Need information about Bigbyville in the 1810 to 1830 time I am researching Wyatt Thomas Jones who lived there prior to moving his family to Gibson Co Tn. Bob Jones

For Rick - regarding Rose Hill Cemetery listings: For years and years I have tried to find information about my ggg grandfather, JOHN BITTLEMAN (BIDDLEMAN, BITTMAN), who lived in Columbia from about 1816 until his death. I have no information other than the Inventory of his property, which was recorded 3 March, 1824 in Maury County. I would be forever indebted to you if you would check your Maury County Cemetery books to see where he is buried; and if, perhaps, there might be dates or other data on his tombstone. I rather think he was buried in the Rose Hill Cemetery, since several of his wife's family are buried there. (Saunderson and Van Voorhies families). My thanks - Laurette Russell

To the best of my knowledge Oakes and Nichols Funeral home in Columbia has the burial records for Rose Hill Cemetary. Doug Mullins

Judy your best bet is the book Maury County Cemeteries if the grave is older than 1993 or so.

Oh we were just visiting a recent ancestors grave where we knew the memorial was located. I myself have the book Maury County Cemeteries by Fred Hawkins though I understand there were many graves missed by the book. Wayne Austin

Judy, I don't know if they have an office or not. I have been there but can't remember. If you can give me a name I will look in my Maury County Cemetery books for the name and let you know what info is there.

I do not think there is someone there all the time. Try calling the Oakes and Nichols Funeral Home and ask them if they have a number. 931-388-4711

If you get nowhere wiht the Rose Hill Cemetery, try the local funeral homes, and see if you can find out which was used. They usually have good records ( if it is still doing business). Cackyt

Crossbridges is located southwest of Columbia. Culleoka is located southeast of Columbia. The two are no where near each other. Hope this helps. Michelle

I felt very badly to receive the e-mail at the late date also. This is something I would have loved to do had I had an opportunity to make plans in advance. It would probably be well attended and such fun to get together with our genealogy cousins. If you do this again, please advise as early as possible. Many of us would need to stay in a hotel etc and even take time off from work to attend. Thank you for your consideration. Janis J.

Try Nancy HELLUMS. I am a HELM family researcher and we have a Nancy Hellums in Maury County.

Periodically, I put out a search for my Thomas Grant who lived in Maury (Marshall) County most of this life. Below is a summary of information I have compiled from my own search and help from others. If you have any infomation that might be useful, Let me know. There is very little known about the Grant family prior to Great Grandfather, James Davis Grant. The earliest history indicates that his father was Thomas Grant, who may have been born in Tennessee around 1777. He was believed to have died in Marshall County (prior to 1836, was known as Maury County), Tennessee in late 1838. The earliest reference found so far in historical documents is in South Carolina’s Spartanburg County Deeds (Book A – Z), Direct Index, wherein Arnolds were the Grantors of Sellers. From Book N, page 51: Edward Arnold and Catran, his wife, to John Cantrell. All of the Spartanburg County, S. C. $2,000 or 500 acres on both sides of the Enoree River. Includes the mill, house, buildings and plantation, etc. being the place where Edward Arnold now lives. Bounded by "old corner of join Westmoreland’s land", Henry Earnest’s and William Childress’ land. Signed, Edward Arnold. Wit: William Arnold, James Wofford, Thomas Grant. Catran W. Arnold, wife of the within named Edward Arnold, released her dower rights. Inst. 29 Oct. 1807, rec. 11 Apr. 1809. Another reference to Thomas Grant occurred in 1823 and is referred to in the following lawsuit and a subsequent land purchase of 200 acres. The Tax Records from 1823, pages 214 and 224, show Thomas Grant as owner of land in Maury County. MCHQ Vol. V #III Fall 1974. NC Grant 51- 5000A- John Nelson 5-1-1809 William Davidson grants power of Atty. to friend Samuel Polk, to redeem a tract of 5000A originally granted to John Nelson which was sold for taxes by the Sheriff of Williamson County. Maury County, TN Chancery Court Record 1810-1860, Vol. 1 page 135: Davidson Vs Davidson - 1822 May 10 1823 John H. Davidson, Samuel W. Davidson, Thomas Crawford & wife Mary et al vs. William Davidson, John Cockrell, Alexander Osburn, John Sturgeon, Cyrus Alexander, Isaac Williams, Thomas Grant, Thomas Nix, John Fowler, Richard Hill, Josiah Duncan, Abraham Tally, William McGregor, Ebenezer Elliot, Peter Phifer, John Weaver, Joseph Weaver, Spratty Turner, Josiah Alexander, Robert Marsh, Uriah Stone, William Shehane, Jordan Vincent, James Vincent, Jonathan McManus, William Emerson, Philip Miscar, Daniel Bills, Nancy Boon, Elijah Mays, Levi Cochran, Margaret Davidson, Sarah Harriett and William Davidson. The Complaintants were found not entitled to the 5000A and the bill was dismissed. The following bought parts: William Duncan- 165A; Richard Hill - 161A; William Shehane- 275A; Peter Phifer - 160A; James Osburn - 492A; Jonathan McManus -175A; Thomas Grant - 200A; William McGregor - 200A; Josiah Duncan - 208A; Alexander Osburn - 200A. May 28 1831 Josiah Duncan bought 208A for $720. It being the same land that D. W. McRee contracted to sell to Duncan & executed a title bond July 10, 1816. Among those tracts for which no deed were registered were the following: William Emerson 165A bounded on the N by Alexander Osburn, E by William McGregor, S by Jonathan McManus, W by Alexander Osburn. In Early Looney in America, by Leroy W. Tilton, there is a reference to Thomas Grant and a James Davis (believed to be connected to the Grant by marriage) in an account wherein he purchased 23 acres of land from John Looney: Riflemen, West Tenn. Volunteers under Col. N. T. Perkins on the expedition against the Creek Nation. They proceeded from Camp Carroll to Emuefou (?) and back, a distance of 314 miles. Less than two weeks after discharge, John (4) Looney entered the 2nd Regt. of West Tenn. Militia as Captain of a Company under Col. Lowry and Lt. Col Hammons and served from 20. Sept. 1814 to 20 April 1815 as part of General Taylor's Brigade on the expedition to Mobile during which they traveled 614 miles and were as far east as Pensacola. On 11 Jan. 1815 he was a superannuary at a general court-martial at Mobile. Following his return to Maury County after these three tours of service he sold, on 5 Nov. 1815, land on Smith's Fork, Smith County, to Samuel Lake (Smith Deeds D. p. 281) and on 18 Nov. sold 210 acres on Globe Creek, six miles southeast of Columbia, to John Brown, in trust. (Maury Deeds F, p. 278) Then in 1816 he sold 215 acres, where he then lived in Maury County, to James Davis. (Maury Deeds F, p. 326) His application for a pension is dated 15 Aug. 1817 in Maury County and the physicians certified to total disability. On 15 Feb. 1818 he sold to Thomas Grant 23 acres beginning on John Brown's northwest corner. (Maury Deeds H, p. 401) The next account of his life is found in the Marshall County - County Minutes. On January 8, 1839, the Coroner presented a bill to the county in the amount of $5.00 for summoning a Jury of Inquest over the dead body of Thomas Grant. Two days later, a Security Bond for $800 was presented to the county by one of his sons, Richard G. Grant, and William P. Boatright in regards to the Estate of Thomas Grant. Then, on February 4, 1841, an Inventory of the Estate was presented to the county by Early T. Reasonover, Administator of the Estate. On March 1, a settlement was made by Gideon Black, John Elliot and E. Campbell with Mr. Reasonover. On March 2, the Court ordered a correction of error on the setting the Estate of Thomas Grant. Finally, on April 5, 1841, the Court accepted settlement with Gideon Black, John Elliott and E. Campbell, commissioners with E. L. Reasonover, administrator of the Estate of Thomas Grant. Thomas married Sarah (Davis?) nee Glover in Marshall County. They had nine children, all born between 1800 and 1825. Thomas' father was said to have been born in Scotland, and his mother was believed to have been born in Northern Ireland. Sarah was also believed to have born in Northern Ireland in 1784 . She died in Robertson County, Texas on January 7, 1860, and was buried in the Owensville Cemetery just outside of Franklin. Beyond these facts and presumptions, there appears to be little, if any, other historical information. Their children included: John - b. abt. 1805 Richard G. - b. 2-22-1808 Howard - no data Daughter (?) Levenia - b. abt. 1814 Mary Margaret - b. abt. 1815 James Davis - b. 1-6-1818 Nancy E. - b. abt. 1822 Elizabeth - b. abt. 1823 James Davis GRANT married Sarah E. TALLEY 7-14-1840 in Marshall County, TN; died in Robertson County, TX ; buried in Owensville Cemetery.
