According to family tradition, Vallentine Mullins came across the mountains into Tennessee from the State of Virginia. I have traced Vallentine Mullins back to his father Richard Mullins of Lunenburg and Mecklenburg Counties in Virginia. Richard's father is Valentine Mullins and Mary Ann Wilkins of Dinwiddie County and Lunenburg County, VA. Valentine's father is Patrick and Mary Mullins who came from Ireland in Sept. 28, 1727 and had a land grant of 350 acres in Goochland County, VA. and Patrick Mullins of Henrico County, VA.

Please contact me directly if you can be of assistance.

I found a book, "The Dale Hollow Lake Graves" by Gary D. Norris. In it he refers to three instances of Arney graves being moved. Reference #1: "The Arney Cemetery was on Tract D-501-A in Clay County. All of the 100 graves were unknowns and they were moved to St. John Cemetery." Reference #2: "Arney #1 This cemetery is given this name by the Corp of Engineers eventhough there is another Arney Cemetery. This Arney Cemetery was found in Clay County on Tract G-507. There were 63 unknowns and 8 knowns for a total of 71 graves at this site. All 71 graves were moved to the St. John Cemetery in the same county." Reference #3: "Arney #2 This small cemetery of 3 total graves was found in Clay County on Tract G-507. All 3 unknown graves were moved to St. John Cemetery." Page 26 Since Gary Norris wrote his book well after the graves were actually moved, could there possibly be some other place that would have documentation of who may have been buried in those graves? Meaning other Arney family records, etc. Didn't anyone keep records of who was buried where back then? Afterall, Mr. Norris did not mention where these cemeteries were, he did not mention whether they were on current or former Arney land, etc. I'm looking for Peter Arney's grave (died in 1845 in Overton County, TN) and Matthew Arney, Sr. grave (died in 1902 in Overton County, TN). I found Matthew Arney Sr.'s son's grave, William Ervin Arney (who would have been Peter Arney's grandson) who died in 1887. If anyone has any information that may shed some light on this, I would deeply appreciate it. Thank you for your time, consideration, and cooperation, I deeply appreciate it.

My great-grandfather, Simeon Overton Pryor and Manda Pryor had a farm in Pickett County. An uncle drove me past it when I was much younger and all I can remember is that he said there were houses near it that other Pryor families lived in. As I recall it was somewhere in the vicinity of the Pryor Cemetery in Pickett Co. If you find out more from anyone else please share the infornation with me. Thanks.

Hi, Does anyone have a copy of Peter Arney's will (August 1845, Overton County, TN) or Matthew Arney, Sr.'s will? I know that finding their gravesite is probably impossible, since they were more than likely ones moved for Dale Hallow Lake, and placed as unmarked graves in St. John Cemetery in Clay County, TN. So, maybe I can learn more about them by finding their wills. I deeply appreciate your time, consideration and cooperation in this matter, thank you so very much.

August 6th, 1796 Christian Arney (Lincoln County) to John Fulenwider (Lincoln County); for 30 British pounds sold 200 acres on south side of south fork of Catawba River. August 4th, 1804 Robert McCombs (Lincoln County) to Christian Arney (Lincoln County); for $290.00 sold a Negro girl, Fan, about 12 years old. October 12th, 1805 Robert McCombs (Lincoln County) to Christian Arney (Lincoln County); for $312.50 sold a Negro Amey. August 1st, 1811 Matthew Wilson (Lincoln County) to Christian Arney (Lincoln County); for $50.00 sold 32 acres. August 1st, 1811 James Wilson (Lincoln County) to Christian Arney (Lincoln County); for $500.00 sold 703 acres. March 1st, 1813 Christian Arney (Lincoln County) to John Arney ( Lincoln County); for $90.00 sold 630 acres. March 1st, 1813 Christian Arney (Lincoln County) to Matthew Wilson, Jr. blacksmith (Lincoln County); for $200.00 sold 105 acres. November 18th, 1815 John Keener (Lincoln County) to Christian Arney (Lincoln County); for a bond Arney gave Keener dated today "to pay his debts & comfortable maintenance during life" sold 317 acres on waters of Bynums Mill Creek. November 18th, 1815 John Keener (Lincoln County) to Christian Arney (Lincoln County); for a bond dated today for $1,000.00 conditioned on Arney paying my debts "affords me a comfortable maintenance during my life & decent burial at my death" sold all my personal property of every kind & description and "debts owing". November 18th, 1815 Christian Arney (Lincoln County) to John Keener (Lincoln County); a bond of $1,000.00; bond void if Arney pays all of Keener's debts, finds Keener "in" clothing, lodging, & diet in as confortable a manner as Arney's family usually lives during Keener's life and have a decent burial for Keener at his death; Keener has today sold all his personal & real property to Arney. February 10th, 1818 Christian Arney, Sr. (Lincoln County) to his son Jacob Arney (Lincoln County); for good will & affection and $100.00 sold 375 acres on waters of Sniders Creek. March 3rd, 1823 David Zimmerman (Lincoln County) to Christian Arney, Sr. (Lincoln County); for $850.00 sold lot #4 in SE square of Lincolnton. January 16th, 1827 Robert H Burton & Henry Fulenwider, executors of estate of John Fulenwider, deceased (Lincoln County) to Christian Arney, Sr. (Lincoln County); for $104.00 sold 2 adjoining lots in SE square of Lincolnton; (a) lot #41; (b) "another lot" in said square [no number]. [Note: Christian's father, Jacob, moved the family in 1767 to North Carolina, Christian would have been 17 years old, since he was born in 1750. So, by 1827 Christian would have been 77 years old.] I'm hoping that Christian can lead us back to his father, Jacob Arney. Jacob Arney died in 1784, in Lincoln County, NC. Also, please note that the land sale in 1796 was to the same John Fulenwider who was given Christian's brother, Peter (to learn the trade of a miller, when Peter was 15 years old, in 1787). Somehow, by tracing the path's of Jacob's oldest son, Christian, maybe we can find out where Jacob came from, who were his siblings, who were his parents, where did they come from? Were they born here in the United States or did they migrate from some other country? It is "believed" that Jacob was born in Switzerland, but spoke German. That his family settled in with the Germans who had already migrated into the United States because they spoke a common language. I welcome your input, and welcome any documentation anyone can show that proves where Jacob Arney came from, who his siblings were, who his parents were, etc. It has been said that he was the son of a Frederick Ernigh, who arrived from Switzerland aboard the Pennsylvania Merchant Sept. 11th, 1732. This theory has since been shown to be untrue. Since, that Frederick's son, Jacob, was shown on tax lists as being "single" at a time he should have been married and Christian born. Other records show he died and never could have made it to North Carolina. Believe me, it would have been alot easier, if Jacob would have been Frederick's son. Then again, we wouldn't have this wonderful "mystery" to solve would we? I deeply appreciate your time, consideration, and cooperation in this matter, I thank you.
