The only history I have ever heard is that Dickson did not exist until Union Civil War forces built a logging camp on the railroad from Nashville to Memphis. I thought Dickson was named for a resident (union sympathizer) in the area. I've never heard of a Davidson county/Dickson county naming connection. I was born in Dickson in '50. Have lived in Davidson County for 30 years. Have never done any historical research on the counties. Have no other info. jr > William DICKSON, Jr. of "Davidson Co."

Does any one know who Jones Creek was named for? Also, location of Jones Creek in Dickson Co? Was it located in the area of Turnbull Creek?
