Cher and other List Members, The 80's publication is going to be a collection of letters written and published in the Dickson Herald in the 1930's. These letters were written to the Herald in the 1930's time frame by people that were of the age of 80 years or older. This book is in the process of being put together and there are still some details that will have to be worked out. Thank you for your interest in the history and genealogy of Dickson County.

Bobby: I would love to have a copy of the "Over Eighty" book. I live in Dayton, Ohio, and my family contributed Hedge, Gunn & Coleman stories to the upcoming Dickson County book. Just let us know what the cost of the Over Eighty book will be. You might think about having a "publication party" (if you haven't already) on a weekend following delivery of the Dickson book, so that all of the contributors, genealogists, etc can come to Dickson and pick up their copies. It would be nice to meet other Dickson people who are involved. Those of us from out of town will need for the party to be on a weekend and a little bit of notice.

CHARLES EDWARD1 LEECH was born Bet. 1731 - 1735 in Scotland. He married SARAH PATTERSON 1776 in Philadelphia Pa. Notes for CHARLES EDWARD LEECH: 2. Charles Edward Leech was born in Scotland and died in 1815 in Dickson County. General Notes: Charles Edward Leech came to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from Scotland about 1748. One record says he settled in Chester County, Pennsylvania in the 1760's or 1770's. He was married to Sarah Patterson in Philadelphia about 1776. Sarah was a sister to Mary, who was the mother of Montgomery Bell. When Charles Edward Leach immigrated form Scotland, his brother Duncan probably came with him. Duncan was born around 1731-1735 and married around 1776. All that is known about his family is that Duncan drowned in the New York Harbor during the Revolutionary War. According to A History of Dickson County, by Robert E Corlew, Montgomery Bell offered to sell Edward a one thousand acre tract of land on Johnson's Creek in Dickson County, Tennessee. Edward declined the offer. Bell then offered to exchange the property in Tennessee for Edwards property in Pennsylvania and convinced Edward he was getting the better land. Having never been to the area, he took Bell at his word and agreed to exchange properties with him. When he reached Dickson County he discovered the property was in no way what Bell had represented to him. On the other hand, Bell made a very good profit on the Pennsylvania land. In Dickson County Deeds, Book B, pages 37-38, there is mention of the land from Montgomery Bell to Edward Leach. It gives bond for ten thousand dollars and was registered July 24, 1812. Edward died in Dickson Children of CHARLES LEECH and SARAH PATTERSON are: i. LOVEY2 LEECH. ii. DUNCAN LEECH. iii. JACOB LEECH, b. 1778. iv.

This is what I can tell you about John Johnson below He is the son of Hudson Johnson of Bartons Creek in Dickson Co. Tn. ( Administration of the will and properties he received) Hudson Johson's wife is Agness who was born 1740-1750 unknown Where Hudson Johnson's traval Route is North Carolinia unknown at this time in 1776 he is living in Henry Co. Va with one William Johnson of Bufallo Creek and their neighbor is Rowland Chiles. The first lands bought by a Johnson are on Benjamin Johnson in Halifax Co. Va, then his next buys of Land are recorded in Lunenburg Co and ? for Buffalo Creek. Hudson Johnson lived by James Johnson in Henry Co. Va. the rev. Thomas Murrell re married the widow of this James Johnson and they with Hudson Johnson moved to Carter Valley Washington Co. NC in 1783, these lands are now in Hawkins County Tn. Hudson Johnson's wife Agness along with the James Bartlett Simms family attend the church of Rev. Thomas Murrell and his wife Rebekah Elizabeth Martin Murrell who married James Johnson in 1766 per Douglas register of St. Peter's Parish Hudson Johnson about 1800 to 1803 moved to Lands that were in what was then Williamson County Tn which have split a couple of times since then. SO I have not been able to locate where they exactly lived. Rev. Thomas Murrell moved to Williamson Co. Tn to be by his brothers in this same time era. Hudson Johnson bought lands on Bartons Creek Stewart Co. in 1803 and by the time they got to Barton's Creek it is Dickson Co. Tn. Rev. Thomas Murrell and his wife also moved about 1 year later to Dickson Co. tn. Hudson Johnson had two known children one is by John Johnson and wife of Hurricane Creek who in 1803 Dickson Co. bought the properties on Hurricane Creek. Anne Johnson in 1850 census is born abt 1770 in Virginia she is John Johnson wife some time about 1837 she is a widow. still living in District with the folks they came with from Georgia. Ann is a Aunt to the wife of Elijah Dodson-Dotson of Humphreys Co. Tn who lives right beside Ann Johnson in 1850 census. I have lots of info on Dodson Dotson Dobson families in tracing them backwards. Mary "Polly" Johnson Shropshire the sister to John Johnson is married to Joel Shropshire: He is off Seymour Samier Shropshire whose families are from lands that in 1790 are in Rockingham County NC. I can not locate their marriage information. The Shropshire's are ascociated with the Matrimony Primitive Baptist Church which I now know was on Buffalo Creek in Rockingham County Va. Samier Shropshire and Jan Murrell left the matrimony Baptist Church and went back to lands on the Rockfish River (This is where I find that Len Henley Johnson of Humphreys Co. comes from) His Grandmother is on Susannah Turner Granddaughter of Terisha Turner known as the Ancient and yes Terisha Turner and Seymour Shropshire are neighbors in lands of AMherst Co. in 1780 era. these lands are now in Nelson Co. Va. James Bartlett Simms cousins are found beside Len Henly Johnson's grandfather Terisha Johnson & uncles on Nutbush Creek in what is Mecklenburg Co. Va and present day Vance Co. formed from Granville, to Bute to Warren Co. NC. Interesting fact is the Simms Family founded a Settlement in Limestone Ala. This is where Hiram McElye'a of Humphreys Co. ( Deer Creek) father lived before moving in 1830 era to Franklin Co. Tn where Hugh Patrick filed out his Rev. War Application. James Bartlett Simms the neighbor of Hudson Johnson in Carter's Valley died in the Simm's Settlement in Limestone Ala. These Simms families or Symes families are off the same Lines as James Syme the 1/2 brother of Patrick Henry married to ? Dandridge the cousin of Martha Dandridge married to general George Washington. Whose Cousin's the Hailes off Nicholas Haile married to Hannah Ball are in Humphreys and Dickson Co. Tn. Now rev. St. Rohn Shropshire was the minister in 1698-1703 to the fore fathers of President George Washington, and to General James Randolph Robertson (Christopher Robinson). St. John Shropshire is the Colonial Roots of Joel Shropshire married to mary Polly Johnson.

Have you found that any of your group of Hurricane Creek families came through Lincoln County, NC? I've been trying to trace the migratory routes of a variety of my ancestors, using the trails available at the time. The Lomaxes came up from eastern Georgia where they lived at the end of the Revolutionary War. It's thought that Samuel (the father who came north with the Buggs) was possibly a person who left the British Army to join the Patriots. Both he and John Bugg (families joined through marriage before moving to TN) both received land grants in GA before selling and moving north. Charles W. Brown showed up in records first in western NC records where he was in estate records for his future wife's family. He and his future wife (Elizabeth Felker) and many of her relatives moved into TN where they married in Davidson County in 1812 before moving to Hurricane Creek in Humphreys by the mid 1830s. Their descendants lived in Humphreys until possibly this day, although my line moved back to Davidson County in the second decade of the 20th century after my Ggrandfather (Robert Wesley Brown's) accidental death at the age of 40. I was thinking that a William Brown might have been Charles's father as he signed as a witness to the first deed I found in Humphreys County and his own kids were too young. also he named his oldest son William Riley Brown, but the facts aren't conclusive. It would be great to find that he traveled from the area that you found the other Humphreys families, but it is so difficult to trace someone with the last name of Brown! I do appreciate any info you share and will be happy to check my records for any certain names if you'd like.

Tony, You have several of my ancestors listed in your notes, in particular Charles W. Brown and William Lomax. Charles Brown came to Davidson County, TN from Lincoln County, NC around 1820 and then appears on the tax roll in Humphreys for the first time (that I've found) in 1837. After that date I have several records for him. He appears to have died before 1866. Charles's son Russell married the daughter of William Lomax (son of Samuel Lomax from England). Would you care to share your notes that contain Charles W. Brown or William Lomax? I also noticed an Ezekiel Brown. To this date, I have not been able to find out who Charles's father is although I've been able to identify his wife Elizabeth Felker's ancestors pretty far back. I don't think I have any info on Shropshire, but I'll take a look at my folder with the copies of original records.

Reverend St. John Shropshire is also the minister to the Dr. John Lawson and Sarah Rowland families, who are inter married to Rev. Thomas Murrell families and the Guillam lines of Colonial Virginia. Rev. St. John Shrophire is also the minister to the families connected to Peter De Montague ( 1640 era) which will be the families of Ceciley Reynolds-Bayley-Jordon-Farrer-De Montague and Parker Rev. St John Shropshire's widow remarried a Mr. Stonehouse who I believe to be Thomas Stonehouse who lived by Francis Thornton and John Thornton, these lands will become Culpepper County Va by 1750 era. The reason I believe this is Thomas Stonehouse, he lives on the Same river and creek where Rev. St. John Shropshire owned lands Francis and John Thornton are also related to General George Washington as their sister married Samuel Washington the ½ brother of General George Washington. Also John Thornton from this family married Sarah Eaton the daughter of Col Eaton of Granville Co. NC after his death she re married one Charles Johnston of Bute County which had just formed from Granville County these lands will go into Warren Co. NC then into Vance County NC Culpepper County is the home of my Boone families which married ? McElyea in NC and has the lines of Hiram McElyea in Humphreys County Tn. Temperance Bayley daughter of Ceciley Reynolds will marry one LTC Richard Cocke who was also married to Mary Ashton daughter of Walter Ashton of Colonial Virgina. This also connects the lines of Daniel Clarke of Sellars Creek to the lines of LTC Richard Cocke as he married the widow Mary Ashton Hill Cocke. They owned properties on Sellar's run where we find the early families of Reverend Thomas Murrell of Dickson Co. Tn in 1690, Before his family lines move to Byrd Creek, in 1730 era, also to Tuckahoe Creek and Beaver Dam Creek. These creeks are the home of the Michael Johnson ( my Dna) the Matlocks, The Lawson Families of Pagan Creek. The Mayo families of Humphreys and Dickson Co. Tn Interesting note: Edward Oliver is the First I can find of Rev. Thomas Murrell's family in Surry County in 1640 era and he is married to Female Rowland and owns lands on Upper Chipoake Creek in Charles City Co, which goes into Surry Co Va. When it is formed The Guillams of Colonial Virgina also live on Sellars Creek as Does one Daniel Clarkee married to the widow of LTC Richard Cocke Rev. St. John Shropshire is also the minister to the families of Hannah Ball daughter of Joseph Ball who married Peter De Montague's daughter who was married to Thomas Payne, a ? Johnson, then to Joseph Ball and then to a Mr. Hues of Hughs. Hannah Ball will marry Judge Nicholas Haile whose off spring are found in Dickson and Humphreys County Tn. Peter De Montague's families are also found in Humphreys and Dickson County Tn. Notes: Peter De Montague's family is the lines of President George Washington as Joseph Ball & Mary De Monatgue's daughter is Mary Ball : This connects the Colonial Curtis and cousin lines of President Washington thru his grandparents: So the Haile Lines of Humphreys County are also the cousin's of President Washington as are the lines coming off Col. Arthur Allen and his wife Alice Tucker of Colonial Virginia, which are the Williamson, Box and Mayo lines of Williamson County Tn, Humphreys and Dickson Co. Tn, Judge: Nicholas Haile's families ( era 1690- on) are also in the Church that Rev. St. John Shropshire ministers too. Also of note this Shropshire line is married to the Burgess families of Davidson Co. Tn. This line of Joel Shropshire is married to Mary Polly Johnson daughter of Hudson Johnston and wife Agness of Bartons Creek in Dickson Co. Tn Notes: William May (father of Dempsey May who still lives at 92), William Lomax, Joseph Shouse, Drury Taylor, Charles Brown and John Johnson from Georgia and John Hales, Jonathan May, William and Henry Hunter who settled on Tumbling Creek.

We have Elizabeth "Bettie" BROWN, b. 1803 to John Andrew BROWN and Martha "Patsy" GILBERT, marrying Archibald CATHEY, b. 1803. Elizabeth's niece, Susan E. "Sookie" BROWN, was born about 1839 to Joshua BROWN (Elizabeth's brother) and Mary HALL. Sookie married Archibald CATHEY's nephew, Arch CATHEY, born about 1836 to Joshua CATHEY and Lucy HALL. Other children born to John Andrew BROWN and Patsy GILBERT were: John Squire BROWN, b. 1801; Solomon BROWN, b. 1806; Alfred BROWN, b. 1809; and James Madison BROWN, b. 1813. Do you think that these BROWNS might be part of the family that you are researching? I have not found a connection, nor have I found out who John Andrew BROWN's parents were. I am hoping that someone else researching the BROWN family might have found connections to our BROWN family. Would love to hear from anyone researching any of these families.
