Faye, re: Along the Warriota? Is this a book that can be purchased, or checked out? Am looking for HAYNES settlers c. 1792-1750s. Thanks.

Many thanks. Do you also show James HAYNES commissioned LfT. Oct. 6, 1796 Robertson Co? This has shown up on the FTM site and I wondered how accurate it is. Thanks.

My ancestors the Lockerts came from SC to Montgomery County/Clarksville area and I now live in Cheatham county and could help with the information on the Gibbs and Balthrop family. Both families are quite numerous here. Send me particular names and I will check it out for you. I have a copy of the Red River Settlers but cannot find it right now, think I may have loaned it to someone. I do agree with the earlier message that Along the Warriota is an excellent source too.

Hi Folks, Don't know if this will help but these are some of the notes I have in my database. I don't know how accurate it is or what Mr. Cooksey's sources were though. I have copies of articles on early Montgomery Co.---somewhere! If I run across them I will contact the list and Patricia. Hope this is of some help. Jean Hancock in Tx -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Source: "The Cooksey Family History", Rook & Good Branch by Lindon Tubb Cooksey, p. 14. This is only part of a typed record done by Mr. Cooksey. It was found in the vertical files of the Montgomery Co., TN Public Library, photocopied: 6-1999. ARTICLE 7 Charles the Second of England had the idea that the Carolinas, of which Tennessee was a part, bordered the South Seas, while the hunters and pioneers of the seventeen hundreds and later, thought of the "Southwestern Territory" as the far West. And on to the West, this unknown land of danger and beauty, came its precursors of civilization. The Carolinas, Georgia, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, contributed many of our first citizens. From North Carolina came Hayden Wells, James and Duncan Stewart, Anthony and William Crutcher, Robert Nelson, and Samuel N. Northington. South Carolina proved less interesting than the new little village of Clarksville, to James Ford, Francis, William, and Robert Prince, George Bell, George Nevill, who settled on Red River, Joseph B. Nevill, and Dr. Morgan Brown. Francis and Willliam Prince built a block house near the mouth of Sulphur Fork of Red River, which was known as Prince's Station. Among the pioneers who settled at or near this Station were Samuel and Isaac Wilcox, Colonel Joseph Lord, Joseph Robertson, and Major John Baker who, in later years, became the father-in-law of one of Tennessee's famous governors---Willie Blount. Virginia gave us, by way of Watauga, Evan and Moses Shelby, Colonel Valentine Sevier, John Montgomery, and John H. Poston. From Pennsylvania came James Elder, Aeneas McAllister, and Judge Huling. There must have been many others accompanying our first citizen, but their histories and identities have unfortunately been lost in the dust of the ages. Pioneers joining George Nevill on Red River were James Owen, John Gossett, Joseph Ligon, Matthew Ligon, the Reverend Reuben Ross, John Rudolph, Jesse Bailey, Benjamin Herring, and Samuel N. Northington. The first settlers at Spring Creek were Hardy Bryant, William Fowlkes, John Bristow, Edwin Gibson, Buckner Killabrew, Niedham and Bryant Whitfield, Thomas Minor, James Huling, Major James Johnson, Dr. Charles Meriwether, James Adams, Crossley Smith, Solomon Grace and his father. To Parson's Creek were Zachariah Grant, Hardin Crouch, William Lockert, David Gupton, John Bobo, David Hogan, and Sanford Wilson. Those settling near Barton's Creek were Samuel Smith, William Sullivan, John McAllister, Thomas H. Batson, George Trotter, Billy Lee, John Rook, Joseph Dickson, John McCauley, and William McMurray. Hurricane Creek (Haw) was originally settled by Samuel Bumpas, John Lang, William Loggis, David Lynch, William Curlew, Abner Harris, Jesse Martin, John Hargrove, David Leach, and David Burney. John Long, so tradition says, bought a dozen apples from a keelboat passing up the Cumberland River to Nashville in 1790, and from their seed grew the first apple orchard in the county. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Franaces Osburn" <frano-cola.sc@worldnet.att.net> To: <TNMONTGO-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, May 08, 2003 11:41 AM Subject: [TNMONTGO-L] Fw: First Settlers of Clarksville Can anyone on the list help Patricia?

Hi there. Did your offer to do a lookup extend to the whole list? If so, would you see if you can find anything on the following HAYNES, James, Thomas, Henry (Harry) Jonathan, David, Ruth and if you would get real lucky, Asa? If this is too much, that is okay. Just thought I would ask. Thanks.

Is anyone on this list researching Thomas HUNTER or early Montgomery County? Mr. Hunter was a Revolutionary War Veteran, (list of 1832) and served in the South Carolina line. He died 27 February 1834 in Robertson County but did own property in old Montgomery County which may now be Cheatham County. Thanks, Colleen Taylor
