Bob, There is an area between on the ridge between Westmoreland and Portland just one mile north off highway 52 in the Oak Grove community called Brackintown, called Brackins in the early 1800's. The old Cairo Road [which is now part of the Minor & Harve Brown Road] also ran through Brackintown. You are in the right area but I am not aware of a Johnson's Gap. I did find one deed that maybe of interest to you. Sumner County - Deed Book 7 - Page 209 - 6 Sept. 1814: William Gwin, Sr., to William Gwin, Jr., for $300, 53 acres part of a tract conveyed to William Gwin, Sr., by John Morgan on dry fork of Bledsoe's Creek. Wit: Ezekiel Gwin, John Gwin, & James Gwin. Hope this helps.

I am trying to find a location that is referenced in the Will of William Gwinn, recorded in February of 1827. He gave numerous holdings to his children and their spouses. Mostly I am trying to figure out where he lived and where his Saw Mill was located, and the only "real" location stated is: "one tract of land lying on the Ridge on the road that leads from Cairo to Brackins by Johnson's Gap". He also speaks about land joining Joining "John Mcwiells farm". I have looked at the maps on the Sumner GENWEB site, but without much luck. I am thinking, after looking at the 1830 census, that the Brackins might related to property owned by the family Bracken's. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Bob

The two names, McDaniel & McDonald,are given in the same record. The record was lines in a book, so have found no actual certificate. Evidentaly, William Escue was in Rowan co, NC for a while, anyway. I found 2 deeds of him selling land 1805 & 1806 as follows: Abstracts of Deed Books 20-24 of Rowan Co, NC 1807-1818 by James W Kluttz 975.671 R28K V3 #631 p 36 19 Dec 1805, William Esgue to Jilson Berryman for $120, 30 A adj Jacob Smith and Hilton.

Wit: Benj Hinkle, John Wilson, Dunling Jones, Prvd by Hinkle at Aug Ct 1808. There is a Thomas Agnew & Cuthic his wife mentioned in Rowan Co, NC Loose Estate papers- Rowan Co Register, Vol 3 no 2 976.67 h2r-- possible parents???? There is a John McDonald listed in Rowan Co, NC abstracts of the Ct of pleas & Qtr Sessions 1753-1762-- July 23, 1762 John McDonald for 640 A (4:818.819) An administration report for the will of William Escue in Sumner Co, TN was dated Apr 16, 1839. There are ealier reports with no dates-- obviously, died before 1839, could be as early as 1836. The 1836-1837 date is thought to be a good estimate because Edmond Green Escue was B in Sumner Co, TN (we think- TN for sure) I believe they migrated to southern IL before 1840. Sorry to be so long.

I am looking for information on YANK G. GRAVES. I would love to know his parents and siblings if possible. Thanks so much for your help in advance. Sandy

My GGF was William Thomas Escue, Sumner County. His wife, My GGM Mary Jane BROWN Escue died in 1894 (?)at age 31 and their children went to live with relatives (mostly the Brown family I think). I do not know if he remarried. My GM was Elizabeth "Lizzie" ESCUE Graves (She married Carvie Robert Graves in 1905). Someone recently inquired on the site about a William Escue who married a Nancy Jane McDaniel and said William Escue was born in Sumner Co. I would be interested in information also. Ron Graves

Is anyone on the mailing list researching the RUTHERFORD family of Sumner County? I am searching for information on the children of Benjamin S. RUTHERFORD b. abt. 1801 in TN. I believe he had a daughter named Elizabeth b. abt. 1824 who married Henry J. DUNCAN and a son named Alfred G. b. abt. 1832 who married Susan J. MNU. Does anyone know if he had another daughter named Martha b. abt. 1826? Any further information appreciated.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: gyuhhh Surnames: ASPLEY, LATIMER, STUBBS, SENTER, PORTER Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.tennessee.counties.sumner/1053.1059.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: A complete list of the children of William Aspley and his wife, Eliza G. Latimer, may be found in the William Porter Aspley bible, in _Genealogical Records, Kentucky Society DAR_, Genealogical Records Committee Report, ser. 1, vol. 322 (1970), 182-3. The number is much larger than four, and it does include a daughter Lucinda A. It would appear from the family bible record, however, that she was born 7 Nov. 1818 and died unmarried, 10 Nov. 1881. On these grounds, she cannot have been the wife of Moses Stubbs of Hickman (later Fulton) County, Kentucky. William, born on 7 October 1790, was the eldest of the three sons of John and Sarah (Porter) Aspley. The others were John, born 12 January 1796, and Samuel, born 18 June 1798. (John Aspley pension file W2903, National Archives micropublication M804, roll 84, family record at frame 400) All three of the brothers -- and all seven of their sisters as well -- took out marriage licenses in Sumner County. We see by these records that William obtained his license to marry in 1816; John, also in 1816; and Samuel, in 1823. (William and John's marriage bonds are on FHL microfilm 969,843; Samuel's marriage license is on microfilm 969,844. On both films, the records are arranged alphabetically by groom. In addition, abstracts of all the relevant marriage records may be found in Edythe Rucker Whitley, _Marriages of Sumner County, Tennessee, 1787-1838_ [Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1981], and Era W. Stinson and Elizabeth Sue Spurlock, comps. and eds., Sumner County, Tennessee M! arriages, 1839-1875 [Bowling Green, Tex., 1985].) Chronology would seem to rule out Samuel as father of Lucinda Stubbs. By a process of elimination, she is most likely to be the child of the younger John. John Aspley and Milly Senter were married by a bond issued in Sumner County on 12 July 1816, with William as bondsman. John also appears in the Hickman County tax lists of 1829 and 1834, and the census of 1830. He named his wife Malinda in a deed dated 29 March 1834 (Hickman County Deed Book B:299-300; FHL microfilm 321,366). John's appearance in Hickman County in the very year that Lucinda married in that place lends additional support to the possibility that she was John's child. Unfortunately for John, he appears to have incurred debts to his brother Samuel that he was unable to repay, and Samuel responded in July 1836 by authorizing William to seize John's land. William then sold the land to Moss Stubbs (i.e., Moses) by deed of 10 August 1836. (Hickman County Deed Book C:67, 70, abstracted in Laura Willis, _Hickman County, Ky. Deeds_, vol. 5, pp. 10-11; also on FHL microfilm 321,367) John could only move on to another place where land was cheap and plentiful: the Republic of Texas. He and the rest of his family settled in Houston County by 1840, where he entered a headright claim for 640 acres as the head of a family (Carolyn R. Ericson and Frances T. Ingmire, _First Settlers of the Republic of Texas: Headright Land Grants Which Were Reported as Genuine and Legal by the Traveling Commissioners, January 1840_, 2 vols. [Austin, Tex.: Conger & Wing, 1841; reprint, Nacogdoches, Tex.: Ericson Books; St. Louis, Ingmire Publications, 1982], 1:203) and was taxed (Gifford White, _1840 Citizens of Texas_, 3 vols. [Austin, Tex., 1983-8], 2:79). John does not appear in the 1846 poll lists (Marion Day Mullins, comp., _Republic of Texas: Poll Lists for 1846_ [Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., 1974; reprint, 1982]), and I have to presume that he died before then. His land claim was eventually cancelled (_Abstract of All Original Texas Land Titles, Comprisin! g Grants and Locations to August 31, 1941_, 8 vols. [Austin: General Land Office, 1941-2], 1:483, no. 121, citing cert. no. 3, case no. 1203) -- possibly because he died before he could establish the three years' residency needed to obtain a patent under the Texas land grant system (White, _1840 Citizens of Texas_, 1:ix-x). The following are said to be the names of his other children: Talitha, Littleberry Green, Amanda, Emily, and Matthew James. (Louise Elizabeth [Burton] Morris, ed., _Founders and Patriots of the Republic of Texas_ [Austin: Daughters of the Republic of Texas, 1963], 271; Lucinda is not included among John's children) We do find marriage and census records for at least the last four in Anderson County, which was formed from Houston, in later years. To return to Lucinda, however, I would like to know what sources show that she died on 13 December 1895. She does not appear to have left a death record, and I find no record for her in the standard collection of Fulton County tombstone inscriptions (_Fulton County, Kentucky, Cemeteries_, 4 vols. [Fulton, Ky.: Fulton Genealogical Society, 1976-81]). Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
