Do any of you locals know Leffel Brown? I think he would have lived in Brown's Mill district. My other question is, where is Brown's Mill district? Is it on Spain's Hill? Near Lascassas? So many questions and I'm so far away! Barbara Wyche Descendant of Stephen & Lucy Spain

Teresa, thanks so much for the suggestion and the info that many of those names are found in Wilson Cty.! I recently found one of my g grandgather's sisters had moved to Wilson County, but I didn't stop to think that there could be more....you'd think that by now I would be able to make those mental leaps....(but I still don't) ;-). Thanks again, I'll do some serious hunting for all my Rutherford County lines in Wilson to see if I can find the "missing connections". Thanks again! Melissa

Reading all my wills and the ones posted so far, aren't you glad you aren't researching John Woods who was county clerk of Rutherford County. <G> Teresa Ghee Elliott Rutherford Co., TN cemeteries: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rutherfordcemetery/ TMG sentences: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rutherfordcemetery/TMG.html

Wow Mari--you're BARFIELDs in Jefferson area way pre-date my WALLERs best I can find. My ancestors apparently arrived in that area only about 1829-30, from Mecklenburg County, Virginia. That is kinda odd that someone from Rutherford Co and someone from Williamson Co. TN would meet and marry in Mississippi...maybe they travelled together from TN to MS--I think that's what happened to some of my WALLER kin who married into the McDOWELL line from VA, but did so when they arrived in Rutherford Co. I'll certainly keep an eye out for your BARFIELDs though.

Williams Barfield also came from Mecklenburg County but it was S.C. Yes, I agree with you..It was very odd that they were there...well...maybe not though. Miles Barfield, Williams' Dad lived there. Williams was a tobacco broker and went back and forth between here and there. Also, Stephen Barfield, who was in Williamson County at that point , was prolly related to Williams although I can't verify it. He made Williams an heir...confusing...in 1796....in Montgomery County! WHEW! I think he did it on purpose so I wouldn't find him!!!!! :) Yep, I have a deed that dates 1803. Mari >Wow Mari--you're BARFIELDs in Jefferson area way pre-date my WALLERs best >I can find.

Hi everyone, I just want to brag on you all. As of a minute ago our Rutherford County TNGenWeb site has had 1,651 hits since Feb. 1. I just decided to put up a counter. Congrats to every on who has sent in info and worked so hard to make this a visitor friendly site :) If anyone wants to do a "special project" let me know. Rutherford County is famous for fantastic ppl who work very hard. Right now I'd love to have African-American and Native-American information for the page. Any ideas and/or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again, Mari

Hey Ed, My Williams Barfield lived in Old Jefferson way before it was called "Old" <G>. I know your ancestors were in that area. If you ever see him please give me a yell. (Actually, if you saw him I'd expect more than a yell..maybe a scream of horror <VBG>) He lived next to Fred and James Barfield on the left fork of the Stones River. This was in 1803 or before. I have him here and then in Amite County, MS (near Natchez) in 1810 where he married Harriet Tarkington who was from Williamson County, TN. Kinda strange, huh.
