Thanks for that info. I just have a copy of Mr. Cooksey's info from the vertical file and he did not list his sources. He has passed away now and no one in his family could tell me who his sources were.

I don't know how accurate it is or what Mr. Cooksey's sources were though. These look like notes from Goodspeeds History of Tennessee--Montgomery County (1880's). If it is the first settlers of CLARKSVILLE that is wished, then check Ursula Beach's "Along the Warioto", a History of Montgomery County, TN (1964). It is the primary source for such information; and also gives much county information as well. Cleo.
