Hi Tony, We meet again. I forgot one piece of info when I posted this last night. WILLIAM ORR was also in the 1794 tax list in SUMNER county for 200 acres. So, it looks like he was back and forth between Davidson and Sumner counties. I don't know if he and my JOHN ORR are kin but they and a ROBERT OAR are the only ones I see in my area. I don't think anyone knows for certain but we think JOHN ORR might have a birthdate of ca 1750 as he died in 1798 in Sumner County and his wife FRANCES unknown died in 1813. There is only an inventory on him with no will. in Sumner in 1814 after Frances died.. I know what your taking about on county formations. That would include Walkers Line between Sumner County and Allen Co Ky. Some of my lines were in both. Thanks for answering.. Now I need to find out where my JOHN ORR and this WILLIAM ORR were before coming to TN. .. and ROBERT ORE.

Looking for any Haggard descendants in the area. My direct line is W.H. Haggard he went by William Holman Haggard as well. He married Lucinda Mcintosh daughter of Nimrod Mcintosh & Nancy Murphey-Murphy. My Gibson & Trevathan families also tie in with these folks as well so I would like to meet some new researchers out there ! Thanks Robin Holt
