My email woke a lot of you up! Francie, you are lucky too. The only surname of Sharp is Benjamin Sharp and Anthony Sharpe. However I did find Alexander Martin, Col., 2nd Reg N.C. Line III, 2. Please see the description I gave previously regarding Section III of which Alexander is also a part of. Section III - An estimate of the Lands for which Grants have been issued to the officers and soldiers in the Continental Line of this State or their assignees pursuant to Act of Assembly. 2 - Alexander Martin - 2,314 - 1786 - Davidson on the Big Harpeth River.

Melba Do you see a land grant for Phillip POPE or Adkins POPE? Thanks, Jeanne

One Turney surname - TURNEY, Peter. See Allen, Mary. When I go to Allen, Mary it has ALLEN, Mary III - 350, assigned by heirs of Peter Turney, Pvt. Then I go to pg 88 of the Book, Section III, No. 350. The word "do" as I understand it means ditto. In the information re Mary the year "do" is that of 1784. In the place land granted also is written "do" which in Mary's case is Davidson Co. There are 6 entries written crosswise across the page as follows: (Let me give you this from the prefix-The pages of the original are unnumbered and the book is not indexed. In 1803 a handwritten copy of the original report was made at the request of the State of Tennessee and it is this Tennessee record from the State Archives in Nashville, Tennessee which is here reproduced. The compilers have numbered the pages and added the index. This Glasgow report lists five different types of grants, in five different sections numbered serially beginning with Number 1 in each part. The six columns give the following information. (read carefully). Listing number, the name of the grantee, the number of acres, year grant was made, county or district in which land was situated, and the location of the land mainly by reference to waterways. This listing number does NOT correlate with location, entry, warrant or grant numbers, therefore copies of warrants or grants should NOT be requested by number, but should be requested by name of the holder ONLY. Section III "An estimate of the lands for which grants have issued to the Officers and Soldiers in the Continental Line of this State or their assigns, pursuant to act of Assembly." Under this heading are listed 1448 military grants. There is a note at end indicating that 2275 other warrants had been issued to officers and soldiers for which grants had not then been made. This Section (III) of the volumne has been so well handled by the publishers that there is little to add. It should be noted however that at the time of Tennessee's request for copies of the N.C. grants it was found that many errors had been made. In checking the grants with the original warrants and surveys it was often found that the soldier's name had been spelled wrong, or another had been substituted in error, etc. In these cases corrections of all kinds were made by "margin notes" and not on the face of the grant. N. C. did not issue any new warrants after ceding her territory to the Federal Government, but Tennessee did recognize and honor her previously issued warrants through the year 1824. (Note-there are different notes for Sections I, II, and IV than the above III) 350-Mary Allen - 640 -1784 - Davidson - On the South side of Big Harpeth Hope this helps. Melba PS To Sue in Lebanon-there were no surnames of Donnell re land grants. If I find other info on your family I will send it later.

James, Here's info I have on Mary Caroline Null and Enoch Fisher. Mary Caroline Null born 15 Dec 1830 in TN, died 23 Dec 1856. Enoch Fisher born 23 Jan 1830 in Lone Valley, DeKalb Co., TN, died 2 Dec 1910 in Smith Co., TN. Married 19 Feb 1854 in Smith Co., TN. Daughter Mary Ann Frances Fisher born 4 May 1855 in Smith Co., TN. In the 1860 census for District 9, Putnam Co., TN, there's a Sarah Fisher, age 5, born TN living in household of Jacob Null and daughters Sallie Null (age 30) and Elizabeth Null (age 25) so perhaps this is a misnaming for Mary Ann Frances, or possibly Enoch and Mary Caroline had another daughter. In the 1870 census for District 16, DeKalb Co., TN, Mary Ann Fisher (census shows Mariana Fisher) age 15, as living with Jacob Null (but index says Hull) in his household. In 1880 I believe she's the Mariana Williams married to Vane Williams on page 237B for District 16, DeKalb Co., TN. Reason for thinking this is that this Mariana is living next to Jacob's son George W. Null and George's son John Wesley Null, and she also has a son named Enoch, perhaps after her father Enoch. I'd seen in other trees that she was married to a Tim Williams, and having a son named Jack, and grandsons named Tim and Jim, but no proof. Will keep digging in the census to see if I can find anything further, but hope this provides some leads.

You might already have all this.....you do know some of early Wilson County later was Smith County? I am playing a bit fast and loose with spelling of Luckey, as in early records it might not have been spelled that way. Also - you need to also look at families they married into or who might have been neighbors and traveled with them. Did you look for wills and land records back in NC? Sometimes a father or brother in NC might mention someone in TN. What about Rev War records? Did the family move to TN because of a Rev War soldiers land grant?

Mary

all the land records are at TSLA, you just have to know which microfilm group to look at, I would say talk to them for help. Smith Co TN land records begin with Deed Book Vol B 1801 - 1807, as I understand it, book A is lost. I may be wrong on that, if it is still availabe, it would be for before 1801. But.......and this is a little known thing, around 1802 or so some of the Smith Co land records were registered in Jackson Co land records. My Turney does not appear in SMith Co land records until about 1804, but I found him in 1802 in Jackson Co land records at TSLA record group 50 reel 5.....a large section of Smith was under Jackson County for about a year or so....it might also be because Henry Turney was living in Hawkins Co at the time but buying land in Smith which he later moved to. So maybe it was easier to register at Jackson Co court house? If you are going back before that - you will have to look at records of like Land South of the Ohio River, that kind of thing...... there are TN land grants to look at. Also NC land grants in what is now Tennessee. Pre-emptors records, Armstrong's entry book is the first land surveyed by NC in what became TN.....and so on. As you say, the early land records of Davidson, and then Sumner county are good places to look, but you need to expand out from there. Court records also sometimes contain land records.....also wills, estate records, anything you can get your hands on might have land records. I found where my Turney assigned away half of his land given for defense of Ft Nashborough - and it was not in land records but in Davidson Co Will book 1 and says Henry Turney of Cumberland, Settlement of North Carolina assigned half of his 640 acre granted for defense of settlement to .... of Lincoln Co Virginia dated 2 Sept 1782. LIncoln Co VA would later be Kentucky by the way. I have never found this land in land records, just this mention in the will book. Apparently later this man died and his family must have been proving ownersh ip of the land and how they got it. I also found mention of a piece of land which is today in Sumner Co - near Mansker's Station area.....and it was an article from TN Gazette of 1801 found in Wilson Co Tn records and mentioned some of Henry Turney's land would be sold for non payment of taxes.....apparently he must have paid the tax ( he was living in Hawkins, by 1803 or so he was in SMith), because later that summer of 1801 he sold the land - that record I found. But this was really only because later people built a mansion there which is still there today, and historians did a search of the ownership of the land back to the original owner who was Henry Turney. Withouth that, I would have missed a lot of it cause it is found all over the place. REalize these men were often land speuclators. They might have been living in what at the time was Sullivan Co - eastern TN - but getting their name on land somewhere else. A bit later, they had not moved, but might be in Hawkins Co ......so they would perhaps again register this land this time in Hawkins Co reocrds.....but the land could well be....in middle TN someplace. The land would not be mentioned again perhaps for years, until it was sold. Or if it was passed on to children, it would be in will or court records, but not show up in land records until the children or even grandchildren sold it out of the family - this could be 30 years later. So you can see the problem. Did I make any sense? What I do is read index for everything from will index, land records, court records, for any TN county I can get my hands on for time of 1774 (when it was not yet TN) to say 1820 or so. I will tell you of one example of what strange places you will find info......Peter Turney Jr and his brother Henry were on line of what became TN and VA around early 1774......they had moved from Shenandoah Co VA stopping off for about a year of so at New River. They had left back in Sheandoah Co VA their father and two younger brothers. Peter Jr was a surveyor, and both he and brother Henry did a lot of land speculating with land in various places such as near Bean's Station, Holston and Clinch River, near Cumberland gap, etc. 1780 Peter Jr was with bunch to go to King's Mountain in Oct, while early summer of 1780 brother Henry was at Ft Nashborough. They both end up in area of Dixon Springs in 1780s (Henry built a house in what is now Trousdale Co but near Dixon Springs where Peter Jr built his house). By 1790 Henry is back on his land in Hawkins (they had land in Jackson and later some fell in Overton Co)....1802 Henry begins to buy land near present day Dekalb / Cannon Co line and moved there 1803 or 1804 and died there in 1843. Okay, they were all over the place and lots of land records for them. Jump back to about 1787 - Peter Jr and Henry are in Davidson / Sumner co area of the time. Brothers are in Shenandoah Co VA. I found a record where Peter Jr gave his brother Michael in VA power of attorney to sell some land .....now this land was in Davidson Co of today's TN, but the record of the sell is in Shenandoah Co VA because the man who bought the property was living there. Apparently he wanted to move to near Nashville and so bought his land before he left VA - I have yet to find any of this transaction in TN records, but it is there in VA. Perhaps Peter Jr had gone back home to VA for a while, or more likely this man in VA knew Peter's brother who was a neighbor and asked about land in TN. Michael somehow got word from VA to Peter in TN and asked if he had any land to sell. Since Peter had lots of land, he somehow sent back this power of attorney to his brother to sell his VA neighbor some of the land near Nashville. Then the man moved to TN (I assume) and at some point would have registered his claim to this land saying Peter had sold it to him thru Michael Turney back in VA. I am still looking for the info in TN, but did find that the man moved to near Nashville. Boggles the mind.

My great grandfather, Enoch Fisher, married Caroline Null. They had one child. Caroline died shortly thereafter. Their daughter, I think was raised by the grandparents. Her name was Mary Ann Frances Fisher and she was born 4 May 1855. Would like to find out what happened to her. Enoch Fisher went on to marry two more times. My connection it through him and not the Null family though. ==== TNSMITH Mailing List ==== Have you updated your Smith County Query lately? http://www.tngennet.org/queries/qpost.htm fuzzy-brandy-butter-elf Proud member of the IBSSG --------------------------------- Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page
