State of Tennessee Department of State Tennessee State Library and Archives 403 Seventh Avenue North Nashville, Tennessee 37243-0312 WINCHESTER, JAMES (1752-1856) PAPERS, 1787-1953 Processed by: Manuscript Division Archival Technical Services Accession Number: THS 27 Date Completed: October 11, 1967 Location: I-D-3 Microfilm Accession Number: 794 MICROFILMED INTRODUCTION These papers for the years 1787-1953, relating primarily to the career and activities of General James Winchester, U.S. Army, were given to the Tennessee Historical Society by Mr. George Wynne, Castalian Springs, Tennessee. The materials in this collection measure 1.68 linear feet. There are no restrictions on the materials. Single photocopies of unpublished writings in the James Winchester Papers may be made for purposes of scholarly research. SCOPE AND CONTENT The papers of General James Winchester, numbering approximately 1,100 items and two volumes, contain accounts (bills, notes, receipts), personal and military; correspondence; land records including claims, records, deeds, grants, papers dealing with Memphis land surveys and commissions, court minutes, summonses, etc. Correspondence, mainly James Winchester’s incoming (1793-1825) and outgoing (1796-1826), comprises about half the collection. In addition to the military correspondence, a great portion deals with land speculation. The largest number of letters from any one man to Winchester is that of Judge John Overton, who, apart from being Winchester’s confidant and friend, was his partner in land dealings. There are 116 pieces of correspondence with Overton, and these are primarily on the subject of Memphis lands as Winchester, Overton, and Andrew Jackson were extensively involved in the establishment and early growth of the community.

Descendants of Richard Rainwater by James M
Descendants of Richard Rainwater By James M. Jordan Copyright 1997, 1998 As one story goes, two Rainwater brothers, John and William, emigrated from Germany around 1709. Another says John Rainwater was born about 1695 near Danbury, Virginia and he married in Surry County, North Carolina on 6/24/1735. How could John have been born in Virginia if he emigrated from Germany? Many researchers believe that all Rainwaters descend from John and William. But I know of other Rainwaters that have not been “linked” into this family and may well descend from other ancestors. Who were these early Rainwaters? We know for fact that John Rainwater of Edgecombe Precinct sold land in 1742 to William Rainwater and that this land had originally been patented to John in 1739.1 We also know that a Robert Rainwater came to America in 1706 in King William County, Virginia as an indentured servant.2 It is probably safe to say that Robert Rainwater was born between 1670 - 1700 (6 - 36 years old). Nothing more is known about this Robert Rainwater as he has never been found in any of the early census or patent records except perhaps in the 1790 Federal Census for South Carolina in the 96-District, Spartanburg 1, , County. 3 4 If this is the same Robert Rainwater he would be VERY old and as such, this is unlikely. However, it is possible that this Robert Rainwater is related in some way to Robert Rainwater - indentured servant. Living near Robert Rainwater in the 1790 South Carolina census are John Rainwater and a Thomas Reinwater.

Panton, the Spanish Years
MERCHANT ADVENTURER IN THE OLD SOUTHWEST: WILLIAM PANTON, THE SPANISH YEARS, 1783-1801 by THOMAS DAVIS WATSON, B.A., M.A. A DISSERTATION IN HISTORY Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Approved Annented August, 1972 13 NO'*^ PREFACE Cf The American Revolution suddenly intensified Spain's perennial problem of guarding the approaches to its vast New World empire. By war's end the United States occupied only a relatively narrow strip of land along the Atlantic coast, though its boundaries stretched westward to the Mississippi and southward to Spanish Florida. The new nation soon proved to be a restless, expansive neighbor and a threat to the tenuous Spanish hold on the North Amer ican continent. Spanish policymakers, of course, had anticipated this development long before the end of the revolution. Yet Spanish diplomacy failed to prevent the Americans from acquiring territory in the Mississippi Valley and in the Old Southwest. In the postwar years Spain endeavor? d to keep the United States from realizing its interior claims. Spanish governors of Louisiana alternately intrigued with American frontiersmen in promoting separatist movements, encouraged them to settle in Louisiana and West t'iorida, and subjected them to harassment by limiting their use of the Mississippi They attempted also to extend the northern limits of West Florida well beyond the thirty-first parallel, the boundary established in the British-American peace settlement of 11 Ill 1783. The key to success in this latter undertaking lay in the ability of Spain to deny the United States control over the southern Indians.

Thus, the lines and vilt"ges of the """norial system guide the fields and hrms of lowland Bdtain's coomercia! agriculture, while the plans of Puritiln oligarchies hid out the landscape now occupied by com mercial horticulture and dairying in New England. The most marked lnstitutlon31 influence on the pattern of Americ3n hUm.1n geography Is postulated to be the Northwest Ordinance and the rect"ngu13r hnd system it in"ugur"ted.'

The territory was to be governed under the rules of the Northwest Ordinance, but those who went to govern the area found a culture that required the use of common law to settle the disputes arising from prior governments under other nations. With no precedents on which to rely, disputes led, at first, to dueling and then to libel cases. Both common law and common sense prevailed while many of the disagreements were aired publicly in newspapers.
