Noel, You did an outstanding job of scanning the 1878 map. I attempted to make some scans myself for my files, especially of District 1, with disastrous results.

I am searching for information on the STUART/STEWART family of early Williamson County. I found the following, if you have any more info, please contact me. >From the book, "Historic Williamson County, Old Homes and Sites:" page 101-102 "Also in the City Cemetery are the remains of Judge Thomas STUART. Born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, June 11, 1762, Judge STUART was the son of John and Ann STUART who were in Davidson County early in 1790. Thomas STUART married Margaret LAREMORE (1760-1835), evidently in Lancaster County before they came here with his parents. John STUART (1725-1799) is buried south of Grassland, the Jeff MORAN home on Hillsboro Road, and presumably his wife is buried beside him. Judge STUART left directions in his will that tombstones be erected at his parents' graves but his mother's has disappeared. Thomas STUART was elected first Judge of the Fourth Circuit District, which included Williamson County, in 1809 and served until the adoption of the new constitution in 1836. His marker records that "he was a man of sound mind and of solid learning, an able jurist, an upright judge, and a true Christian - the highest style of man." His portrait hanging in the War Memorial Building in Nashville was given tot he Tennessee State Bar Association in recognition of his prominence in jurisprudence in early Tennessee. He is thought to have served longer than any judge in the state. The STUART homesite was about two miles from town on the Nashville Pike where he owned considerable property. The STUART'S had no children. Judge STUART had a brother, Robert, who died in Logan County, Kentucky in 1806 and a sister Janet (1764-1848) who married Henry KEY. Judge STUART died October 16, 1838. Margaret Laremore Stuart is buried by her husband."

Wow, the longer I do this - the smaller the world gets. My Priest family - as I have said many times before came from Williamson Co., TN and Davidson Co., Tn. to Madison Co., Mo. Also the Forehand and Kirkpatrick families came here too, very early on. Wow. Of course eveyone knows that they never traveled alone in the early days, more relatives and more neighbors came along in a group.....Jeanette (We also got Masons and and Moses families here in and around Iron Co., Mo.) -----Original Message----- From: Randall Jones [mailto:Randall_Jones@hilton.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2004 7:58 AM To: TNWILLIA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: RE: [TNWILLIA] Re: Where to research?

Noel and Joe, Elisha Fly purchased 480 acres from James Barnes in 1799. Elisha sold 100 acres of that land to John Fly in 1799. He then sold 74 acres of the same land to Jeremiah Fly in 1801. This property would be near Ragland Rd., Split Log Rd. and Sunset Rd. of Williamson Co. Ed ----------------------------- See home page at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~adams1895

The RR didn't really get through that part of the state until roughly around 1902,I have heard the name "Fly",but "Fly's Sta." doesnot ring a bell. I do know that there was a man named I believe George Fly that served in the 20th Tn.,Inf.,Co. B....I think he was kille in a battle in Ala. ,hope this helps !!!
