Pat & Sarah, According to a note from a Lloyd Reagan Peter Reagan and his four sons lived in the naked Creek area of Wilkes Co. untill 1818. On July 27 1818, Peter Reagan purhased 102 acres on south side of Obeds Rver from John McIver of Fairfax, VA for $50.00. The land purchased in the section of Ovrto Co is today known as the Beaty town Community of Fentress.

Really need to go see her she will be 98 yrs. old on Oct 7 of this year, she and my mother were born in the same year. Remember going down there many times as a young girl and even into adulthood. I have a lot of happy childhood memories from down there. Wilma always said our family came to TN about 1818 and had never even thought about the 1812 notation in Hogue's book, they would have had to been there then. Will dig out the book and send what it says to you. Sorry I keep saying dig out and look for it, but 3 yrs ago my husband and I bought a 27 ft. travel trailer and that is what we live in on a campground, we love it. But most of information is in a storage unit and some is with me. Am never sure what is with me or in the unit. Think the last date I have is 1806 on one of the deeds, it has Peter and Nancy's name on it. I could not find Peter Jr. in census for 1800 or 1810. And haven't found him on any papers in TN before 1820 census. I didn't see the book by John you are talking about, wish I had. Agree with you we each have a lot of information and putting it together might solve our mystery. Do you know if they have papers on the War of 1812 at archives here in NC, found a Capt. James Findley and Charles Rygen from Wilkes, think this might be Peter Jrs. brother. Pat ==== TNFENTRE Mailing List ==== Does Anyone Ever Read the Taglines ???
