Dear List, Does anybody on the list know of any male Johnson who is a straight-line- descendant of Isaac Johnson, ( b. 14 Apr 1761 , Craven Co. NC & d. 18 June 1839 Davidson Co. TN)? This particular Isaac Johnson was a Rev. War Vet, and is buried in Cane Ridge Cemetery in Davidson Co. TN. Would like to find a male Johnson descendant who has had a YDNA swab. Any assistance appreciated! Thanks, Judy in TX

Carlena....you need a geneticist....They have labs that can tell you what you want to know...The labs that do DNA testing for genealogy aren't comprehensive enough...A hospital in your area can tell you whom to aee..

I have received the information concerning the 1900 census for Columbus Prather. They are found in Butler Co KY in 1900. Many thanks to all who helped. Columbus L Prather b 3 Apr 1842 Warren/Simpson Co KY d 3 Mar 1917 in Davidson Co TN buried in Mt. Olivet Cemetery. Married: Georgia Ann Phelps 25 Oct 1865 in Warren Co KY d 28 Sept 1808/09 in Davidson Co. George W b 10 Sept 1866 d Davidson Co 12 July 1935 Married: Minnie Taylor Nobia b 25 Dec 1871 Warren Co Married #1 Grant Cohron #2 Oscar J Hess d 5 May 1949 in Davidson Co Katy C b 1877 Married: Henry C. Odom???? F Lee b Jan 1880 (apparently died in infancy) William Hurt b 17 May 1883 d 28 Apr 1943 in Davidson Co Buried: Mt Olivet Never married. Some of this info is from the death certificates of those who died in Davidson Co TN and most are buried at Mt. Olivet. Since the census says that Georgia was the mother of 6, 4 living, one must have been born between 1866 and 1871. Columbus L was the son of John Prather and Agnes Harris. Georgia Ann was the dau of William C Phelps and Sarah Ennis. Columbus was a brother of my great grandmother Eliza Jane Prather who married Granville Monroe Morris in Warren Co. She and Granvills are buried at the Plano Church Cemetery in Warren Co.

May be that someday I will figure out where Robert G. Page`s Parents are buried. Cassy Phelps and Robert were in the Nashville area at some point . Not sure if they were with parents when they got married or traveled solo. Or with other family members ? Tim Smith
Where did you see it listed in Davidson County? The Suggs Creek Cemetery is next to the Suggs Creek Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Wilson County. The church was formed in 1800. It's real close to the county line which may have contributed to the confusion about which county it was in. Wilson County was created in 1799 from Sumner County. Sumner County was created in 1786 from Davidson County. Davidson County covered a good deal of middle TN when it was created in 1783. You can find locations of cemeteries by using <http://geonames.usgs.gov/domestic/index.html>http://geonames.usgs.gov/domestic/index.html and clicking on "Search Domestic Names."

Is there any sort of list to translate where all these cemeteries are located? I believe Suggs Creek Cemetery Davidson, CO is actually the same as the one in Wilson...maybe it WAS in Davidson County before Percy Priest Lake... then there are the ones listed by miles ie 6 miles brick church or 14 miles franklin road..... and 2 listed at Bull Run - for two folks that lived in downtown Nashville...
Ashe County was formed from Surry and then from Rowan Co NC, and we know the Travel Pattern of the Shropshrie families. Injecting a Note here, General James Randolph Robertson (Land owner on Barton's Creek) Uncles families will move to Oglethorpe CO Ga, about the same time the Shropshire Families of Matrimony Creek will move too. The Uncle is tied to a Patrick Family when they move to Oglethorpe Co Ga. Now in Mary Holland and LTC Nathaniel Johnson research of Blue Creek and Duck River Johnson's this is the connecting point to Gideon Johnson of Dan River, is her Pillow Families HAYES FORK This small community is located between Blue Creek and Bumpus Mills.

Rains commanded a company who served in Gen. John Sevier's Etowah Campaign. The men were finally paid for their service in 1798 by Robert Hayes, muster master who listed their names under "Men who served in Sevier's 1793 campaign who were living in Mero District when paid in 1798."

In such circumstances, Robertson promised to survey selected, choice parts of the tract for the Blounts. Robertson also recommended Robert Hayes as a possible replacement for Daniel Smith, should Smith resign http://www.tngenweb.org/tnland/dov4.htm<http://www.tngenweb.org/tnland/dov4.htm> By an act of the North Carolina legislature passed December 29, 1785 entitled "An Act for the promotion of learning in Davidson County," the Rev. Thomas Craighead, Hugh Williamson, Daniel Smith, William Polk, Anthony Bledsoe, Lardner Clarke, Ephraim McLean, Robert Hayes, and James Robertson were appointed trustees under the name of President and Trustees of Davidson Academy." They had the authority to receive, by bequest, gift, or purchase, land, tenements, and property or money for the purposes of the Academy. The last clause reads as follow: "And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, that no lands, tenements, or hereditaments which may be vested in the Trustees of the Academy of Davidson, for the sole use and behoof of the said Academy, shall be subject to any tax for the space of ninety-nine years." http://www.tennkin.com/bios/johnandeph_bio.htm<http://www.tennkin.com/bios/johnandeph_bio.htm> Robert Hayes is one of the first settlers on Blue Creek where we find Humphreys Co.
