He was on the 1820 tax roles for Sumner county with the 400 acres but I can find nothing in the deed books as to how he acquired the property. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have looked at the two websites that are hosted for Sumner County but the answer is not there. Thanks Doug Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
