Thanks Ed Adams for the info. I don't know if my guys, Reading (this is not Major Reading Blount) Blount, Benjamin and Isaac Blount are related to John Gray and Thomas Blount. I know John Gray and Thomas were big land owers and my guys were not. Benjamin Blount was in the Williamson Co tax records 1811 & 1813. Isaac was in tax records 1813 with 200 acres of land. Henry Reynolds, who was Reading Blount's father-in-law, was in the tax records 1813 1 w pole. On 2 Jan 1816 he was appointed overseer of public road from Franklin to Murfreesbors between Commissioners Creek & Arrington Creek. Does anyone know where this location is? I assume that was the area he lived. Winnie Calloway
