Diana and List: Diana responded to a message from Ann (don't see an address) in which Ann mentioned a "Jeremiah WALKER" of Jefferson Co. TN. I am wondering if this Jeremiah WALKER could be related to James WALKER who married Fanny KENNON (purported sister to Thomas KENNON/CANNON who married James WALKER'S sister, Rachel WALKER). Jeremiah KENNON/CANNON was the purported father of Fanny and Thomas KENNON/CANNON. These KENNONS and WALKERS were in Jefferson Co. TN at some time. Further, Thomas and Rachel WALKER KENNON'S purported son, John KENNON, married Nancy TAYLOR in Henry/Pittsylvania Co. VA ca 1792; their daughter, Elizabeth KENNON, married Hughes Owen TAYLOR in VA (Nancy and Hughes Owen TAYLOR were the children of James and [Nancy] Ann OWEN TAYLOR of VA to Grainger Co. TN ca late 1790s). Thanks!

I would suggest looking for the the Pattersons that were there in the early 1800's in Grainger. I know that there was a John Patterson. There weren't that many that it would be hard. One of them is probably the father. What Pattersons did he live near? Have you searched all censuses for Pattersons? Who had a son in the right age bracket in 1830? How you searched all land records for Pattersons. Many times the father sells or practically gives land away to the sons. Good luck. Diana ______________________________
