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. They were supposed to be German. Any suggestions?

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!

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
