My Asa Denson (b. ca. 1795- d. aft. 1860) was was found on 1822 White Co., TN Taxable property and polls of Capt. Parkers Company. Would this mean Asa owned property in White Co.? or just been taxed for being of age? I have yet to find any info on property Asa may have had in White County. He later was granted land in Jackson Co. with Ben Rutledge in 1837. Asa was listed in Franklin Co. Indiana on 1817 Tax list owning a horse. Shows up in White Co. TN on 1820 Census. On 1822 tax list. On 1823 Tax record he is taxed for .90 cents. He is listed as an early settler on Cherry Creek in Goodspeeds History of White Co. Wouldn't an early settler have owned land? Can anyone give me some avenues for research? Should I check for military service (of which I have found nothing on his later census's). Can anyone do a look up in various early White Co. records books they may have? Can anyone help me with knowing why Asa may have been granted land in 1837 in Jackson Co.? Thank you, Carolyn Denson
