Jeremiah Early Kilmer married Nancy Williams between 1850-1854. I believe that Nancy Williams and Jeremiah Early Kilmer was married Pulaski County, Arkansas. I found Early and Nancy were married in Pulaski County, Arkansas they may have gone back to Tennessee but I do not think so. I found both Early and Nancy in the same in 1850 Pulaski County, Arkansas. By 1860 Census Early and Nancy were living in Douglas County, Missouri near Early brother Byrum and their Uncle Jeremiah Early Heard. Byrum, Early brother, I believe might go back to Tennessee taking their mother. For Byrum has two children born in somewhere in Tennessee. The 1860 Census in Douglas County, Missouri show Byrum with two children born in TN. I know that Early daughter is said to be born TN. If this true then Early would have married gone to TN by 1854 and return with Jeremiah Early Heard by 1858 for Early next children was born Douglas County, Missouri.

From a reprint of "Lincoln County - History of Tennessee" by Goodspeed Publishing Co. 1886
Joseph Greer settled on his vast domain on Cane Creek near Petersburg. He was a giant in stature, standing six feet seven inches and well built proportionately. He was one of the forty gallant defenders of Watauga Station in 1769. He was also a hero of King s Mountain, and it was he who bore the news of that splendid victory to Congress, then sitting in Philadelphia. He dressed in the style of the old aristocratic Virginia gentleman. Thomas Leonard, Hugh M. Blake, Jesse Riggs, Peter Luna, James Blakemore, Capt. William Crunk and Ezekial March were also settlers on Cane Creek in the first and second decades of this century. Crunk and Blakemore were noted for their social qualities, and dances were frequent at their homes. On Swan Creek, N. G. Pinson, Joel Pinson and Wright Williams were prominent first cane cutters, and men who bore their share of the load in administering public affairs.
Lincoln County was created by an act of the Legislature in 1809. The following is the act so far as it relates to establishment of the county: AN ACT TO ESTABLISH A COUNTY SOUTH OF BEDFORD, TO BE KNOWS BY THE NAME OF LINCOLN

Sec. 2. Be it enacted, that John Whitaker, Sr. Wright Williams, Eli Garret, Littleton Duty and Jesse Woodruff be, and they are hereby, appointed commissioners with full power to procure by purchase, or otherwise, 100 acres of land on or near the north bank of Elk River, as near the center of the county, east and west, as a proper situation will admit of, and at all events not more than two miles from said center.

Thomas WILLIAMS, father of Gilbert Bass's, was born April 15, 1796, and died in Lincoln County, January 26, 1833. He married Nancy MCMULLIN. She was born December 5, 1797, and died at the Gilbert BASS home in 1864. Their children were James Wright WILLIAMS who was born December 23, 1817; Minerva Jane, who was born December 16, 1819: F.

THE VALLEY OF BRADSHAW by Haskell Roden (unpublished) .......the site of this school at Red Oak was on lands that was a part of the original tract of land that William Smith purchased from the Holcombes ant he bought it from Wright Williams, the Lieut. Colonel of the Lincoln County Militia and he lived near Delina, his brother Oliver Williams, brought the Commission from the Governor, Willie Blount from Knoxville, the Capitol., that legalized the formation of the county government of Lincoln County in Fayetteville.... Oliver Williams also was the agent of William Hardy Murfree to sell his 5000 acres of land that he received from the state of North Carolina for his services in the Rev. War and the southern boundary of this Murfree Land Grant was the north boundary of the William Smith lands... Lewis Williams another brother was sheriff of Davidson County, another brother, Nimrod Williams had a 640 acres land grant at Delina, Nimrod, a Rev. War Sol. Lincoln county court records show that Wright Williams was appointed as the Administrator of the estate of Richard Byrd.... Wright Williams was the top commander of the Lincoln county Militia and lived and owned land northeast of the village of Delina and thus would be a close neighbor of Richard Byrd.....But in the war of 1812 Wright Williams headed a company of soldiers under the general command of Gen. Andrew Jackson at the battle of New Orleans and this battle occurred in the year 1815 after the war had been settled and on their way back home to Tenn. Wright Williams died in Pike County Miss. and was buried there in the pine woods on the Brumfield Plantation and remained there for ninety years and was exhumed and interred in the Chalmette National Cemetery below New Orleans, Louisiana, finally getting the recognition that he deserved, (HRO personal note: While researching Chalmette Cemetery for one of my ancestors, I found there was no record of the interment of Wright Williams in the cemetery. The Park Ranger told the story of the park service removing the (very meager) remains of a soldier in Pike County and reinterred them in the Chalmette Cemetery. That was "THEIR" "Unknown Soldier" and that was the way it was going to stay.) Annie Jane Collins was the daughter of Abner Collins, born the 5th of July 1843, died the 12th of Dec 1910, and Gedida Tuley, born the 22nd of Feb. 1848, died the 24th of Sept. 1906, Abner and Gedida Collins are buried in the Tuley family Cemetery. Gedida Tuley was the daughter of James W. Tuley and wife Anna Williams Tuley... James Wilderless Tuley was born in Virginia in 1806, Anna his wife was born in Tenn. in 1812, she was the daughter of Col. Wright Williams who was killed or died at the battle of New Orleans under the command of Gen. Andrew Jackson....The wife of Col. Wright Williams was Anna Davis, born in North Carolina in 1774, she was the daughter of Morgan Davis that died in Lincoln County in 1821, .......Morgan Davis owned land on the headwaters of Swan Creek and the Tuley family Cemetery is believed to be located on this land. Morgan Davis and wife, name unknown are in all probability buried in unmarked graves in the Tuley Cemetery. Morgan Davis had four sons, Amos, John, Jesse and Jonathan and five daughters, Elizabeth Smith, Sally Clayton, Mary Clayton, Hannah Holbert and Anna Williams. .....Col. Wright Williams and wife, Anna Davis were parents of these known children....Morgan Williams, born 1814, and died a young man. His wife was Lucinda McKinney, born the 25th of Feb. 1822, died the 18th of Dec. 1905, and she is buried in the Abraham Sumners family Cemetery beside her second husband, John Brady. Morgan Williams and wife Lucinda McKinney were the parents of these known children, Mary Williams, born 1843, Anna Williams, born the 12th of July 1845, died the 2nd day of April 1924, and is buried in the Sumners family Cemetery...she was the 4th wife of Thomas P. Sumners, born in 1805 and he was forty years her senior, they were the parents of two or three daughters, only one of whom I have any knowledge.. She married first Robert (Bob) Davis and they had three sons, Tommy Davis, a fine clean cut young man that was killed in Flanders Field just seven short days before the Armistice in World War I, Kirk Davis is still living and in poor health (died Apr. 25, 1975), his wife is Vera Coble Davis and they have no children, Willard Davis was the youngest of the three Davis brothers, he married first Dillie Crane than they had four children, Everette Davis born c1918, died April 6th 1924, just four days after the death of his great grand mother, Mrs. Ann Sumners.... Willard and Dillie lived in the old Sumners home with his grandmother who had reared him from childhood......Earl Davis was the second child and Edith Davis was the third and Ladine was the youngest child of the mother, Dillie Davis who died a few years later. Willard married again and raised a large family near Lewisburg. Morgan Williams and wife Lucinda McKinney had another daughter, Sarah Eliza, born the 29th of Feb. 1848, died the 14th of Mar. 1923. She was the wife of Elijah Sumners, born the 14th of June 1852, died the 11th of Oct. 1938, they are buried in the Shiloh Church Cemetery in Lincoln County. They had several children that I did not know, one was named Morgan. I. W. Williams was listed in the 1850 census as nine year of age and a son of Morgan and Lucinda Williams. Morgan Williams died at an unknown date and his widow then married John Brady born in Virginia in 1790, he was many years older than his second wife, Lucinda. They were the parents of one daughter Joanna Brady, and another names unknown that lived in Alabama. Miss Joanna Brady did not marry until the later years of her life, she married Mr. Joe McKinney....She was the mother of a son James (Jim) Brady.........

�On January 13, 1792 John Rains and his son, William Rains were named by the county court to assist in "laying off a road from Nashville to where Daniel Williams, Sr. now lives, thence to Mayfield's Station." "All inhabitants living east of Great South Road on the waters of Brown and Mill Creek and west of the Hurricane Trale leading from Nashville towards Mill Creek will assist." On April 12, 1792 John Rains received a deed from Bennett Searcy.
I am not sure if this was Daniel SR or JR
One of the most interesting incidents connected with the early history of Tennessee, is one in which a man named David Hood figured. He was coming up from Freeland's Station, the present place of residence of Dr. McGavock, below the Sulphur Spring adjoining Nashville, when several Indians gave chase to him, firing upon him as they ran.
He, thinking there was no other chance for his life, concluded to try "possuming it," and so fell flat on his face in the weeds. The Indians ran up and gathered around him, and one of them very deliberately twisted his fingers into his hair to scalp him. His knife being very dull, he let go, took a better hold and sawed away until he could pull it off; poor Hood bearing it meanwhile without a groan. After the deed was done, they stood around for a little while, reloaded their guns and started on toward town, one of them giving him a few stamps in the back.
After a while, Hood raised his head cautiously, peeped out under his arms, and at last finding the coast clear, got up and started toward town. Mounting the ridge above the spring what was his dismay to find himself once more right in the presence of the whole gang. Again he ran, but they again fired upon him as he ran, one of their bullets cutting him deeply across the breast, but finally after getting so close as to pull off one of the skirts of his coat, the Indians abandoned him. When quite spent, he dropped behind a log in the cornfield nearby, after facing around to get one fire at them, and was rescued by some whites who came out at the sound of the firing. He was placed in an out-house, no one thinking he would recover, but the next morning someone going in there, asked him, on finding him still alive, whether he 'wasn't dead?' 'No,' he said in a feeble voice, and he 'thought he could live if he could get half a chance!' They cook his case in hand, and he became a sound man and lived many years to glory in his successful instance of 'possuming.' I often saw Gen. Robertson make up rolls of lint for his wounds.
My father was one engaged in a fight at the Sulphur Spring, on the bank of the run, on the side toward Nashville. A party had been out scouting amongst the licks, when returning past the spring mentioned, they encountered the Indians. A battle ensued, my father having lagged behind to let his horse drink; hearing the guns, he rode up and found the whites in the act of fleeing. He rallied them, and the Indians fled in turn, thus causing Daniel Williams, one of the party to be saved, who was severely wounded in the thigh, and could neither mount his horse nor run. He often spoke to me of my father's having saved his life.�
