Betty and Framk McBee---Thanks for your reply to my query. I have another now---If Tn. was N>C. before it became a state, did this take in the Indian lands or would the Indian lands be considered No. Car. you see, Elender Smith married Andrew Jackson Bass in 1826 in Marion Co. Andrew Jackson Bass states in one census he was born in N>c. and I think maybe one states Ten. and there is one Ala. And Sampson, the oldest son of Andrew and Elender Smith Bass states his father was born in Ga. In checking the 1830 census of Franklin Co. I find a Sammpson Bass who could be the father of Andrew, but of course Andrew is in Marion Co. married to Elender Smith. Now I am wondering if the parents of Elender Smith could have been in what is Franklin Co. Ten, supposing that this Sampson is the father of our Andrew Jackson Bass. And all of this land could have been considered No. Car. in 1805 and 1806. I have checked the Marion Co., Tn. Deed Book B ane find that Andrew Jackson Bass had purchased land in 1829 and 1930 on the Waters of Battle Creek. Then in the last part of 1830 he was selling land to William Stone. This was also on the Waters of Battle Creek. I am presuming it is the same land--however I probably could tell for sure by checking the discriptions. Of course it all goes back to marks according to trees. The history of Greene Co., Mo. states that Andrew Jackson came to Greene Co. in 1829, however, I am thinking this is more like the latter part of 1830. There is the possibility that he came in 1829 by himself and then went back to sell his land and bring his family. This point has never been mention in the study of the Bass family as I can remember. My grandfather was the grandson of Andrew Jackson and Elender Smith Bass. In the same Deed Book Thomas Smith was buying land on Sequachee River. His land amounted to total of about 400 acres. 265 acres was bought from John Hickory. He also bought from Enoch Owens 147 acres south east side of Sequachee River. I believe this was in 1826. I am wondering where the land of Thomas Smith is in relation to the land that Andrew Bass had. Would appreciate any thoughts you might have. Am interested in your Lemons connection. My husband's earliest know (as of now to me) as Isaac Lemons, that came from Ky. to Franklin Co., Mo. and then on to Wright Co. Mo. Isaac is my husbands gr gr grandfather. I will be checking on this later. Phoebe Rogers Lemons plemons7@swbell.net > Also for Phoebe Rogers Lemons, if memory serves me correctly, Tn. Was NC > before it became a State.
