Notes: A Possum Creek is in Hawkins Co. Tn. JOHNSON AND ALLIED FAMILES OF POSSUM CREEK 1775 Oct 26: Isam Looney (Isham Looney) (Benjamin Looney) was born 26 Oct. 1775, probably in the lower part of Washington County, Va., or Tenn., shortly before his father and others, including Walter Johnson and Stephen Rentfroe, Sr., signed a petition protesting the erection of a court house. (The birth date comes from old family papers of grandson John Findley Looney) Isam Looney's boyhood must have been spent in Stanley Valley on sinking Creek, Possum Creek and Big Creek. http://home.flash.net/~johnsonl/p2_41_45.htm<http://home.flash.net/~johnsonl/p2_41_45.htm> Tony ----- Original Message ----- From: TENNEVA@aol.com<mailto:TENNEVA@aol.com> To: tnhawkin@rootsweb.com<mailto:tnhawkin@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, July 04, 2009 5:44 PM Subject: [TNHAWKIN] Armstrongs On page 69 of the 1810 Washington County, Virginia census, find Baker Armstrong 26-45, female 26-45, female 10-16, 4 males 0-10.

John Died by 1810. Likely with John Arnold came with his brother-in-law Thomas Armstrong and wife Amelia Cason. Anyway, in the 1820s, the sons of John Arnold deeded a tract of land to a Thomas Armstrong their father had agreed to sell to Armstrong. Mary and Amelia were children of Seth Cason. A Thomas Armstrong signed the marriage bond for the 13 Dec 1784 Prince Edward County, Virginia marriage of John and Mary so that Thomas would have been 21 at the time he made the bond. Apparent sons of the above John Arnold; Doctor, Claiborn and Stephen signed P/As recorded in Prince Edward County, Virginia to a John Arnold that was probably was their brother to act for them in collecting their share of the estate their grandfather John Arnold. And Doctor Arnold did name a son Baker.
