Boy, do you have a challenge! I bump into the names RYE and WEAVER frequently but have not worked either surname in any detail. There are numerous RYE's currently in prominent positions in Houston Co. TN which was formed from Dickson, Stewart & Humphreys Counties in 1871. There was a fellow named Lucian RYE who lived near our farm on Yellow Creek. My wife remembers him and his son. A fellow with the surname WEAVER who lives on Yellow Creek is working with us today on the farm. I don't know his ancestry. I've got two WEAVER's of interest. Hartwell WEAVER who married a DICKSON in Montgomery Co. TN in the 1820's. I'm trying to figure out how the wife is connected to my DICKSON line of interest. Benjamin WEAVER, a name of which I've just become aware. He was born in the 1840's probably the son of a Penelope WEAVER with father unknown. However, he appears to be more of a Cumberland City (previously known as Bowling Green) guy on Wells Creek. He appears in the Stewart County censuses of 1850, 1860 & 1870. Then he married in Houston County and is found in Houston Co. in later censuses. He probably was living in that part of Stewart County that became part of Houston Co. in 1871. Either of the two WEAVER guys ring any bells with you? The Houston county historian could probably help you with the RYE group. Let me know if you would like to make contact with her.

You have much more information than I on the PARKERs. Since I don't think Levin DIXON and Hugh DICKSON were related, I haven't tried to work Levin's line to any extent. Just what I've found on the internet. I don't think the Maryland Will naming a Hugh DICKSON refers to our Hugh. Our guy appears as a young married male in Dickson County ca. 1803 signing the Petition that resulted in Dickson County being formed. He bought land on Dry Branch (a tributary of Yellow Creek in 1803) and that tract of land is intact and still in the family to this day. As best I can figure, our Hugh DICKSON came to this area from Greene or Jefferson Counties in East Tennessee. I'm almost certain he is related somehow to the DICKSON guys who came here from Duplin Co. NC but I haven't been able to find the connnection. Most people say he was the son of Joseph DICKSON and Jane MOLTON from Duplin Co. NC but he wasn't. Two different Hugh's. Levin doesn't appear connected to this group but who knows? Finally, the Dickson Co. deed records and wills I have did not come off the internet. I found them at the archives in Charlotte by looking at the original deed books and probate files. Linda "PARKER" is the Archivist for Dickson Co. You can find the telephone Number and address for the Dickson Co. Archives on the internet. *************************************************************************** This is an automatically-generated notice.

Hi Rick, I have Richard Hudson and Henry Hudson in the 1600's in VA. Too early, I think, but there is a John Hudson b. about 1750, brother to William C.

He was an executor for his father in law's will (John Camp m. to Unknown or Mary. Judy Arthur

To all of you Hudson researchers--I need some help with a James Hudson. He is listed in the 1820 census, and is between Austin (Augustine) Richardson and Barthalomew Smith. I don't think he is the James Hudson md to Winifred Lane. Any help would be appreciated.

I can't remember if I've asked you this or not in the past, but do you know of a Carolyn Hudson who married William Baker in Dickson Co.,TN.? She was my wife's gggrandmother. I believe Carolyn had a brother by the name of Christopher, who would have been three years younger than her. I also have other names of John, William, Richard, Henry. Could this be the same line?

I would like a copy of settling Levin's estate. Are those deed records on a website? I am aware of the Parker connection. I recently purchased a book "Return: The Parker Story" by Jack Selden in Palestine, TX. He has been a great help. Richmond's first wife, Zerelda Anglin, was my husband's 3rd gr grandmother. She married two other men, Stephen Bennett and then John VanDyke Gossett. I knew that Richmond died in a hunting accident, but it wasn't until last week whenever someone responded to my request on the FindAGrave site with a picture of her grave with all three husbands listed did I discover that he was killed by indians. They had 2 girls, Mary Ann and Martha. Martha has been a mystery until Jack gave me her line. Her husband, Wm Eldridge Parker was a son of Isaac Parker. I do not know where Richmond is buried, nor any of the other 2 husbands????? Mary Ann married George Washington Parks (my husbands line). She is buried in Snyder, TX., but we do not know about George. He is supposed to be in Anderson or Crockett, TX, but I haven't located him, yet. Their markers may no longer be around, too. I do not know anything about Hugh. I do show on a Maryland Will Index a Nathaniel Dixon, Sr. with chldren: Ambrose P., William, Samuel, Hugh, Mary. Is this your Hugh? All three of Zerelda's husbands were together and instrumental in the creation of the The Republic of Texas. I have unfortunately let too many people die before I discovered much of their information.

Some more of my thought out loud LOL with some facts this time Okay Joseph Johnson of Archurs Hope owns lands that abut John Johnson of James City, in 1626 John Johnson Yeoman Owns Lands by Gabriel Holland "Ancient Planter" Going up into the Weyanoke Parish we find Capt. Joseph Johnson, Capt. Jesse Johnson who owned Lands in Weyanoke Parish 1630-1650 era as did Henry Rowen first husband of one Alice who re married one John Watson whose daughter Married one Michael Johnson who we are connected to by DNA testing. In the Weynoke Parish is also William Eaton, Col. William Byrd, Edward Oliver, Thomas Wheeler, We also know that John Johnson Planter and his brother in law Edward Travis own lands in 1620-1640 era that are in Weyanoke Parish as are lands owned by Rice Hoe (sometimes spelled howe) We also know that Capt. John Ward's lands of 1619 of Martin's Brandon are in the Weyanoke Parish. It appears his grandson one Edward Hatcher (2) in 1690 with Robert Burton are on Lands of Tuckahoe Creek. Edward Hatcher is also the Grandson of William Hatcher b 1613 in England and lands are on Swift Creek in what becomes Henirco Co. Va. The William Hatcher families include the Colonial families of Branch, Ward, Elam, Farmer, Burton, Stovall, all marrying their cousin's. We also know that in the Weyanoke Parish lands are owned by Capt. Joseph Johnson and Capt. Jesse Johnson We know that Edward Oliver is the Lines of Reverend Thomas Murrell who died in 1728 Dickson County Tn as did our Hudson Johnson a matching line to the descendants of Michael Johnson died 1718 on Tuckahoe Creek. We know that your Mother's lines My Aunt ( married to my dads brother) in Humphreys and Dickson County come off Wm. Byrd of Weyanokee Parish who is married to a Jenning's Lets go back up to John Johnson Yeoman and Edward Travis for a minutes: Edward Travis buys lands from Suzannah Chiles who is a widow in 1688 era. Capt. Joseph Johnson and Walter Chiles are partners with Rice Hoe and ? Walker in the discovery of new lands. Joseph Johnson is a repeating name in the descendants of Michael Johnson died 1718 on Tuckahoe Creek We also know that John Johnson Yeoman owns lands by Gabriel Holland whose family moves unto lands that will become Nansemond County Va. when it is formed. I did to check on the Connections of Michael Holland of St. Peters Parish and land owner of lands in St. Paul's Parish. I do know in 1666 Michael Holland was born to a John Holland in NANSEMOND CO. VA We also know that lands of the Weyanoke River which is most of the Area's of Weyanoke River will form into Midddlesex, Lancaster and Nansemond County. that is where we know, the lands of Thomas Wheeler, Henry Rowen and William Eaton will land up as they are on Mathews Creek of the Weyanoke River. We know the lands of John Johnson Planter and Edward Travis in 1652 will go into Surry County as did the lands of Edward Oliver whose daughter Elizabeth Oliver married Thomas Murrell who moved to Byrd Creek which is part of the Tuckahoe Creek Drainage. We also know that Walter Cocke who owns lands by these people in 1702 brings in a George Hooper to the Colonies. George Hooper is found later on Lands of Rockfish River beside the Cabell Families ( need to recheck this) But the Rockfish River is where the descendants of Terisha Johnston ( Len Henley Johnson of Humphreys County). Can be traced back to on his Terisha Turner side. Len Henley Johnson's side of the families off Lenoard Henley is living upon Byrd Creek as is Rev. Thomas Murrell's families. Lenoard Henley also ties back to Nicholas Henly ( I think he is from Nansemond Co. did to check) Almost Forgot the lines of Peter De Montague who owns lands off the Bennett Setllement, which becomes Middlesex County. Lancaster and Nansemond County, his daughter married a ? Johnson, The De Monatgue's are connected to LTC Richard Cocke married to Temperance Bayley) whose mother is Cecilly Reynolds. Peter De Montague is the Great grandfather of General George Washington. Whose families are on the areas of the Bennett settlement in 1620. We know that John Ward, John Martin and Edward Johnson ( Of Strawberry Banckes) are in the same census in 1624 Lands beyond the Hampton of Elizabeth City. John Ward and Edward Johnson ( Strawberry Banckes) are both in the living list of Indian Thickett in 1623 Back to Byrd Creek and its connecting Creek: We have numerous lines that come from there into Humphreys and Dickson Co. Tn. ( Matlock, Mayo, Hatcher, Wards, Burton, Branch) LOL WHERE HAVE WE SEEN THE ABOVE SURNAME BEFORE of Hooper, Wheeler, Turner, Jennings All I am doing is following travel Patterns of Reverend Thomas Murrell and some of our other lines that Come nto Humphreys and Dickson Co.

My wife's ancestor was a fellow I call Dry Branch Hugh DICKSON. He does not seem to be related to Levin in any way but they both lived in Dickson County in the same era. My perception is that Levin lived near Charlotte whereas our Hugh DICKSON lived on Yellow Creek. I'm certain about the location of Hugh because we currently live on that land but I've not really tried to pinpoint Levin's land. Somewhere I have a record of Levin's son Richmond returning from Indiana (or was it Illinois?) to settle some of his father's estate. Source was Dickson County deeds as I recall. If you would like to discuss this further please feel free to contact me by email. You are probably aware of the relationship of this PARKER line to the massacre at Ft. Parker in TX and the abduction of Cynthia Ann PARKER and the birth of her son Chief Quannah PARKER. Russ James of Houston Co.

Scanning lists, I find George William Wall, born 1855, with a wife, Alice. One lister mentioned him having sons Esquire, Burbon, etc. My father had two older brothers he called S.Q. and Burven. S.Q. Wall was a Marine in WW I and died here in Evansville, IN in or about 1935-6 of tuberculosis. My father bought his grave and had his headstone engrave with 'Slayden Esquew Wall.' His other brother was Burven, or Burvin Wall, who in his later life lived in Clarksville, TN,where my father visited him sometime before his death. Russell Wall, my father, mentioned only two female names for three people of importance to him in his life. He said that his mother died when he was a child, of rheumatism, (rhuematic arthritis, maybe?) and he was reared by his stepmother. He seemed to love her, but never, in my memory told me her name. The two names he mentioned were Alice Bow and Belle Doll. I may have found Alice, but where is Belle Doll? If George William Wall had a wife, Alice in 1910, she would be his 2nd wife, my father's stepmother. I can't find Belle Doll, though there are enough of them on the lists. I can't connect them with my best prospects for her husband. I suspect that either William Thomas Wall, b. in Dickson, 1848, or Jesse Burgess Wall, b. Dickson Co., 1847. Neither are shown to have a wife named Belle, but it could have been a nickname. I wonder if Jesse Burgess Wall is the same person as the 23 year-old J.B. Wall, who was wounded in or near Williamsburg, VA, kept in hospital there for a month, then released for active duty again. He, too, was from Dickson Co. and he was in the 8th Cavalry, commanded by Baxter-Smith. I lean toward Jesse as George Wm's father, because another loose name I have rolling around in my memory is Jesse, but I don't remember if he was a brother of my father's or an uncle. Do any of these names fit together better for someone else? Sincerely puzzled, but curious now, Marilyn Wall Durham *************************************************************************** This is an automatically-generated notice.
