Morgan County, TN info
Billie Harris - Jul 2, 2010
Darlene Griffin has obtained copies of information from Morgan and Scott counties and has been kind enough to send me copies. Following is what she sent from Morgan County.
Deed Book A-B-E: 42-43 (Original Book A, page 87) 12 May 1821. From ANDERSON LUALLEN to ANDREW LUALLEN. Consideration $150. 50 acres .. on Wolf Creek .. which tract of land was conveyed to the said LUALLEN by NATHANIEL TAYLOR.../s/ Anderson (his x mark) LUALLEN. Wit. Walter (his x mark) DAVIS, Benj. C. WHITE. Acknowledged July Term 1821. Registerdd 14 Dec. 1821.
Also on that same page are two more deeds relating to DAVIS on Wolf Creek. Note Davis is mentioned in the Deed above from Anderson to Andrew so these two individuals are probably related somehow.
1. From Ezekiel Wilhite to Robert DAVIS 12 acres on Wolf Creek. Witnesses were Henry Begley, William Bridgewaters. Oct. 15, 1821
2. From Ezekiel Wilhite to Robert Davis 8 acres on wilf Creek beginning at a branch near Taylor's line. Witnesses were Henry Begley and William Bridgewaters.
