EAST·TENNESSEE SURVEYS 1807-1813

Submitted by Mable H. Thornton (Mr-s. Robert E.), Rockwood, Tenp.~ssee.

These abstra.ets are taken from the. original surveys reyor'ded. in Reyord :Book A which is filed in the office of the Register of Deeds, Roane CountY', Tennessee. The volume contains 828 surveys dating from August 24, 1807 to November 8, 1813 for the "Fourth SUrveyor District. II John McClellan was the Surveyor General for the Fourth District. Deputy Surveyors were Joshua Cox, John Hackett, Abraham McClellan, William McClellan, Josiah Patty, John Purris, Jeffery Robinson, James Scott, Robert Tunnell, and Samuel Walker.

Each survey identifies the land surveyed as being in Anderson, Bledsoe, Campbell, Overton, Rhea, or Roane County, with two surveys describing land in Knox County. The present-day counties of Cumberland, Fentress, Loudon, Morgan, Pickett, Scott, Sequatchie, and Union were formed in part from those counties. .

These abstracts are arranged by county and name of\owner. Data includes Survey Number and date, Entry Number and date (if given), the date of recording, the date the plat was lifted or de­ livered, and the number of acres. The description of the location of the land has been limited to landmarks and names of individuals mentioned in the original surveys. The names of the "Sworn Chain Carriers" have been included since it can be shown that frequently the carriers were neighbors or relatives of the ovmer.

It should be noted that these abstracts do not include the recitations tracing the assignment of the certificate on which the survey was based. The lengthy and somewhat repetitious nature of this material prohibits its inclusion here although many of the names of the ~ssignees are not mentioned otherwise. : "

PETITIONERS OF GREEN COUNTY, TENNESSEEJ, ASKING· FOR REDUCTION IN· TAXES, ETC. 1809

Transcribed by Jewel B. standefer (Mrs. E. M.)

To The Honourable the General Assembly of the state of Tennessee now sitting in Knoxville. We your hUmble Petitioners, Citizens of Green County Of state afores'd with the Prefference of Prospect beg leaveto·submit & lay before your Honourable bbdytheSupreme power of this state, The grievaJ:lces which we labour under, and hope that you in your wisdom will take the several complaints under your wise consideration and supply each of them as you in your wisdom may deem right. We your Memoralists finding it Extreamly difficUlt from the present Embarrassment abroad, to procure money for a support of meeting the public demand: We hope that you in your wisdom will point out a way by which our Taxes may be reduced: Your Petitioners 'are astonished when taking a view of the Acts passed since the year 1804: Raising of salaries session after ses­ sion till at length some of our officers of Government has double the salary they had when we first became a state: and --- what alarms your petitioners more, is we believe that in the period of time our number of Taxable Inhabitants of the state are double the number than what they were when we first became a State, and we are of the opinion that it would be right for you in your wisdom to repeal every Act passed since the year 1804, giving larger salaries to the officers of Government of every description: On the whole there are'many of r • your petitioners that are scarcely able to procure the common necessaries of life, although called upon --- yearly: Your Memoralists further State that after t.urning(?) to the state land law and perusing it, we are of the opinion from the Expenses incurld, & the dreadfUl effects it may produce in future upon those who have been Innocent purchasers from the state of North Carolina, when their Grants are found without vallid warrants annexed to them: We learn from the 37th section of sd law a preference of two years is given to all who have purchased such grants to procure a vallid warrant to secure their land perhaps a 2d & 3d times, but when we read in the latter part of sd section we cQme to a proviso as follows - viz) provided nothing therein shall be so con­ strued as to prohibit any perso~ having a good & vallid warrant from laying it on the land, where we your petitioners are living on, and have paid the State of North Carolina for it long since: And since have been your obedient subjects paying towards the support of Government yearly: ~d yre'''Y0ur petition­ ers discover that the day of preference is Elapsed on the 3 day of December next: Is it possible that we should become a prey to the desperate speculator Turned out of doors to rove at large: or spend all we have, at a Suit of law trying Cavate, when in fact according to the land law we have no right at all, or at least many of us expect we must purchase more warrants at six times the value of them: And many of your Men now are of the opinion that we have great reason to believe/when taking into view the Act of Congress granting unto the state of Tennessee power to make Titles on all Bonafide Claims/Congress has a reference pre"cisely to the Session Act & Refers to it alone as a guide, but what has been the decision in Judging Claims, Why truly we learn the claims which were long since declared Invallid by the Session Act are now judged to be good in the hands of the money'd men & speculators. Is is possible that we are to have no End to this dark & unknown measure. We therefore, hope that in as much as Congress in her Act in the 3d section has promised to purchase \ land West & South of sd line to satisfy good & Bonafide Claims that you in your wisdom would pass a law to compel all warrants to be laid in a given time within the present limits: so as to have an end to sacrafising our best Inter­ ests, and by an Act of yours make good all grants obtained from the state of -122-

North Carolina where a consideration has been paid & now in the hands of' Innocent purchasers: And your petitioners f'urther pray the replevening law to be continued as you in your wisdom may deem right, and your petitioners as in duty bound will ever pray.

OBITUARY OF MRS. LYDIA A. TAYLOR: "On Tuesday, April l8th, at the family resi­ dence in this county (Massac County, Illinois), Lydia A. Taylor, wife of Thomas J. Taylor, age 39 years. It is but seldom that we are called upon to chronicle the death of anyone who strikes the tenderest sympathies of the heart more directly than that of the above estimable lady. True her demise was not unex­ pected; she has long been a sufferer but her associations have been the most pleasant and her home one where happiness reigned triumphant, save for the presence of the "fell destroyer" who entered and stole the precious jewel away. We extend our sincere condolence ... Lydia A. House, daughter of James H. ahd Lena House, was born in Tennessee, February 6th, l839. Died April l8th, l876 in Massac Co., Ill. Married first, Alexander Clinton Bradshaw; married second, Thoma~ Jefferson Taylor, born stewart Co., Tenn., August 23, l832. The deceas­ ed leaves two children, Frances Bradshaw and Thomas Jefferson Taylor of the family home. Burial was at Pell cemetery. II

He was born in stewart Co., Tenn., August 23, l832. Mr. Taylor was one of the river men on the Mississippi during the early days when "Mark Twain" plied his trade and through the stirring times of the Civil War.
