Petty Author: Sarah Date: Thursday, 9 August 2007, at 12:12 p.m. Mollie, Thanks for your "hint" about Bramlett postings. This info turned out to be the key for me...that Sarah Bramlett was not James's wife, and it helped point to the source of misinformation I've seen posted. My cousin John Petty took the information you found posted, and pointed me to the widow of James Petty's uncle Gabriel, who had a second wife, who we think was an "Edwards" and whose first husband was Mr. Brumlett. Her second husband Gabriel Petty died before 1850. So, John's information about the widow Sarah Petty on the 1850 Madison Co TN census has been a real find--clearing up so much. 1850 Census Madison Co TN dist #11, page 317. Family #400 Sarah Petty 46 NC, a widow; children; William H. 26 TN., Sanford 18 TN., Martha 17 TN., Levi S. 13 TN., Benjamin F. 8 TN., Mary F. 6 TN., *Henry H. Bramlett 22 TN., and Sarah Bramlett 16 TN. Seeing this census, it is now clear where misformation about James D. Petty came from. He did not have a wife named Sarah b. ca 1804 NC or children named Wm. H; Sanford; Martha; Levi; Benj.; or Mary F. He did not die before 1850. He did have children Wm. C; Mary Jane; Elizabeth "Bettie"; and Sarah L. And a son and daughter who are unaccounted for. He died in 1857 in Texas. Sometimes proving what is "not correct" can be a "breakthru" too. Glad you took the time to look into this. Sharolyn *************************************************************************** This is an automatically-generated notice.

In the early 1800's several "Primal" families lived along Yellow Creek in Dickson County between Cedar Creek and the Montgomery County line. The names DICKSON, PARRISH, JAMES, GOODRICH, ELLIS, STEWART, WILSON, WEST, KIMBLE, TURNER, MORRISON and ANDERSON seemed to have been closely aligned. There were others of course but these are the names I recall immediately. I think Francis ELLIS owned the land where Salmon Branch enters Yellow Creek which would place him right in the middle of the area I've described. There is a road along Yellow Creek today known as ELLIS Mills. It's the unusual first name you mentioned that caught my eye. I've worked on "Elcanor" PARRISH who lived on Bear Creek and "Elcanor" JAMES who lived on Dry Branch. All the creeks I mention in this post are tributaries of Yellow Creek. Most transcribers typically show the name as "Eleanor" misreading the "c" as an "e". Most PARRISH/JAMES researchers agree that Elcanor PARRISH's daughter married Enos JAMES and they named one son Elcanor JAMES. A John DICKSON lived on Raccoon Creek but died before Jan. 1823. A William ANDERSON and a Levi ANDERSON are mentioned as buying items at the sale of his estate. So did Elcanor PARRISH. There was one note for $5 owned by Allen ANDERSON. The names WHITWELL and MURRAY I do not recognize as being early Yellow Creek names. By the way....Elcanor PARRISH came to Dickson County from Person Co. NC with perhaps a short stopover in Smith Co. He moved to Perry Co. TN ca. 1824 and then to Pope Co. AR before 1840. He had many children and some children remained in Dickson, Perry and Pope Counties with at least one moving on to TX. Any of this ringing any bells? *************************************************************************** This is an automatically-generated notice.

I believe but have not proven that my wife's gr. gr. gr. grandfather Hugh DICKSON (b. ca. 1770-1774) married Mary COWAN in far East Tennessee. She was probably the daughter of Andrew COWAN whose estate was settled in Jefferson Co. TN. Hugh and Mary(?) moved to Dickson Co. TN buying land in Dickson Co. in Dec. 1803. Then a Dickson County neighbor, John DICKSON, had a daughter Margaret DICKSON who married a David COWAN. The estate record of Andrew COWAN also shows he had a young son named David and I suspect it is the same guy. I also believe but have not proven that Hugh DICKSON of Dry Branch and John DICKSON of Raccoon Creek were brothers. David COWAN and Margaret are in Humphreys Co. TN in the 1820 census but David died very young and she appears to have remarried a BOATRIGHT. But Margaret also died while her three COWAN children (one son and two daughters) were still minors. Margaret's brother, James W. DICKSON, of Carroll County, TN was named guardian of the three COWAN chldren. James W. DICKSON moved on to Red River County TX and I think one of the COWAN daughters moved to Texas as well. Anything here relate to your COWAN research? *************************************************************************** This is an automatically-generated notice.

Pavatte, since I can't find where he is buried, and it is obviously assumed that he died before his wife Rosanah remarried in March of 1851. However, according to a Family Tree archives search, there is a Conero Pavatt on the Civil War Union Soldiers Roll of Honor CD, so I searched a website on Civil War soldiers, found a Cornes T. Pavatt in the 17th Regiment Illinois Cavalry fighting for the Union. I found a cemetery in MO, where this regiment was in battle, and found Cornes F. Pavatt buried there May 11, 1864 where he died. I really think, and of course I am assuming, that this is my Connard T. Pavatt. First off, Pavatt is not a common name, Connard is not a common name, and the variations in the spelling in his first name could be errors in transcriptions. He is listed on a census record as Conero also. I also found land records for an Isaac Pavatt in St. Mary's, MD in the 1750, which is before the supposed original Isaac of Dickson Co., born Oct 1777, was born. There definately has to be a connection there. I found this on a St. Mary's website. A lot of pieces to the puzzle. I really believe he was the Isaac b. Oct 1777's son, since he named a son Isaac, there has to be a connection. Sarah *************************************************************************** This is an automatically-generated notice.

With no direct documentation of her name, I'm looking for information another Dickson/ Hickman/ Humphreys Co family might have. Seeking probate record. The Petty family appears in Hickman Co and Dickson Co records. So the marriage could have been in Hickman Co. and cousins lived in Humphreys Co. I wonder if any Hickman /Humphreys Co family has any probate records that show a married daughter with the married name Petty or any grandchildren which include W.C. "Bill" Petty or Elizabeth "Bettie" (Petty) Hedge. [Bill married Susan Deshazer from Hickman Co. Bettie married into the Hedge family who lived in Humphreys Co.] Family moved to TX? Jim Petty was the "head" of an oxen train that moved "seven brothers and cousins and their children & families" to Texas in 1848. I do not know if any of his wife's family would have made that trip. If they did, they probably settled in either Upshur Co TX or Navarro Co TX. James D. Petty b. ca 1797 Union Co SC moved with his family to Dickson Co TN on the Piney River in 1807--just north of Hickman Co line--and Pettys lived on both sides of the border. Jim's wife is a mystery. Some reseachers list her as "Sarah" but I have found no documentation to support any name. [With the help of researchers, Sarah Bramlett Petty, who was probably an Edwards, has been eliminated. This "Sarah" might be the source of the speculation that Jim's wife was named Sarah.] Jim and wife married between the census in 1820 where he was living with his parents Thomas and Jane (Darwin) Petty and 1824 when the oldest child William Carroll Petty was born on the Piney River Petty family farm. There is no record of a marriage in Dickson Co. I cannot find any documentation of his wife's name. She seems to be living at the time of the 1840 census. Here are the census records--leaving even "Mrs. Petty's" age in doubt because of two different census records for 1830 with different ages. The Pettys lived in one place, but census recorded in different counties over the years. 1810 Census Rutherford Co TN Nashville Division (Image 5) PETTY Thomas; wife Jane; 5 children including James D. age 10-15 1820 Census Records Hckman Co TN PETTY Thomas Sr.; wife Jane; 8 children including James D. age 18-26. 1830 Census Dickson Co TN (Images 13 and 45) recorded twice--duplicate census listings-census taken twice (Thomas Petty also): 1st census: 1830 Census Dickson Co TN p. 314 Ancestry Image 13/73 James Petty 1 1 0 0 0 1(30-40) 2 0 0 0 0 1(30-40) 2nd census: 1830 Census Dickson Co TN p. 330 Ancestry Image 45/73 James Petty 020001(30-40) 20001(20-30) 1840 Census Dickson Co James D.

I don't know if you have ancestry.com, but I have a subscription, and I thought I would look and see if I could find a family tree submitted that might have her on it. I lucked up and found one, but it doesn't show the submitter. It shows her as Sarah Bramlett. Shows her born abt 1802 in NC, died after 1860, married James Petty abt 1820. I will try to copy and paste the tree and e-mail it to you. Whoever did this had the Bramlett line traced back quite a way. It also lists all of the children of Sarah and James Petty, with the ones you told me about on there. If you would send me your e-mail address, I will see what I can do to send you this info. Maybe it will help some just to have her maiden name.

Researchers seem to have handed down the infomation about "Sarah" as a wife for my James D. Petty. I just wish I could find where this information came from. James owned and sold property on the Piney River in Dickson Co, just above the Hickman Co line, but no deed included a wife. With no marriage record in Dickson Co and the records lost in Hickman Co. I'm not sure we'll ever know who she was. Thanks for looking. My great aunts knew all the old family stories, I just wasn't old enough to ask enough questions--like, "who was your grandmother?" "what happened to her?" So now that information seems to be lost in time.

You'll need to turn them around to fit your starting point. "From Saint Louis, MO are to take Route 67 north through Alton and Godfrey, IL. Turn right on Route 111, which leads to Route 267 at the north edge of Godfrey. At Medora, IL, Route 111 veers to the east, stay on Route 267 going north toward Jacksonville, IL. About 10 miles north of Greenfield, IL you cross the Morgan County Line. Route 267 takes a sweeping "S" curve beginning just a few yards from the County Line. At the west end of that curve look straight ahead toward the west, you will see some gravestones among the trees. There is a tiny, hard to see, gravel road which goes west very close to the end of the curve, it's Coal Creek Road, turn left. Then immediately make another left turn on to another small gravel road that will pass on the west side of the cemetery. Make another left turn, there is a culvert in the ditch which allows access to the ce! metery. In dry weather it's safe to park just across the culvert, but you shouldn't drive further due to holes in the road. Coal Creek Road is within one mile from the Morgan County Line." I have a few questions to help place your husband. You mentioned Lawson, is this Lawson GUNN married to Mary? And do you know where they buried? This would be Lawson GUNN, son on Reuben and Mary. At the the GUNN Cemetery you will see the graves of Lawson's brothers James and John and their wives, and a lot more family members. My husband is descended from the eldest brother Charles GUNN. Also, you mentioned Dollie, is this Dollie GUNN married to Robert GUNN? I show Dollie died in Missouri, but know nothing about her husband. I believe he remarried to Almarinda GUNN? Do you know where they are buried? Thanks for any information. Donna Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Caroline.... 'Bless your heart''...............<g>....... at least for a CHANGE "I" was paying attention!<g> I am in zombi mode so much I dont 'catch' email booboos often! OK . Now we know... this is the Primal Families of the Yellow Creek Valley..... and it is a great resource. However, it is full of misinformation. Truly it is. BUT that is not a reason to avoid it. It is also FULL of correct information! Billy didnt have the resources to get photographs copied professionally so they would be crisp and clear in the book..... and he hand typed the manuscript on typing paper in his home. It was not proofed and it was very difficult for Stewart to reproduce. No one wanted to take on that project in the states. So I had to use a Canadian Publisher/Printer. When I talked to him last he said the origional manuscripts were in a box in storage someplace in his attic.... It cost me a lot of money to send the manuscript to him.... He wanted me to 'mail it back to me'...but I didnt want to pay postage.... I hope Billy's son has it now. If nothing else it is a great thing for archives of Dickson. Maybe I should follow up on this ? Caroline, can you get Billys sons phone number for me? Send it off list ok? OK, Diggers, just remember a book, any book is a great tool....and interesting reading. But OFTEN in these books information is not documented... it is hearsay.... word of mouth and for those of you that are hard line genealogists you must 'Dig' out the bottom line of the data. Billy interviewed practically everyone in Yellow Creek.... did research... was loaned photos... He did a great service for us..... and for his son to reprint PFYCV is super.... I was concerned it would be a dead deal for future Dickson Diggers to get this book.... So now maybe if this book sells Billy's son will do it again in a few years.... or his son. What I would like to see is for a reprint with revisions... but that would be a monumental task..... Probably a job for us to help him someday.... Caroline it is so good to hear from you............ and thanks for clearing up the faux pa!<g> hugs Cher > > From: "preston gilmore" <gildent@msn.com> > Date: 2007/08/05 Sun AM 06:32:44 EST > To: TNDICKSO-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: [TNDICKSO] Yellow Creek Book > > The book name I typed the "People of Yellow Creek" is actually the Primal > Families of Yellow Creek.

No problem, Caroline! Thanks for giving us a head's up about the book being reprinted. The people on this list have always been on the look-out for others---we wouldn't have known about the reprint if you hadn't posted your message. Now, enjoy your new book! Sandy Ellis

The book name I typed the "People of Yellow Creek" is actually the Primal Families of Yellow Creek. It is a reprint of the book Mr. William Nesbitt wrote. I am so sorry I typed in the wrong title name. I got the book and thought of the people on this website and was in a hurry, about to go out of town. It's the same book. Mr. Nesbitt's grandson has had the book reprinted. He ran an ad. in the local paper here and that's how I saw it. I knew many of you lived out of town and would be interested so I tried to hurry and throw the info. out before I left. But I made a boo-boo! So sorry about getting anyones hope's up for a new book. Caroline

Cher, I am trying to collect all of the books that I can on Dickson County. What about "the Old Primal Families " book that you mentioned ? I am interested in ordering a copy of the Yellow Creek Book and this Old Primal Famileis -- if they are not the same. Can you tell me how to go about getting any of these books ? Judy

I was just wondering if the 'new' Yellow Creek book was 'identical' to the old Primal Families book.... I thought it might be ...but 'twasnt sure'.... Thanks for your offer...but I am not quiet ready to dig into roots of the tree yet...

Cher, Are you looking for info. to put in the Dickson County Tennessee Book ? I have lots of Rogers sometimes spelled Rodgers, Goodwin, and many other names in that area around 1820 --- before and after.
