Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XeB.2ACE/3396.1.2.1 Message Board Post: My goodness, no wonder you are confused. I am dizzy just from reading your letter. Today I was in the deed office of our courthouse. I found deed books one and two. Most of the deeds you have listed from deed books one and two are correct. I do not know where you received your information. I cannot say it where it comes from without checking and without seeing your souce material. Also ask about the WPA records, of which they have none. I went to the genealogy room in the H. B. Stamps Memorial Library and all we have in our records from WPA are the indices. The library only has in it collection," Hawkins County Deed Abstracts" 1801-1819 Abstracted by Joyce Martin Murray of Dallas, Texas. "Hawkins County Tennesse Grant Books", 1& 2. 1788-1819, by Billie R. McNamara. of TN. I told you about the old Libers, many are in the deed office as well as old grant books. This I can say. The souce you had listed as deed book 3.pg 191 That deed 22 mar 1792 Robert Gray, senr to Nicholas Hawkins.That is the listing in DB 3, pg 191. DB 3 pg 47. ( Feb. 1802 Daniel Syster, and James Breeding. The souce you have for deed book three is incorrect. Sorry, the best I can do. Thanks.
