He was born in Williamson County TN in the late 1700's . They had 13 children. One of them being Ransome Francis GARRETT, my 5th great grandfather. Thanks, Ilse

Hi Fred, Williamson County Mail List was instituted January 1, 1998. Rootsweb is changing and adding computers to their system, and until that is finished the archives is not available for any county. I have all the printed all messages, so if you will let me know who you are looking for I will go through them for you.

Larry, Thanks....we are close...I'm in Dallas, TX John

Jack: I am also researaching the SCOTT line in Williamson County. My Great-Great Grandfather was John W. Scott, who lived in Williamson County between 1825 and 1860. It is believed that his father was named James B. Scott, but it is unconfirmed as of now. It is known that John W. Scott was born in May 1819 in Virginia and married Pauline J. (Polly) Whitby in 1848 in WIlliamson County. I will further research your John Scott & James Scott to see if there is a connection. Will send further info in a couple of days for you.

On that day four elders were ordained, they being, Alexander WHITE, Samuel MOORE and Robert HARRIS.

BUMPASS, Thomas P. married WOODRUFF, Mary Jane on 22 Dec 1836 in Wmson CO TN their bdm was Howell S. Woodruff who I believe was her father. Howell S. Woodruff was said to have been married first to an unknown woman and had children, he then married Elizabeth Laughlin on 5 June 1820 in Wmson CO TN with Robt W. Woodruff as the bdm. From research it appears that they were brothers from Madison CO AL. Howell was on the 1820 & 1840 Wmson CO Tn federal censuses. He transferred property to Thomas Bumpass in 1845 in said county. To confuse matters, there was another Howell Woodruff who married Mary Malone on 11 Dec 1827 with James Brewer as bdm. I think this may have been one of Howell S. Woodruff's children by his 1st marriage. I would like contact with anyone researching the Woodruff and Bumpass lines in Wmson, Davidson, and Rutherford Co Tn. Thanks, Bettye

I am trying to determind if a certain Jane PATTERSON is the same as Jane WILSON, dau. of Robert WILSON Jr. Jane was first married to James WILSON, he died 1833 in Bedford Co., TN , then she married Robert S. PATTERSON. Since she has 1/8 interest in a certain 56 acres of land (mentioned below) she would appear to be the daughter of Robert Wilson Jr. Does anyone have any futher info on this family that can offer more evidence as to whether or not Jane Patterson is the same as Jane Wilson dau. of Robert Wilson Jr.? Thanks Andrea Weil cweil@worldnet.att.net Marshall Co., TN Deed Abstracts Book B, p. 70 29 April 1836, Jane Patterson sold Thomas B. Favor 1/8 interest part of 56 acres (lot 6).

Land in district #8, being part that came to the heirs of Robert Wilson from the estate of Aaron A. Wilson. (56 acres). Book G, p. 72 27 Feb 1840, Thomas B.

Hi, Sorry for the repeat, I forgot to push "reply to all". Deanna Housden-Campen

Hi all, I'm new to this list. Here are the surnames that I am researching........ Benjamin HOUSDEN married Elizabeth TURNER in Rockingham CO, VA 1814. We find him next in the Williamson County 1820-1840 census. From the census, we believe that he had about 9 boys and five girls. Everthing is pretty sketchy in this time frame, the only real information is on my gg grandfather James HOUSDEN. Here are some of the names associated with the HOUSDEN clan: 1. James HOUSDEN m. Elizabeth CROCKER daughter of Bailey CROCKER and Sarah TAIT(E). (my line) 2. Benjamin HOUSDEN m. Hannah LUKE (LEEKE?) 1839 3. Polly HOUSDEN m. Samuel CHAMBERLIN 4. Sarah HOUSDEN m. James GUY 5. Rebecca Jane HOUSDEN m. William BROWN 6. John HOUSDEN - no info 7. Dan HOUSDEN ? (this is spelled as Housen, his widow Sarah, was murdered by her son and daughter - in -law in 1873. William C. HOUSDEN (Housen) and Mrs. S.J. Housen) Sarah Jane MAXWELL She lived 9 miles from Nashville on the Nolensville Pike, was the step-daughter of a Sterling GUY, and had a cousin by the name of Sterling HARPER. 8.? 9.etc..... Benjamin bought land from Jabez OWEN, and is stated in Jabez OWEN's will that Benjamin owed him a large sum of money. He sold land to Wyatt ELLIS on the praire called Mill Cr. Dec 1841. Another name on another deed is a John P. HILL. All the males seemed to fall off the face of the world. We believe that Benjamin moved to Henry CO, TN with my gg grandfather as they are listed in the 1850 Henry County census. I am researching this name with several other cousins. We seem to get more questions than answers from this time frame and area. No probate or will records have been found. The LDS has NO information on the county. Other than the deed records and census, a few marriage records from books, we are at a brick wall. Can any one tell me how church records can be obtained? (I'm out of state) I know that they lived between two historic churches, the Concord Baptist and the Liberty Methodist. I believe that the Ellis family went to the Methodist Church, but later on my line, we have always been considered very strong Baptist. Any matches, comments, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Deanna Housden-Campen
