the archives are pre-1870's, the davidson archives have most of the stuff after it. i have spent weeks in the state archives and still need to find things - it never ends LOL. don't forget to notice the "batman" building in the skyline - its really the phone company, but looks like batman. have a great time - i am jealous - i don't get to go till the fall!! linda

You will also want to see the Hermitage, home f President Andrew Jackson out the Lebanon Pike. The old City emetery on 4th Ave., Scontains the burial places of a number of famous Tennesseans.
