1st of all thanks Pat! 2nd, I've been reviewing some deed transactions (circa 1830's) and I'm just curious if anyone out there is familiar with any of the following names - John Edwards, Henry Ross, Walter Barnett, James Ivy/Ives? I'm only interested in all of these names sa they are mentioned in land transactions concerning my Galloways in an area of Dickson on the "Chickasaw Trace Creek of Big Harpath River" [road from Charlotte to Nashville]. The only name I suspect is related to my Galloways is Walter Barnett. exctract from deed, "...there is granted by the state unto James Galloway assignee of Walter Barnett a certain tract or parcel of land containing 100 acres....." also in another extract, " ...thence west crossing said Barnett's corner of his 50 acres..." These 2 exctracts tell me 2 things; 1 - James Galloway (eldest son of John Galloway and Sarah [Barnett] Galloway was given a deed that belonged to Walter Barnett. When I researched the grants it list James Galloway as claiming. The 2nd extract also tells me that W. Barnett had an additional 50 acres in Dickson that bordered the 100 James got. The funny thing is, I can find no Walter Barnett in Dickson Co on census or any other land deeds! Does anyone have any thoughts? --- Canopy2@aol.com wrote: > Michael, I am new to my HALL line, and don't > recognize the WILLIAM HALL that > you are inquiring about, that does not mean that > they are not connected.
