There are several published histories of Davidson County on the website for Friends of Metro Archives. There are many names of early settlers. The story of the settlers, how and why they came to the Cumberland settlements and the happenings once they got here, is fascinating to read. _http://freepages.folklore.rootsweb.com/~nashvillearchives/published.html_ (http://freepages.folklore.rootsweb.com/~nashvillearchives/published.html) The Sumner County, TN Genealogy website has several published books on the site that cover all of Middle Tennessee, including Davidson. _http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnsumner/sumner.htm_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnsumner/sumner.htm) ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
