Louanne In case you didn't have this and take this to though Wayne Co KY organized 1800 was state line for TN/KY what was to become Overton Co TN 1806 from Jackson & Indian Lands Clinton Co KY organized then Fentress was 1823 taken from Overton & others counties then in 1835 Clinton Co KY from part of Wayne Co KY then Pickett Co TN in 1879 So Overton Co TN was the state line for TN/KY and joined Wayne Co KY for some time. I wonder sometimes if they owned land in Overton Co TN and were counted in Ky census early but can't prove that though. Just a little information in case you didn't have it. I am working on going through early records on microfilm page per page that are not indexed for Garrett information in hopes of turning something up.

I found an 1848 court record recently I hoped would help, but it wasn't one of the Garrett Patriarchs. If you know anyone looking for info on Joshua the younger, though, it's there. BUT, your email raises several important questions that point us all to new areas of research. You say Joseph Garrett b 1814 married Polly Brown (I assume from Overton Co?), then moved to Wayne Co KY btw 1850-1860. This is interesting for two reasons: 1. I am a descendant of Creed Garrett thru his dau Emila ("Kitty") b 1835 who married Wm Cox bef 7 Sep 1850. They are living next door to Creed on the 1850 census. But in 1860 Wm & son Charley b 1852 are living with Wm's mother in - guess where? Wayne Co KY. Just 3 doors down is "Abram" Garrett, age 45 & b TN. I thought that was quite a coincidence when I first saw it, but now that you say your Garrett ancestor moved there at maybe the exact same time, it REALLY makes me wonder who else is there and why. 2. How do you know Polly's name is Brown? Have you found any records of her family? The reason I ask is that I have seen a record that states that "Brown" was the maiden name of Mariah Garrett (Creed's wife). This could very well be wrong, but I've been looking for a Brown family to appear in this mix and there it was - in your email. 3. Last, what is our source for Joseph the elder being born in Buckingtham Co VA? I saw the other day that Loderck was born in Campbell Co VA. I'm assuming that there is a miilitary pension record somewhere that backs up these staements. I was thinking about starting a Overton Co Garrett family website for us to easily share info and contribute copies of new things we find. Anyone interested?

Ron - do you have any information about the Rileys or Winninghams? My great grandfather is Amos Riley and he married Cyntha Winningham. My grandfather is Benjamin Riley, married Minnie Smith. Her grandparents were also from Overton County. My line of Rileys is: James Riley B. abt. 1751-1760 (70-79 in 1830 census) - we think in Virginia (reported by Robert Riley to be June 8, 1763.) D. abt .1833 (after will dated 1833) - in Overton County, TN Elizabeth Riley B. 1771 to 1780 (I lean toward 1780) (40-49 in 1830 census, 60-70 yrs old in 1840, not on 1850 census) My guess: 49 in 1830 and 60 in 1840 D. between 1840-1850 (before 1850 census) in Overton County, TN (Children) 1. Joseph Riley (abt. 1798) – age 52 in 1850 -- age 30-40 in 1840 born in N.C. (All the other children were born in TN) 2. Isaac Riley (??? Possibly around 1800 – 30-39 in 1830) 3. Daughter (perhaps Elizabeth) Riley ( ??? possibly around 1804 – 20-29 in 1830) 4. Daughter (?? – 15-19 in 1830) 5. John Riley (abt 1802 – 15-19 in 1830) 6. James Riley (?? – 15-19 in 1830) 7. Amos Riley (5 Sep 1821 – age 29 in 1850) 8. Thomas Riley (28 in 1850) I've been reading all of the notes looking for family and you sound so knowledgeable about the area, I thought I'd ask. Thanks in advance for any info you or anyone else might have. Wanda Gant
