WILLIAMS

I am trying to find a Christopher WILLIAMS, b. 1815 (possibly in Smith county) m. Elizabeth Rebecca EVANS, 1837. First child, Isaac Newton WILLIAMS, b. 1838. Isaac Newton WILLIAMS's military record in the Civil War states that he was born in Smith county. In the 1840 census, I found a Christopher WILLIAM in Dekalb county, District 1, Alexanderia. I believe this to be the same family but can't find any proof. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Does anyone have a listing or map of the Districts in Smith county in 1830-1840? I am also searching for the parents of Christopher WILLIAMS and Elizabeth Rebecca EVANS. I have the family from 1850 on and will be glad to trade information. Thank You.

In 1848, LUCY (TATE) PRESTON, age 81, stated in her application for pension based on the service of her husband JOEL PRESTON in the Rev.

At the 1850 SMITH CO. census she gave her age as 82. At the 1860 census, she gave her age as 95, but was now enumerted in DeKALB CO. Did she move at such an advanced age, or did borders between Smith and DeKalb Counties merge? Thanks for any insight.

WALLACE,WALLIS

Need any information on Andrew WALLIS/WALLACE. He married Margaret CALBREATH in 1796 in Augusta County, Virginia. Andrew and Margaret were present in Augusta, VA for the settlement of Margaret's father's estate, Thomas Calbreath (also spelled Galbraith), in 1801. Nothing is known of them until the 1830 census where Margaret appears as the head of household in Smith County Tennessee suggesting Andrew was deceased prior to 1830. Andrew and Margaret had a son, who I am descended from, named Thomas M. WALLIS/WALLACE. He was born in 1805 and claims Smith/Macon County, TN. as his place of birth. Thomas M. WALLIS/WALLACE married Jane CALBREATH, his cousin, in ca. 1825. Thomas M. WALLIS/WALLACE appears in census of 1840, 1850, as head of household with Margaret as a member of his household. Possible siblings of Thomas M. WALLIS/WALLACE are David, James, Jefferson, William C.and Sarah. Any information regarding Andrew WALLIS/WALLACE or Andrew W. WALLIS/WALLACE is dearly needed. Will exchange information.

DICKENS, GLOVER

George Washington GLOVER married Charlotte DICKENS. Charlotte (I believe) was the aunt of my great-great grandfather Edward Glover DICKENS, b 1812-1815 in Tennessee, son of John DICKENS, possibly Smith County or Sumner County. Edward moved to Iowa in the 1830's and was one of the first settlers in Clayton County. (He built the first log cabin there.) In the 1860 census a young man named Felix G. DICKENS (the G stands for GLOVER, I believe) was in Edward's household. Felix G. DICKENS of Smith County later fought in the Army of Tennessee, 28th infantry, company G, from 09-07-1861 until 1865. Does anyone have any information on George Washington GLOVER or the DICKENS family? Obviously the DICKENS family thought fondly of him if they named their children after him!

In this contract JOHNS states that he will not *lay claim* to the estate of Josiah GALE, deceased husband of Sarah GALE. In tracking land records, we find the following: Smith County. Caney Fork River... Benjamin JOHNS of Washington Co. VA buys land June 1789. Witness: Israel JOHNS. Cumberland River near Dixon Creek..... Benjamin JOHNS, Isaac JOHNS 1802 seller, Elias JOHNS 1803. Are these brothers? Carthage Town Lots... Benjamin JOHNS, 1810 bought land and in 1818 sold land. Where did he and his wife go? Has anyone seen any of the JOHNS men after this 1818 date? Did Benjamin JOHNS and his wife Sarah GALE JOHNS move? Die? If anyone has access to records of Smith County, can you check and see if they are there in 1820? A will, a land sale, anything.

HINTON, ELLIS

My GG-Grandfather John J. HINTON was on the 1850 census in Smith Co., showing his father as a Thomas aged 49. His mother was a Nancy ??, In the 1880 census John was in Trousdale Co., married to an Elizabeth ELLIS. I believe John's father Thomas is related to Col. John Hinton of NC. As I found out , the Smith Co. court house burned and all records and are gone!! Does anyone have or know where to get any info for Smith Co., or anything about the HINTON family? This is a big block wall since records are hard to find. Thanks !!

Seeking information on Willaim and Thomas Calbreath who appear in the 1820 Federal census of Smith County, TN. Records show William Calbreath resigned as a Justice of the Peace in Smith Co. on 11 August 1814, probably because he acquired land in the northern part of the county near the Kentucky border. This family moved to White Oak Creek, a branch of Big Barron River. Another record mentions "Calbreath's Mill on White Oak Creek." Can anyone help on this? Thanks.
