Has anyone recorded the burials in it? Kitty Lane's husband was Isaac Knight. His gg-grandmother was Charlotte Parham who died in Smith Co., TN in the 1860's. I don't know where she was buried. Charlotte Parham married Garland Hester in 1799 in Granville Co, NC, then they moved to TN. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Hi Friends, The Sumner County Archives has added a great research tool. They call it the Limited Name Index. I just finished looking for my surnames. Take a look _http://www.sumnertn.org/archives/master_index/master_indexes.asp_ (http://www.sumnertn.org/archives/master_index/master_indexes.asp) A reminder. If the source is "Will Abstract" that does not necessarily mean they have a will, but they are mentioned in a will. Diane Payne Sumner Co.

I'm searching for information on the heirs of Abraham Visor/Viser. December 9, 1797 in Sumner County, TN...Abraham Visor/Viser, received a land grant of 27 and 1/2 acres for his Military Service in NC. On 2/19/1810, the 27 & 1/2 acres was granted unto James Gwin, assignee, of the heirs of Abraham Visor/Viser. The land was located in the first District in the Barrens on the waters of the west fork of Drakes Creek, adjoining the lands of James Blanchard, Joseph McGlothlin and Mrs Noels. Does anyone have more information on this Abraham Visor/Viser and his heirs? Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jo Ann Crafton

Hi Friends, On the Sumner Co. TNGenWeb site, I have tax lists from 1787 to 1838 (with gaps). _http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnsumner/sumnlist.htm_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnsumner/sumnlist.htm) You also might want to check out the Sumner County Archives website. They have transcribe the tax lists for 1787 - 1791 and 1793 - 1794. They even put it all in a nice alphabetical order. Or you can put the surname in you are searching for. _http://www.sumnertn.org/archives/bak_taxlistpage.asp_ (http://www.sumnertn.org/archives/bak_taxlistpage.asp) It is very difficult to read the handwriting on the tax lists.
