Hi Kathleen, Thank you for this warrant information. I did not have it. As for your question about being related to the Joshau Hadley Family. A deed of land to Lee SULLIVAN is mentioned in a suite over the estate of Joshua HADLEY. ( I need to find this one.) Deed in Williamson county in 8/13/1801 - Joshua Hadley, Sumner county, and James Winchester ...tract on Big Harpeth River ... SE corner of William Parnall and adj. Lee Sullivan ... wit. Saml P. Black. ( I need to find this one.) I have been told that Lee Sullivan married a Hadley from the Joshau Hadley Family. This Lee Sullivan's parents were William Sullivan Sr. b. Abt 1742 in Duplin Co., NC and Tabitha Lee b. 1748 in Duplin Co., NC. I think that this Lee Sullivan is the father of my Lee Sullivan family line because they appear in the same area as the Joshua Hadley Family plus the Hadley name appears in my family line as follows: The children of Lee Sullivan (Jr.) (b. 1816 in Davidson Co., TN) and Ann Elizabeth Harris were Margaret, Amelia Hadley, Sabina Lori and Lee H. (Hadley?). Lee H. Sullivan had a son, Elmer Hadley Sullivan. Elmer had a daughter, Elma Anne Sullivan. She was my wife.

Hello All, Here is the entry for this Joshua Hadley at the Hadley database at Worldconnect: _http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=hadbase&id=I2724_ (http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=hadbase&id=I2724) As has been noted, there is much online about him. Somewhere many years ago I found a picture of his house or land or something like that in middle TN. I descend from his "Aunt Ruth" who married John Marshall. His father was something of a black sheep, amongst his siblings, being active in the Rev. War when the rest of this Quaker family remained outside it. Best Regards, Janet Hunter

Looking for any info on William Bransford b. 1788 Buckingham VA m Patsy Mosely and moved to Smith Co. TN 1810. Need birth/death dates for son Arthur Price Bransford who m. Molly Morris. Thanks, Mary

When I type URLs - web addresses and/or email addresses into my email, AOL automatically turns them into hyperlinks. These hyperlinks display differently in various email clients. Sometimes they show up twice, even though the URL was typed only once by the sender. Sometime they are not hyperlinks at all, just plain text. If you cannot access a link by clicking on it, try typing the address into browser. To send email, open a new email and type the address in the "send to" box. Be careful to type the email address exactly as it given. For a website type the URL address into your browser address bar or highlight and copy the link and paste into your browser address bar. This website gives more details. coolnerds.com/Newbies/howBrowse/index.htm I left off the http:// so that the URL (web address) would not turn into a hyperlink in my email.

This record is an enumeration or census of the free male inhabitants of the county. Davidson County was first divided into militia companies or military districts for the purpose of legal representation and taxation and continued until 1835 when there was a change to numerical districts. This is not a listing of those serving as active militia, it is a census of all free male residents. _http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~nashvillearchives//enumeration1812.htm l_ (http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~nashvillearchives//enumeration1812.html)

Thanks Kathleen for your help. This Lee Sullivan married to Anne E. (Elizabeth) Harris is where my current documentation generally stops. I believe his father was also named Lee and he is the one I'm working on. Barry At 07:12 AM 2/19/2007, you wrote: >According to the book, "Marriages of Davidson Co.

Thanks, Mary. You've given me some other avenues to research for my John Stover. He was born in PA, and it's my understanding that John Stover in PA then was like John Smith in the US now.

Could you look up Nehemiah Courtney in that book, PLEASE! He appeared in Davidson Co TN in 1770, , married and started a baby but died before she was born in July 1771, and that is ALL I can find about him! Catherine Clline

The book that Mary referred to, THE PREEMPTORS, MIDDLE TENNESSEE'S FIRST SETTLERS, was compiled by Irene Griffey in 1989 from an original book at the North Carolina Archives. The original was kept by David Shelby for the commissioners, Anthony Bledsoe, Isaac Shelby and Absalom Tatum, who had been appointed by North Carolina to survey the boundaries of the military reservation. The reserve covered what is now northern Middle Tennessee. Originally the land was to be set aside to give to soldiers of the Revolution. Before the survey was started settlers began moving into the wilderness area near the present Nashville, Davidson County and surrounding counties. In the beginning years, the settlers established a number of small fortified communities across Middle Tennessee. They suffered through one of the coldest winters ever known in the region, built cabins, cleared land, planted crops, brought in live stock, got married, had babies, were killed in Indian battles and died from disease and hardship. These settlers petitioned North Carolina for a right to lay claim to the land on which they had settled. North Carolina decided that the pioneers, for their heroic efforts, would be given preemption certificates for land within the reserve. Preempt means they had prior right over the military claimants. Griffey's book is a transcription of the preemption rights. The commissioners were authorized to give certificates for 640 acres to each head of family and each single male of the age of 21 years who had been living on the land before the first day of June 1780. The certificates were given to the settler found living on the land when the commissioners made their survey in late 1782 and 1783. In many cases this was not the original settler who had been there in 1780, but a latecomer who had purchased the preemption rights. I have a copy of the book and if you email me off-list [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) I will check the index for one surname and send you any information I find. Only those who lived in Middle Tennessee by 1783 will be listed. Please just ask about one surname at a time. If you send the request to the Davidson Co. list I will not respond.

Jeanette, Thank you for your response in looking for Lee Sullivan's Will in Davidson Co., TN. I was aware of the microfilm that is available at Nashville, TN at the State Archives. In fact, I currently have one on order through the LDS FHCL research catalog service. It takes about a month to receive one from the LDS Archives for viewing after ordering it. I have been very active in using this method of research because my Mother was born in Berlin, Germany my Grand Father in Breslau, Stadt Schlesien, Preussen, Germany (Warclaw, Poland) and my Grand Mother in Glogau, Schlesien, Preussen, Germany (Glogow, Poland). The draw back is, it takes a very long time to sometimes get the information but in my case I have found it very rewarding. The reason I posted my message was to make sure I wasn't missing a more simple direct method of finding the information. Thanks again for your response. Barry Hubert Beattie. P.S. My Mother's Family were Huberts.

TENNESSEANS IN THE WAR OF 1812 by Sistler Officers: STOVER, John , 2 Lt., Col Samuel Bayless, Capt Joseph Rich, E TN Inf. Res. omitted (my note in Records of Officers in TN Militia I found from Campbell County Regiments - Joseph Stover, Lieutenant 33rd regiment...commission given March 20, 1811) under enlisted men there are 8 Stovers listed.....do you have a first name? I would try military records on your Stover to get you back a few years and might also give you a location to look. I also looked at index to Erly Tennessee tax lists by Sistler and there were several Stovers ca 1796 in Carter co Christian - Carter 1796 Christian Sr Carger 1798 Daniel Carter 1796, 1798 John Carter 1796 so seems 1790s there were 4 Stover found in Carter Co. If I were you, I would look at those. the Turneys.....in VA they lived among Peters, Petre, Painter, Funkhouser, Nicely/Knisely, Buhler/Beeler, Summers, Hawkins, Byrd, Dieter/ Teeter, Bumgarden, Barger, Nuland/Newland, Miller, Bowman, Countz/Kontz, and so on. As a neighbor of the father of the TN Turneys in Shenandoah Co VA in 1785 was a John Stover. There were other Stover in Shenandoah Co VA in this 785 head of household census. On Holston I see many of these names, plus Ramsey (out of Augusta Co VA). The John Teeter (wife Eva Turney) had a daughter who married into the Miller and Nicely family after the move 1774.....Buhler/Beeler family connected to Petre and Peters.....and so on. Some of them stayed in 1780 in eastern TN but a few moved to the Cumberland. Casper Mansker at one point lived I think on the Clinch river or in that area. So many people from that area did move to the Cumberland. Mary

Sumner Co TN probate data 1787-1808 p. 26 July Term 1789 Will of Henry Rule dec'd proved by Edward Jones; Catherine rule and John Rule qualified as executors.

I too have a German ancestor that I am stuck on. I find him in Sumner Co. (south near the Davidson Co. line) tax records in 1819-21 as Frederick/Ferdinand RHYNEMAN and RUNMAN and RINEMAN. Before that, he married in Davidson County in 1810 to Susannah RULE/RUYLE. I've checked the Sumner County deed index and he isn't in it, nor did he own real estate in Davidson County. I can't find any citizenship papers on him. I have no records on him earlier than the 1810 marriage. He had to have come from somewhere!

Mary, In your study of the German-speaking inhabitants, have you come across any Stovers? I've hit a brick wall with my ancestors at 1817, and feel they may have migrated with Robertson.

Did you work on the ships' logs concerning these surnames to see when they immigrated? Many came in through Pennsylvania and then spread out to other states. Try ships with German registry first and look at the ports. I have German ancestry and worked it from that angle. A few in that time frame came in from Canada and then down to the US. Just a thought.
