Teresa Walker was nice enough to look in her Partlow book of Chancery court records and come up with this informative item about the Huddleston clan: >Bill of complaint of E. S. Smith and wife Martha F., J. W. Huddleston, P. >W. Huddleston, and Thomas L. Huddleston against Valeria M. E. Huddleston, >W. W. Huddleston, Jr., Elvira Huddleston, W. D. Huddleston, Eugenia >Huddleston, Adelia Huddleston, and Henry Clay Huddleston, all minors. The >complainants, except E. S. Smith, and the defendants are children of W. W. >Huddleston. W. W. Huddleston departed this life on 29 September 1855. 28 >June 1858 (Chancery Book L, Pp. 23-32) Is anyone researching this family? I am particularly interested in any children Valeria Huddleston had while married to G. L. Robinson, MD Renee

I am new to the list and my search is for the wife of John Worthen (any spelling). If he belongs to the family I think he does he would have been in Wilson County around 1812 - 1830s. I would appreciate any help locating who he married. I found John first in Wayne Co., TN 1830 Census & is between 40-50 years of age born in VA with female between 20-30; 3 sons between 0-15; four daughters 5-20 years of age. The 1850 Wayne Co., TN census shows him 32 or 52 , wife Nancy P. is 35 plus 8 children and one daughter in law. The two oldest girls and my ggrandfather had married by then. Everyone was listed as born in TN Nancy is probably a second or third wife and I base that on the age of the older children's. Would appreciate a look-up in a Wilson Co. marriage book for John Worthen/Worsham/Worthing/Wortham/ Warthen/ Worthum/ etc. for a marriage between 1790-1829. I really appreciate your help. Anyone else on this line working Worthen's? Barbara

Is your William Harris Jenkins connected to the Joseph JENKINS that married Elizabeth O'NEAL 11 October 1849, Wilson County, Tennessee? He was married to Mary VANTREASE first, but divorced in 1840.

With Elizabeth O'NEAL he had the following children: Elizabeth JENKINS, born 1850 Dorcas Melisa JENKINS born 1852 Joseph Wilson JENKINS born 1855 Josiah JENKINS born 1857 Any connection???

If anyone has done research on the Jenkins family, going back past William Harris Jenkins born circa 1788 at Fairfax or Loudon , Virginia amd married Jemima Hugley. He fought at Fort McHenry in the Battle of 1812, He and Jemima are buried in the Castleman Cemetery near Mt. Juliet, Tenn. Unfortunately, he is my "brick wall" and I can not get any further back.

Posted on: Wilson Co. Tn Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tn/Wilson/741 Surname: ------------------------- Debbie, I believe that I have corresponded with you before since I,too, am descended from James Thompson, father of Rachel Payne, through his other daughter Mary w/o John Patton. I don't know that this will answer any questions that you posted, but here is some information taken from the hand-written records of Mt. Vernon Church located near Statesville in Wilson County. Listed among the members in 1827 is Rachel Payne along with her sister Mary Patton. I would guess that Rachel Payne is buried there. On a page dated May 15, 1834, Joseph Payne and Elizabeth Payne are named as"persons was on examination received into the church." I am sure there are other references to the Paynes in this intriguing record, but it will take time to find them. This may add a little flavor to your records and is certainly a primary record if you need one. Peggie

I have seen postings of Scurlocks in Wilson County as well as Smith County on LDS site. Can anyone provide any clues for this Scurlock line?

Now, it would appear that there are two distinct Cedar Creeks in Wilson County thanks to the Corps of Engineers and the backing up of Old Hickory Lake. Cedar Lick Creek is actually the one that is further west, in the Mount Juliet area. It empties into the Cumberland in the northwestern part of the county. Cedar Creek empties into the Cumberland River just east of Hunter's Point in the northeastern part of the county. My family lived on Cedar Creek near its mouth. Today, if you drive down U.S. Highway 70, the sign marking Cedar Lick Creek says only Cedar Creek. I think that is what has caused the confusion. Erick Montgomery

Who were Marshall Carter and Priscilla Clifton who married in 1834, Wilson County TN. They are listed in the 1850 and 1860 census of TN with the following children: 1850: Charles, Joshua, Nancy, Martha, Sarah, William B. 1860: Charles, Martha, Elizabeth, William, Sophronia, Priscilla, Mary, Emmerson Trying to find which Carter and Clifton lines these were. Any descendants? Thanks, Patti Eacret

Joy, Thanks so much for your helpful post. This helped me to poke around in the "USGS Geographic Names Information System, United States and Territories" whose url is: http://www-nmd.usgs.gov/www/gnis/gnisform.html I was not seeing some vital information before, but now the results seem conclusive. Please bear with me while I describe how to get the answer for those who have never used this very valuable website. 1. Go to their url: http://www-nmd.usgs.gov/www/gnis/gnisform.html 2. Make the following entries and selections: a. Enter "cedar" in the "Feature Name" note:You may select either the "Yes" or the "No" button in the "Query Variant Name Also?" In this example, your results would be the same; however, you often get more and/or better results with "Yes". b. Select "Tennessee" in the "State or Territory Name" c. Enter "wilson" in the "County Name" d. Select "Stream" in the "Feature Type" 3. Click on "Send Query" 4. You will see a page with 3 results: a. Cedar Branch - USGS 7.5' x 7.5' Map: Vine b. Cedar Creek - USGS 7.5' x 7.5' Map: Hendersonville c. Cedar Creek - USGS 7.5' x 7.5' Map: Bellwood 5. Select a result to view more details. a. Click "Show Feature Details and Location" for the Hendersonville result. You will see information including the following: ** "Variant Name(s) Cedar Lick Creek" You will also see that this feature falls on two other USGS quad maps besides Hendersonville - namely, Hermitage and Martha. b. Click "Show Feature Details and Location" for the Bellwood result. You will see information including the following: ** "Variant Name(s) Spruce Creek" 6. When you are looking at the page with the details for a feature, you have several options. These include "Show Feature Lo cation using maps produced from the U.S. Census Bureau's Tiger Map Server." If you click on this one, you will get a simple graphic map showing the feature's location. If you do this for the Hendersonville result and look closely, you will see 3 small red dots that mark the location - in this case the course of the stream. The bottom line is that the Cedar Creek in western Wilson County appears to have been the Cedar Lick Creek named in these historical writings. I hope this hasn't been too tedious. The USGS website can be quite helpful. Thanks to Edwin Deadrick for the original question and to Joy Mask for the helpful reply.

"The History of Wilson County, Tennessee," edited by Frank Burns in 1987, page 128, speaks of Cedar Lick Creek in talking about Mt. Olivet Baptist Church: "Mt. Olivet Baptist Church at Leeville was the first Baptist church in Wilson County, constituted April 25, 1801. It was first called Cedar Lick after the creek nearby. When an arm of this church was extended to another point and named Little Cedar Lick, it became known as Big Cedar Lick until 1843 when the name became Mt. Olivet. About 1848, a commodious stone church house was built. It still stands..." Leeville is just north of present I-40, just west of Hwy 109. The "Tennessee Atlas and Gazeteer", page 54, shows the name of the creek near Leeville now simply as Cedar Creek. I've found this current atlas and gazeteer, by DeLorme Mapping quite helpful, although I often have to locate the old names in other works such as the Wilson County history. Hope this helps.

Posted on: Wilson Co. Tn Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tn/Wilson/738 Surname: Martin ------------------------- I think I got this information from the state archives in Nashville; >From Deed book #H2 Heirs of James Martin, to wit, James H. Martin, R.M. Martin, S.A. Hobson, E.E. Hobson and W. T. Hobson to W. H. Holman and his wife Elisabeth E. Holman The tract of land on which our father lived at the time of his death. 1 May 1871. (P. 484-487) I think this is a piece of land at Canoe Bend on the Cumberland River on the north side of Wilson County. The land is on the south side of the river across from a bluff called Indian Ladder. There is an old family cemetary on a hilltop there Where many of the Holmans are buried. Elizabeth Holman was a Martin and I think her mother Elizabeth is also there. I also think Elizabetb Martin is listed with the Holmans in one of the censuses. I will check on this when I have time. I read your message because I have two James W. Harrises in my mothers line but they were from Smith County and the first was not born until 1827. I dont know if this fits your timeline. I might have other bits of information on the martins. I'll see what I can find if you are interested. Richard Holman

Ed, I don't have the answer for you, but I do note that there are two Cedar Creeks in Wilson Co. Perhaps one of these was once called Cedar Lick. One is in the northwest part of the county. It enters the Cumberland at a point almost due north of Mt. Juliet. The other is in the northeast part of the county and enters the Cumberland just northeast of Hunters Point. I think that my ancestors lived along or near this Cedar Creek in the 1st half of the 1800's, but I haven't been able to determine exactly where.
