The Ralph Payne is born in 1590 some how when I was looking at Notes I miss typed this. I do not have the wills at this time, on these folks just adding notes as I go, on who was on this property of Byrd Creek as the Hawkins and the Matlocks are mine, and this is also the family roots were Rev. Thomas Murrell of 1782 lead a group of Settlers into the Carters Valley Settlement of what was the Washington Co. NC now Hawkins County Tn. The Lawson surname is also in the research of Janet G. whose family of Lawson's and Johnson's of Hawkins County Tn has a Hudson Johnson in it. It is my firm belief that these families area a CLAN they married inside of their CLAN, they moved as A CLAN into new area's but they kept the marriage's with in the CLAN. The Matlocks are married into the Johnson, The Sheldon's, which are married into the Henry Families again coming back to the Dandridge Families and to George Washington's families and the Simms I would like to have bits and pieces any one has on the Horsely families and Lawson families to add to the Byrd Creek Families. 3 William Lawson b: Bef. 1489 in Cramlington, Newcastle-on-Tyne-, England d: Aft. 1518 ..... +Unknown Horsely b: Bef. 1619 In the Nutbush Creek Report you will find the Sims families beside Terisha Johnston in his lands deeds of 1790 and before, along with the Eaton Family, um William Eaton in 1640-1650 Era is right beside Henry Rowen whose lands will go into Nansemond County when it forms. Henry Rowen is the First wife of Alice who re married John Watson whose daughter re married on Michael Johnson did 1718 on Tuckahoe Creek. When Hudson Johnston bought lands in Carters Valley from STOCKLEY DONelDSON son of Col. John Donelson co founder of the Washugual Settlement his lands were beside a Sims and a Igram who I believe is William Ingram and one James Bartlett Simms. When Hudson Johnston comes to Barton's Creek wow there is one General James Randolph Robertson owner of the Iron Furnance who is a William Hatcher descendant. Whose father sold John Johnson in 1750 era of Brunswick Co. the ands on Nutbush Creek. Notes: Robert Burton and Edward hatcher 3rd owned lands on Tuckahoe Creek. Notes General James Randolph Robertson Families start of in Lancaster and Middlesex Co. Va. by the Lawson, The Balls, etc. then they are in the same Church where the rev. St. John Shropshire is ministering in in 1698 era. Joel Shropshire is the County recorder for hawkins County tell 1803 when he and wife Mary Polly Johnson move to Barton's Creek in what becomes Dickson Co. Tn. to be by her Father Hudson Johnson and mother Agness Johnson, then Rev. Thomas Murrell will follow by 1806. Peter De Montague's lands beside Ralph Payne, the Lawson Families, the Washington, the William Johnson Families, John Lawson etc on the Pagan Creek report lands of Peter De Montague will go into Nansemond Co but his neighbors lands will be in Middlesex County and Lancaster Co in 1650-1680 era.
