I've decided that the only reason a volume of records ever
reaches print is that about the time the compiler runs out of
steam someone else comes along and gives the project a boost. At
least that's certainly been true for this volume. This volume directs
the lineage of my SARRETT FAMILY.
This SARRETT family is of a French lineage, and appears to be "Locational" in origin, meaning "One who came from Sarrett". There are several villages in France with the name of SARRETT. The SARRETT name has been difficult to trace. The Surname SARRETT has been variously spelled such as SARRCH, SARETT, SURRETT, SERRETT mainly this is do to the bad hand writing in some of the records available.

The McLAUGHLIN family is a group of Irish-Scotch families of similar cultural and religious backgrounds which came from the Province of ULSTER, County of Antrim, Northern Ireland, known as the "County of nine glens". The McLAUGHLIN surname is an old Scottish personal name which, like many early English, names, became a surname with out any modifications. The "McLAUGHLIN" name was probably introduced in England from Ireland as early as the eleventh century and by the twelfth century it had reached into Yorkshire and Cumberland. Because of the evolution nature of name development, it is virtually impossible to pinpoint the exact date if the formation of any new name. McLAUGHLIN, of course is no exception. However, some of the ancient records of the English nation, give evidence of early forms of this Scottish name and show usage as early as 1307. The progenitor of this McLAUGHLIN lineage in America, was WILLIAM McLAUGHLIN, born about 1832, in Northern Ireland. Married to KATHERINE McGLENDEY also of Ireland birth. All of their children is not known but a daughter ANNA S. McLAUGHLIN married JOHN T. SMITH.
The "McGLENDEY" family name is of the County Donegal, Ireland clan. This McGLENDEY family emigrated to America before the American Revolution, and there were four branches (or families by the name of McGLENDEY) in early Augusta County, Virginia, later in The Ohio Valley. The progenitor of this McGLENDEY family was KATHERINE McGLENDEY who was in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania prior to 1852, who married WILLIAM McLAUGHLIN, and later removed to Genesso Township, Henry County, Illinois.
The SMITH family is one of the most common names in America, its is believed that JAMES SMITH, born in England in 1808 and his wife MARIA (Unknown Maiden name) SMITH, who was born in Ireland about 1820. The removed to Canada at a unknown date where 5 of their 9 children were born. In 1856 the migrated to Davenport, Scott County, Iowa where they lived the remainder of their lives. One of their sons 3rd. child 3rd. son JOHN T. SMITH, was born in Canada in April 1851 and is the progenitor for this lineage in America (this writers Great-Grandfather). JOHN T. SMITH came to America with his parents at an early age of 5 years. He was reared to young manhood in Davenport, Iowa. In 1876 he married ANNA S. McLAUGHLIN born 1852, in Philadelphia, Penn. who removed to Henry Co., Illinois, they removed to Nebraska then relocated to Kansas City Mo. in 1894. JOHN T. SMITH was a "House Painter" by trade, and had seven children, only four which lived to adult- hood.

The WATERS surname appears to be patronymical in origin, and is believed to be associated with the WELSH and ENGLISH, meaning "descendant of Water" (rule, folk)". The WATERS FAMILY can also be found in the WALES area, and while it has been reported that the WATERS of Yorkshire has its origin in WALES, no records have been found to date to verify this, so the search goes on.. Dictionaries of surname indicate probable spelling variations of WATERS to be WATTER; WATER; WATTERS; and WATTERSON. The progenitor of this WATERS lineage in America which came to the Sevier County in the early 1800's who also "married into the COWDENS" can be trace to Capt. EDWARD WATERS, 1584-1630, who was in the Eastern Shore of Virginia in 1608. This was originally (an island) the "Kingdom of Accamake". Two counties were formed in 1662, Accomac and Northampton, hence the seeming change of the settlers who occupied their original grants. EDWARD WATERS married GRACE (O'NELL) WATERS in 1818, and had only two children. The son WILLIAM WATERS, married and had Six sons and one daughter. One of the sons THOMAS WATERS, had a son THOMAS WATERS, Jr. who had two sons one was EZEKIEL WATERS, who was born in what is now called Caswell County, North Carolina; EZEKIEL WATERS had Three sons and One Daughter. The three sons JOHN, EZEKIEL, Jr. and ENOCH WATERS, remained close through out their lives. The Son EZEKIEL WATERS, Jr. came from North Carolina in the 1784 period, EZEKIEL WATERS married Miss NANCY (MANIS) WATERS about 1809. They relocated to Sevier County, Tennessee about 1825, where they had seven children. The 2nd. Child & 2nd. Daughter was FRANCIS "Fannie" WATERS, who married second JAMES D. SARRETT,this writers Great-Great-Grandfather. |
