Are there any Fentress or Overton Co. map during 1880 - 1900 time frame that showed where folks had their farms? I know there were Agriculture Census for 1880. How can I show a relationalship between these records and local maps to pin point where a track of land is located? I looked in old deed books but I am lost - such as, on Clear Creek or Hurricane Creek - that covers a lot of area.. I was showen that my GGGGrand Father, Auston Wilson had a place on Camp Ground road as you come into Overton Co. from Fentress Co. Then Joseph Wilson had a track of land on the south side of Clear Creek that was apparently divided amoung his children.

Seeking info on WILLIAM SCOTT who m. NANCY AUSTIN on 10/31/1867. They had children: NATTY SCOTT 1/12/1869 JAMES 12/4/1870 JOHN 9/26/1872 JINSEY SCOTT 8/23/1874 WILLIAM SCOTT 6/2/1876 JOSEPH and JOSIE 4/12/1878. Possibly they and/or some of their children moved to Lebanon, Tn. and then on to Texas. NATTY SCOTT was my grandfather and he didn't speak of his family so none of his children knew their grandparents or aunts and uncles. NANCY was a granddaughter of NATHANIEL AUSTIN of Lost Creek. NATTY SCOTT was a fairly renowned preacher in White Co. about the turn of the century. Thanks for any help.

Aaron Addison CUNNINGHAM and Lucinda "Cinderilla" HARRIS were married in Cumberland Co., TN, in the early 1870's. They were living in the BIG SANDY community at the time. Lucinda was the daughter of William Lacy HARRIS (b. NC) and Sarah STENNIE. I suspect that Aaron's parents were Martin and Mary CUNNINGHAM who resided in Bledsoe Co., TN, in 1850. Aaron and Lucinda moved to Clay Co., TN, soon after their marriage, where Aaron was a Baptist (and later First Church of God) minister. Aaron had brothers names Calvin and Samuel and sisters Melissa and Nancy, who married a FORTNER and moved to Indiana. Lucinda's brother Benjamin was also a Baptist minister and died in Clay Co. I would really like to share information and gain new information from ANYONE who has connections to the HARRIS, STENNIE, and CUNNINGHAM families.
