Your reference to early seettlement in Stewart County doesn't agree with my research. Maybe you are referring to the area around Dover? There were earlier settlements in Stewart County. John Parchman was along Guice's Creek by about 1789. In the Tennessee Historical Society papers on file at the State Library and Archives in Nashville, there is a handwritten manuscript (no author) on some of the history of Stewart County, which says, "The first settlement in Stewart County was made near Cumberland City by James Tagert in 1784 or 1785. The next earliest settlers in the county were David and Lewis Roling. John Parchman settled on Guice's Creek in 1790." However, I have documents that show that John Parchman/Parchment was on a militia in Sumter County in 1787 (later part of Robertson County) and served on grand juries in Robertson County in 1789. Although unclear, I think that a corner of Robertson County dipped into the area around Guice's Creek according to old maps. A court case in Robertson County in 1789 indicates that he was reimbursed for travel to Springfield that was exactly the distance to Guice's Creek. After Stewart County was formed in 1803, he was on the first grand jury in Stewart County. Gerry Parchman

Hi, listers, Does anybody know if Willie Hargis, below, derives from Mecklenburg Co., NC a hundred years earlier? Does anyone have his line way back? Thanks, Chuck P.

Blair; All I can say is this is what I have found regarding George the father of the Christopher Brandon in Stewart County. The earliest settlers arrived about 1795, mostly from North Carolina. Among them were: Geo. Petty, Samuel A. Smith, Britton Sexton, James Andrews, Samuel Boyd, and Elisha Dawson. They settled on or near the site of Dover. About 1800, Duncan Stewart arrived with a large number of immigrants from North Carolina, among them were: John Kingins, Christopher Brandon, Joseph Smith, Tillman Sexton, and Ethelred Wallace. In 1809 and 1811, John Wofford and James Wofford came. From Virginia came: James Scarborough, Sr., Jas. Scarborough, Jr., Davis Andrews, and Ebenezer Rumphelt; other pioneer families were, the Lewis, Gorham, Weaks, Parchman, Walter, and Akers families. Tennessee the Volunteer State 1769-1923: Volume 1 STEWART COUNTY [p.901] NEWMAN BRANDON, SR. Newman Brandon, Sr., who since 1896 has continuously filled the office of postmaster at Tobaccoport and who for forty years has been a prominent figure in business circles in that locality as a farmer and merchant, was born January 20, 1858, in the town which is still his home, his father being Christopher Brandon, who was born in South Carolina in 1791 and lived for many years at Tobaccoport, Tennessee. He was a son of George Brandon, who was the first permanent settler in the western portion of Stewart county, taking up his abode there in 1800. Christopher Brandon became a hunter, a farmer and flatboat and keel boat master. He married Jane Simpson, who was a granddaughter of J. Lassiter, a Revolutionary war soldier who lived in Trigg county, Kentucky. This branch of the Brandon family was loyal to Charles I of England and after the death of that monarch three brothers who had fought for him emigrated to Maryland, thus founding the family in the new world. One of these brothers died in this country, while another returned to England upon the accession of King Charles II to the throne. The third became the head of the large family bearing his name, his descendants being now very numerous. He removed to Virginia, and ancestors of George Brandon, the grandfather, settled in North Carolina and afterward in South Carolina.
