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. War, that she lived SIXTEEN miles from the Smith County Courthouse. Question: Since the courthouse was completed in 1879, where was the original courthouse? I'm trying to figure out where she lived. 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

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 J

BELCHER

Seeking names of children of my presumable gr-gr-gr grandfather,Isaac BELCHER, b. about 1792 in Virginia, married a Lucy CHANDLER May 1810 in Virginia and moved to the Smith County, TN prior to 1820. My gr-gr grandfather, Richard M. BELCHER's death record in the Williamson Co. Illinois states the Smith County TN as his birthplace and names of his parents listed as n/a. The 1820 census for the Smith County TN listed the only BELCHER family named Isaac BELCHER as headhold. All I need is proof of the relationship of Isaac and Richard.

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!

DARE

HENRY DARE is listed on page 59 of the 1840 census for Smith County, TN. What was family composition (sex, and age range)? I would like to correspond with anyone who has any information about this family. First wife's name unknown; but, I believe he was in Smith County in 1840 with regard to his first wife's family and his only child by his first wife (Mary Elizabeth DARE, b. 1/11/1836). He may be listed in census next to unknown inlaws?

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.
