Thomas E. Partlow's WILSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE, CHANCERY COURT RECORDS 1842-1892, has the following entries for William Dawson, which may be of some interest to you. These are not my people; just did a lookup for you. 1. Bill of complaint of Hellen S. Towson of Sumner County against M. T. Bennett, administrator of W. N. Dawson, Martha J. Dawson, Mary F. Dawson, Abigail Dawson, America Dawson, Thomas F. Dawson, Emily J. Dawson, and Wiley L. Dawson, minors. William Towson departed this life in 18___, leaving a widow, the said Hellen S. Towson, and children Lizzie and John. The said William N. Dawson has died intestate, leaving his widow, Martha J., and the other defendants as children. On 2 November 1858, said Towson sold sd. Dawson a hotel in the town of Lebanon. 30 June 1866 (Chancery Book H, Pp. 303-317) 2. William Dawson and wife versus John J. Hartsfield. Solomon Hartsfield made a deed of conveyance of real and personal property to his son, John J. Hartsfield on 26 May 1849. A joint right of property was reserved to the bargainer and his wife with his son John J. Hartsfield. Solomon Hartsfield was upwards of 70 years of age at the time of making the deed. He is not advanced in his eighties and is blind and prost(r)ate with the infirmities of old age and mental imbecility. His wife Rebecca departed this life in the Fall of 1859 at a very advanced age. At the time of making the conveyance, the said Solomon was too weak and imbecile of mind to understand what he was doing. At the time of making the conveyance, he had the following children and grandchildren viz. Martha Jane Dawson, John J. Hartsfield, Abagail Tucker and two grandchildren mentioned in the deed. George Tucker and wife were living in Jackson, Tennessee and now reside in Texas. The two grandchildren reside in this county. One is now married C. R. Dillard and the other resides with her father Burr Harris. 11 April 1860 (Chancery Court 1865-1867, Pp. 319-326) [I gather that Martha Jane's maiden name was Hartsfield.] Hope these are helpful.

If anyone has such maps, it will be the Wilson County Archives. No, the districts will NOT be the same from one Census to the next. Just browse the census images in Heritage Quest to see that. 1850 lists 25 Enumeration Districts, 1 through 25; 1860 has only 17 EDs all with Post Office names. 1840 lumps them all together. Myron E.

Surnames: SCOTT Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/UiB.2ACI/1267.7.1.1 Message Board Post: Thank you for the information. I'm not sure if any of these are the Samuel Scott I'm looking for or not. My Samuel's grandfather was James Scott of Amelia Co. VA who died in 1761; his father George Scott (also of Amelia Co.) died in 1815, so maybe the entry from Nov 1815 in Deed Book G is him. He purchased land in 1805 that was in both counties. The neighbors were Capt. Anthony Winston, John Craven, and Francis Sanders (Saunders?), but I have not found any other mention of the portion of the property that was in Wilson County. Are Spring Creek or Falling Creek anywhere near the Davidson County line? Thanks for your help! PS - Any chance you can turn up any further details about "Samuel Scott charged with disturbing public worship" from WIlson County Circuit Court Records, June 29, 1832? Thanks again.

No known connection. My Allens were apparently on Pirtle's Creek near the Smith County line. I have not been able to localize the farm. First evidence was in 1809 when Lewis bought a steer at an estate sale. In 1816 he sold the farm and they moved to Indiana. Myron E.
