Posted on: Wilson Co. Tn Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tn/Wilson/736 Surname: EASON, WALTON, MARTIN, HEGGERTY ------------------------- A James W. Harris left land on Barton's Creek in Wilson County to the heirs of my Alexander Eason of Wilson County. Alexander was married to Mary Walton in Gates Co., NC in 1784, and they were living in Wilson County before 1800. Alexander died in 1808. I have not yet been able to determine why this James W. Harris left land to Alexander Eason's children. One of Alexander's children, Robert, married a Lydia Harris in 1802 in Wilson County, but the Barton's Creek land was left to be divided among all of Robert's siblings, including his sister Mary Eason who married 1825 in WC my brick wall, James Martin,born c. 1803 in NC. Since so many of these families migrated together and intermarried, I've been studying the Harris connection in hopes of learning more about my Easons and Martins. Would love to hear from anyone who could shed light on this connection. Thanks Cheryl cheryls@wwnet.net

I am looking for anyone who could do a lookup in any of the books regarding Wilson county Wills. I am searching for one on: James SOMERS/SUMMARS he was born on 1-1-1757 in England and died on 1-21-1820 in Wilson county TN. He had at least 6 children by two different marriages. He migrated to Wilson county in 1810, he also received a large land grant of over 800 acres so I am assuming there were estate property to be divided. His wife at his death was Levinia (Viney) Gillaspey and the various children were: Alexander,Matthews,Anthony,James,Lydia and Henry. The last two would have been 2 years and 6 years respectively. Thanks for any help in this area. Debbie Jennings debbiej@iquest.net "Following the footprints through time" Researching in IN,KY,TN,NC,PA,NJ,VT,NY,MA,MD, VA,CAN,GER,ENG

Teresa- Thank you so much for taking the time to post the court information on Allen. My Archer Allen has been a brick wall for me for some time and , although the Archibald you have listed in the court record is not mine, I feel certain there is a connection between the two men because of some other research I have done. I will look over carefully what you have sent me and compare it to what I already have. I may take you up on the offer of another look-up. Thank you again, Claudia Allen

Thomas E. Partlow's WILSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE, CHANCERY COURT RECORDS 1842-1892, has the following entries: Bill of complaint of Moses Allen, administrator of Archibald Allen; Sarah Allen and Mary Davis of Smith County; Thomas West and wife Martha of Dekalb County; William B.

Archibald Allen died in Smith County on 20 October 1872 intestate. 10 January 1873 (Chancery Book 1872-1873, Pp. 380-384) {I believe that Mr. Partlow listed Martha and Lavisa Irvin twice.} Bill of complaint of Moses T.

The old lady was very infirm and remained so until her death on 14 December 1837. The old man remained and as he grew older, he became infirm until his death on 22 August 1843. He became almost entirely helpless. After the death of the said Moses Allen, Sr., his son, Archibald Allen became administrator of the estate. Said Woods is seeking a claim against the estate. 28 September 1846. (Chancery Book D, Pp 368-372) Moses Allen versus James T. Allen. Sarah Allen departed this life intestate in Smith County in October 1875. The petitioner qualified as administrator. Petitioner would represent that in 187__, Moses Allen was administrator of Archibald Allen who had died intestate filed his bill against Sarah Allen. Moses Allen was the husband of said Sarah Allen. W. G. Davis was a grandson of Sarah Allen. 17 April 1876 (Chancery Book 1875-1876, Pp 440-442) There are a number of other entries for the surname Allen--too numerous to transcribe here. I will, however, list the given names and will try to send further information on those if you need it. They are: Ada; Andrew; Bartlett; Catherine; Charles; Cynthia; Dixon; Eleanor; Eli; Elizabeth; G, T,; Garris; George; George A.; J. E.; J. G.; J. H.; J.
