Joe, Margaret C. Fowler and Augustus Whitlow were my g/grandparents. David Augustus Fitzellen Whitlow, b. 1850, d. 1907., was married to Margaret C. Fowler, b. 1856, d. 1947. The marriage record was recorded as follows: A. F. Whitlow married to Maggie Fowler with the license being obtained and the marriage occurring on the same date, 8 January 1880. Witnesses: A. F. Whitlow and E. D. Alexander. Official: D. A. Baxter, J. P. Augustus, "Gus" was born on the family farm at his father's residence which was located where the old Savannah-Carrolsville Road crosses Indian Creek near the confluence of Whitlow and Indian Creeks. The Whitlow family had settled at that particular site because Gus' grandfather, Henderson Whitlow was a miller and gin man and operated a water mill and a cotton gin at this site. The first mill in Hardin County operated by Henry Garner and the first cotton gin in the county operated by Harrison Tompkins were located on what was eventually to become the Whitlow farm. Henderson Whitlow eventually took over the operation of the above mentioned facilities. After Gus' grandfather died in 1841, his father, Milton, continued the family business and over the next 40 years established a large farm operation which eventually included more that 800 acres on both sides of Indian Creek near where Popular Springs road now crosses said creek. Being born in 1850, Gus was too young to fight in the Civil War. His allegiances were not known, however as with the young men of his age, he may have leaned to the Union side. His oldest brother, Oscar Edwin, and brother-in-law, G. W. Blackwelder, joined the Confederate army in 1861 and wee both dead within three months. In 1863, a second brother, Granville, joined the Union Army and was stationed with the 2nd Mounted Infantry at Clifton Tennessee. This change of allegiance may have been brought about by the fall of Shiloh which brought Hardin County under Union Control very early in the war. He may have been influenced by his brother-in-law, Samuel R. Allen, who was surely pro-union with sons being named Sherman and Grant. In 1870 Milton Whitlow died and Gus became the head of household at the age of 19. Living there also was an older sister, Emily, a younger sister, Amanda, and a younger brother, James Buchannon, who was an invalid as the result of a fall from a horse. The 1870 census of the 14th Civil District of Hardin County shows this household and others of his family as follows: 73 Augustus Whitlow 19 TN Emily 26 TN Amanda 15 TN Buckhanon 12 TN 68 Granville Whitlow 24 TN Calista 24 TN George Blackwelder 8 TN 71 Lewis Owens 28 TN Sally (Whitlow) 28 TN Martha 9 TN William 5 TN Amos Duckworth 34 72 Samuel Allen 39 KY Harriet (Whitlow) 35 TN Milton 11 TN Sally 6 TN Sherman 4 TN Grant 1 TN In the 2nd Civil district 01 M. J. Whitlow 21 TN Sarah W. (Alexander) 18 TN 03 Margaret W. Polk Whitlow age 49 is shown living with here son-in-law, James C. Wells. Margaret was the widow of Thomas A. Polk who had married Milton Whitlow shortly before he died in 1870. The next decade saw many changes in the family On the 8th of January 1880, Gus married Margaret Catherine Fowler, the daughter of Sterling and Eliza Bain Fowler of the Mt. Herman community. In 1870, Amanda Whitlow married Perviance Alexander and they moved to llinois where their oldest child, Florence, was born in 1871. However, they moved back to Tennessee in 1874 where their two sons, Oscar and Uley T., were born. Also, in about the year 1870, Emily Whitlow married Amos Duckworth. In about 1880, Samuel R. Allen and wife, Harriet Whitlow Allen, moved across the Tennessee River to the Hookers Bend Community and about a year or so later, Milton J. Whitlow and Winnie Alexander Whitlow moved to Arkansas.

Gus and a partner, perhaps a relative, established a store at Wells Landing on the Tennessee River. The business failed, the partner skipped and Gus was was left to pay the debt which was done. Between 1880 and 1890, Gus and Maggie had 6 children, 5 of which live to adulthood. In order they were: Nora, b. Oct. 1880; Otis, b. Sept. 1882; Ulva, b. Nov. 1884; Wheeler, b. July 1886; Charley, b. Oct., 1, 1889; and Charley's twin, Barney who survived birth by about a month, died Nov. 1, 1889 and is buried at Harmony Cemetery. Gus and his family lived at Cross Roads until 1900 at which time they sold their property there and moved to a 300 acre farm on Turkey Creek located about 4 miles east of Savannah. When Gus sold out at Cross Roads, he excluded from the sale a one acre tract to be used by the community for a School. The site today is used by the Union Church, the school being abandoned many years ago. Gus did not live long on his Turkey Creek farm. In 1907 he died from complications of heart disease leaving his widow and children to run the family farm. The oldest child Nora, born 01 October 1880, died 09 August 1965, attended Freed Hardeman College, and was a school teacher in the Porters Community. She was married six times. The names of here husbands were: Levin Banks, David Jerome Porter, Hardeman Perkins, John Hoover, W. Gentry Hester, and Dr. Sam Noel. Aunt Nora did not have any children. The oldest son, Otis, born in September 1882, attended Freed Hardeman College and Vanderbilt University, became a Doctor and had a practice at Cerro Gordo and then Savannah in Hardin County until his death in 1956. About the time he began pratcice, he married Mamie Callens, born 1889, died 1991. They built a white frame house at Cerro Gordo which is now owned by Clytie Fitts Jennings, a second cousin of Dr. Whitlow. Uncle Otis and Aunt Mamie moved from Cerro Gordo to a house on the family farm on Turkey Creek in the teens. They had children named as follows: Raymond, Murray, unnamed son, Barney, Gus, Martha and Margaret. Ulva Whitlow was the third child born in November of 1884. Ulva was married to Thella Hitchcock, born 1888, died 1955. The couple had 5 children: Hubert, Alton, Glenn, unnamed daughter, and Ancil Whitlow. Uncle Ulva was a farmer, worked as a clerk in Hughes' store and in later years became active in local politics. He served as the Hardin County Court Clerk for several years before his death in 1951. Child number 4, Wheeler Whitlow, born in July of 1886, died 29 may 1925, was married to Belle Paulk. Uncle Wheeler, at a very young age, became ill and was not able to work on the farm. The family built a store south of the Old Town Road about 100 yards east of the Old Whitlow home place which was run by Uncle Wheeler until his death. After Wheeler's death, Aunt Belle moved to Savannah where she was a school teacher for many years. They had children named as follows: Unnamed son, Delia, unnamed daughter, and Fanny Whitlow. Twins were born to Gus and Maggie on October 1, 1889. Charley A. and Barney L. Whitlow. Barney died on November 1, 1889. Charley Augustus, born 01 October 1889 and died 20 November 1873, was a soldier in World War I, spending time in France. After the war, he was married to Elzie Mackie Reynolds, born 13 January 1898 and died 31 Dec.1988. Their children were: Mable who married Burnace Cagle (my parents); Ollie who married Lowell Cagle; Wheeler Milton who married Janice Graham; and Ruby who married Max Seaton. Charley was a Presbyterian, a republican, a sawmiller, a school teacher one year in the 1920's, and a farmer. He was born at Cerro Gordo in 1889 and moved to the Turkey Creek Farm with his parents in 1900 and lived there the next 73 years. It appears that the Whitlow experience in America began with John Whitlow, an indentured servant, on the Rappahannock River in east central Virginia in 1650. John and his family moved south to the Henrico County Virginia area near Richmond by the early 1700's and remained in that area for about 75 years, the line running, John, William, William and William. The migration continues as Whitlows moved to the southern counties of Virginia and the northern Counties of North Carolina. Our ancestor next in line, Darby Whitlow, in about 1778 went to North Carolina, but settled in Charlotte County Virginia in the 1780's. Between 1790 and 1810, Darbey's son, Henderson Whitlow, moved to Laurens County South Carolina. By 1820, Henderson was in Hardin County Tennessee where many of his descendants remain, while others scattered to Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma and elsewhere. The latest directory handed out by Ma Bell lists 11 Whitlow families living in Hardin County Tenn! essee today, September 10, 1997. If we have all the generations, my line runs: John, William, William, William, Darby, Henderson, Milton, Augustus, Charley, Mable Whitlow Cagle, David Cagle. ----- Original Message ----- From: jkbain To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, March 16, 2004 8:43 PM Subject: Eliza Bain & Cagle Connection David listed below is what I have on the Fowlers.

Joe, I note one difference in the list of children of J. J. Freeman. I find a Houston Freeman b. 1855 listed in the 1860 census. I have not seen him elsewhere? You and I have several kin folk in common. Eliza E. Bain, sister to your John K. Bain, married Sterling Fowler. The Fowlers were my g/g/grandparents. Benjamin Alexander Bain married Tennie Polk who's mother was Mary L. "Pollymac" Cagle. Tice Bain married Erie Turner, my grandmother's sister. There are others. I have not been able to learn or prove the name of William P. Freeman's wife. Also, who were his parents?

Does anyone know the wife of William P. Freeman who died in 1838? David +++++++++++++++++ FREEMAN The Freeemans described in this article appear to have originated in North Carolina as did most of their relatives and neighbors who lived in the 2nd and 3rd Civil Districts of Hardin County soon after the county was formed. These Freemans appear to be descendants of Gideon Freeman, b. 07/12/1769, some sources say, in Guilford County North Carolina. However, no Freemans were shown living there by the 1790 census for that county. A Gideon Freeman was enumerated in the 1790 Census for Granville, County, however, Gideon Freeman shown in the 1790 census for Mecklenburg County North Carolina is most probably the ancestor of the Hardin County Tennessee Freemans. That census shows: Michael Freemon 1-0-4-0-1 David Freemon 3-2-5-0-0 Reuben Freemon 1-0-1-0-0 Apparently this was one family group and the other was as follows: Widow Freemon 0-3-4-0-0 Allen Freemon, Sr. 1-3-3-0-12 Allen Freeman, Jr. 1-0-2-0-0 Gidion Freemon 1-1-4-0-1 William Freemon 1-1-4-0-0 Elyburn Freemon 1-0-2-0-0 Gideon was living in Cabarrus County before 1800 as shown by a deed dated July 31, 1795 conveying from Gideon Freeman to Michael Garman fifty acres of land, the deed being recorded Monday, January 16, 1797. At that time, Gideon may have moved to near Anson County where he was enumerated in the 1800 census for that county. Edward Freeman also lived in the Anson County at that time while, Andrew and Charles Freeman remained in Cabarrus County which was formed from Mecklenburg in 1793. Those enumerated in Mecklenburg in 1800 were: Allen, James, Michael, and Rubin Freeman. Gideon's whereabout in 1810 is not known. There were no Freemans enumerated in Anson or Cabarrus Counties for that year. However, 1810 Mecklenburg shows: Widow Freeman, Allen, Cleben, David, And Rueben Freeman. Gideon Freeman is enumerated in the 1820 census for Cabarrus County along with Anderson and Isom Freeman. Anson County shows John and York Freeman, while those enumerated in Mecklenburg County are: A. A. Freeman, Allen, Barbarry J., Charles A., Guidion, James, Mary A., and Rueben Freeman. As shown above, there were two Gideon Freemans living in Mecklenburg and adjacent Cabarrus Counties. The Gideon Freeman living in Cabarrus County is more likely to be the ancestor of the Hardin County Tennessee Freemans as his daughter, Elizabeth, married George Cagle who was a resident of Cabarrus County. Gideon married Deborah Polk, b. 12/10/1768, the daughter of Captain Charles and Mary Clark Polk of Mecklenburg County North Carolina. Deborah's sister, Peggy Polk, married William Freeman. Gideon and Deborah along with Deborah's siblings, William Polk, and Martha Washington Polk Shelby migrated to Hardin County Tennessee between 1820 and 1830. Gideon Freeman may have died ca 1825, and perhaps never made the trip to Tennessee. The 1830 census for Hardin County Tennessee shows: Dor. Freeman 00002-10011001 Widow of Gideon ? Sarah Freeman 0012-0010001 ? William Freeman 220001-000001 Son of Gideon? Henry Cagle 1001001-0022001 Bro. of George George Cagle 2000001-000001 m. Elizabeth Freeman Thomas Polk 0000001-10001 Cou. of Deborah John Polk 012001-20001 Cou. of Deborah William Polk 0120101-210001 Bro. of Deborah Charles T. Polk 0001001-01101 1st Cou. of Deborah? Moses A. Shelby 2012001-220001 Bro.-in-law of Deborah There were only two Freemans enumerated in the 1840 Census for Hardin County, Tennessee: Deborah Freeman 0-0100100001 Charles Freeman 00001-0001 William P. Freeman died about the 11th of June in 1837. His children were bound out to guardians, however, no mention is made of his wife. Usually the Administrators of the estate are appointed to lay off support for the widow. There are at least 21 items in the court records relating to the heirs of William P. Freeman, yet none mention his wife which indicates that she may have preceded him in death. All seven of the William P. Freeman children can be found in the 1850 Census for Hardin County, Tennessee: 49-49 James J. Booth 25 TN 2nd C. D. Elizabeth 19 TN John W. 6m TN Elizabeth Freeman 15 TN 46-46 Benj. R.

I don't remember any 16th district in Hardin County, so I check the 1860 census and found not Savage. But in Hardeman County 1860 census has a 16th district and 6 Savages. H. Savage age 27, JC Savage age 39, James N. Savage age 22, L. Savage age 49, Rebecca Savage age 59, and William Savage age 49. Hope this helps. Henry

Can anyone help me? According to an 1850 Tennessee census index on Ancestry and on an FTM CD I have, there are SAVAGEs living in Dist 16 of Hardin Co, TN. However, I have searched the entire microfilm and cannot find them and I can't even find a Dist 16! Does anyone know if there was a Dist 16 in 1850 in Hardin Co? If not, any SAVAGE researchers tell me what county these SAVAGEs were actually supposed to be from? Thanks for any help!

<<William P. Freeman died about the 11th of June in 1837. His children were bound out to guardians, however, no mention is made of his wife. David and Star: The scant information I have on the Freemans is based on research by James and June McLaren: "It appears, from dates gleaned from Hardin Co., TN Court Records, that Nancy Freeman, wife of William P.

Edgar, I have never heard of that either. Could that have possibly been because our counties run into the Al state line. The only reference I have ever seen re meridians had to do with establishing the state line. I think it was the 35th parallel for the line between TN and GA and I think AL as well.

James Jasper Freeman was the son of William P. Freeman and (Nancy see 1850 census below?) William P. Freeman died about the 11th of June in 1837. His children were bound out to guardians, however, no mention is made of his wife. Usually the Administrators of the estate are appointed to lay off support for the widow. There are at least 21 items in the court records relating to the heirs of William P. Freeman, yet none mention his wife which indicates that she may have preceded him in death. All seven of the William P. Freeman children can be found in the 1850 Census for Hardin County, Tennessee: 49-49 James J. Booth 25 TN 2nd C. D. Elizabeth 19 TN John W. 6m TN Elizabeth Freeman 15 TN 46-46 Benj. R. Freeman 25 SC 3rd C. D. Elizabeth J. 20 TN Elizabeth A. 4 TN Sarah I. 2 TN 47-47 William A. Freeman 24 SC 3rd C. D. John L. 22 TN Sarah J. 19 TN Adaline C. 17 TN James J. 21 TN 108-108 Fielder Woodard 70 MD 1st C. D. Catherine 65 VA Elizabeth A. Freeman 13 TN 25-25 Nancy Freeman 40 NC 3rd C. D. (Widow of William P. ?) Elizabeth 16 TN Barbara A. Bain, 1834- after 1880, was the daughter of John "Bossy" and Margaret Doran Bain. James J. Freeman and Barbara were married ca 1853. They had the following children: Malissa, b. 1854 Houston, b. 1855 John B., b. 1857 Margaret, b. 1859 James Nelson. b. 1863 Martha, b. 1866 Rebecca, b. 1868 Rosanna, b. 1870 Joanna, b. 1870 Elenor P., b. 1872 John B. Freeman married Sarah L. Seaton, 11 August 1878. In 1880, they have one child, Annie, age 5 months. Sarah appears to be the daughter of George and Delaney Seaton. Is this your family?

David, Since the surveyors who did the range and section lines in the districts were not county surveyors and did get paid by the mile and expenses (and knowing all government employees appreciate addition funds) I'm fairly certain that the crews doing the surveying would have at least made an attempt at a permanent marker for the corners. That is if they were drunk out of their minds each evening. What do you know about the "meridian lines" which were ordered by the State to be created in each county for the purpose of "clarifying" surveys? I don't remember the exact date of the act, but each county was supposed to creat on and all surveys made in the county after that date were supposed to tie to that line. I've never seen any references to the "meridian line" in Wayne County in any of the old surveys or grants. All of them, including those as late as 1928, refer to the old section and range lines.

Ed, Are these deeds you platted in Surveyors District 9 in Hardin County or some other district?
