Cocke County, Tennessee
Early Settlers of the Old 12th District

http://www.tngenweb.org/cocke/earlysettlers.htm

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following is a list of early settlers who lived on the waters
of Cosby and Groundhog Creeks, creeks that are mostly in what was
the old 12th district of Cocke County. This list comes from land
entries on Tennessee State Library and Archives (TSLA) microfilm
#36. The label on the copy of the film I have says the land entries
are on the second item on the film; they are on the third item. It
also gives dates of April 1874 to June 1898. These may be the years
that the original book was copied or families brought the originals
to be re-recorded. The actual dates of the land entries are 1824 to
about 1831, making them some of the earliest surviving records of
Cocke County.

The original land entries were surveys and included drawings as well
as descriptions. The drawings were not copied into the new book. The
verbal descriptions often included reference to neighbors. And there
were always two names at the left bottom of the description. I
believe these were witnesses or attestors. I think they were also
neighbors.

I have abstracted the page numbers, landowner's names, dates they
made the entries, any reference to neighbors, and the attestors
names. Most of the landowners lived on the waters of Cosby Creek;
I specifically mention those that lived on Groundhog Creek.

I'm not sure who this Robert Gilliland was. The first census record that survived for Cocke County was in 1830. On it we find this Robert and his son William. They were listed on the same page as Esther, Caleb, and Rachel O'Dell.

In 1833, there was a tract of land that was granted by the state of Tennessee to a John Gilliland in Cocke County that was originally entered by a Robert Gilliland. This land was on the waters of Cosby Creek, the same as where the lands were that were granted to Robert and a William back in 1810. This John Gilliland was in the 1840 and 1850 censuses for Cocke County and was most likely the one married to Elcie O'Dell. A male descendant of John and Elcie's was yDNA tested and found to be in Group 1.

Also, there was another family of Gillilands in Cocke County, Tennessee in the late 1700s and very early 1800s. Those Gillilands were descendants of John Gilliland and his wife Elizabeth Young. While I can not be 100% certain that the 1830 Federal census record for Cocke County refers to this Robert's family and not the John Gilliland family (he also had a son named Robert but he was dead by July 1804 ), there is quite a bit of evidence to support the connection to this Robert. First are the ages of the men in the 1830 census. Most of John's sons were either dead or had moved out of Tennessee by 1830. Second, John did not have a son named William. Robert, on the other hand, as shown in later census records, did. And his age, as well as Robert's, is consistent with the ages found in the 1830 census record for Cocke County. Also, living in the same area in Cocke County in 1830 are families that married into Robert's family and moved with him as he went, first to Marion County, Tennessee, and later to Mi


A Robert Gilliland, along with a William and James, were found in Cocke County in 1821.2 In the 1827 tax list for Cocke County there is just Robert listed.2 There was another family of Gillilands in Cocke County, Tennessee in the late 1700s and very early1800s. Those Gillilands were descendants of John Gilliland and his wife Elizabeth Young. While I can not be 100% certain that these tax records and the 1830 Federal census record for Cocke County refer to Robert's family and not the John Gilliland family, there is quite a bit of evidence to support the connection to Robert. First are the ages of the men in the 1830 census. Most of John's sons were either dead or had moved out of Tennessee by 1830. Second, John did not have a son named William. Robert, onthe other hand, as shown in later census records, did. And his age, as well as Robert's, is consistent with the ages found in the 1830 census record for Cocke County. Also, living in the same area in Cocke County in 1830 are families that married into

There were a series of land grants in Cocke County for a James, Robert and William Gilliland between the years of 1810 and 1836. The two grants for Robert Gilliland were in 1810 and 1833. (According to the website Cocke County, Tennessee; Early Settlers of the Old 12th District, those grants were "on the waters" of Cosby Creek). The Robert that was a son of John and Elizabeth Young Gilliland was dead by July 1804 so neither of these grants could have been for him. The land grant for James was dated 1835. At this point I don't know where James, the son of John, was in 1835. All that I know about him is that he was a Methodist preacher and married to the sister of James Axley. There were five land grants for a William Gilliland (also on Cosby Creek) and, asI mentioned before, John & Elizabeth did not have a son by the name of William.4,5

Robert Gilliland (assuming I have the correct Robert) appeared on the 1830 Federal Census of Cocke County, Tennessee, with a household listed as one male 10-14, one male 40-49, one male 50-59, and one female 15-19.6 He appeared on the 1840 Federal Census of Marion County, Tennessee, with a household listed as one male 5-9, one male 10-14, one male 15-19, one male 20-29, one male 60-69, one female under 5, one female 5-9, one female 20-29, and one female 60-69.7 He appeared on the 1850 Federal Census of District No. 76, Reynolds County, Missouri, enumerated 24 September 1850, living in the household of his son-in-law John Lane and his daughter Hepseba.1

Reseach courstesy of LuAnn Eisinger - http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~elsinger/gilliland/p3.htm#i65

Robert Gilliland Jr. was the son of Robert Gilliland Sr. Robert Gilliland Jr. married Jean ?1 On May 20, 1786, Robert sold 120 acres on Golden Grove Creek to William Armstrong. This was the tract of land that was originally granted to Robert, Sr. on May 26, 1784 but "delivered to his son." A Jean Gilliland also signed the deed. I'm assuming that Jean was Robert's wife. William Brasher was a witness.1

It appears that Robert moved to Kentucky in the latter part of the 1700's. On September 12, 1798, a land warrant was issued to Lewis Phillips for 150 acres of land on Drakes Creek in Warren County, Kentucky. On May 20, 1799, Lewis assigned this land to Robert Gilliland.2 It was then surveyed for Robert on July 13, 1799.3 On November 14, 1803, a patent was issued to Robert for the 150 acres. On March 18, 1805, Robert sold the 150 acres of land that were surveyed to him in 1799 to Alexander Gilliland for $300. We know this was the same land by its description.4 This is most likely the Alexander Gilliland who on December 19, 1801 sold the 251 acres of land on the east side of Saluda River, Greenville District, South Carolina, to Nathan Waddle, for 100 pounds.5

On July 19, 1802, Robert received a warrant for 250 acres of land. The warrant reads that the land was near Alexander Gilliland's 150 acre survey, assignee of Lewis Phillips.6 Robert signed over the right and title of this land to Alexander Gilliland in April (year not readable).6 Alexander had the land surveyed in January 1807 and patented on June 19, 1809.

The early Federal census records for Kentucky were destroyed, but published tax lists have served as replacements. Robert Gilliland is found on Drakes Creek in Warren County for the years 1801, 1802, 1803, and 1804.7

In the book Warren Co, KY Order Book; Vol 2, June 15, 1801 thru January 1, 1805 are found the following entries:

page 318 - July 15, 1802, ordered that Robert Gilliland be exempt from paying county levy in future. (This was generally done when people were old and unable to work.)

page 328 - July 15, 1802, Robert Gilliland, 250 acres beg. corner of Alexander Gilliland's 150 acres, assignee of Lewis Phillips running S 30 E then so far round the said survey for quantity.

page 434 - July 4, 1803, ordered that Robert Gilliland be fined $2.00 for contempt of this court.

page 453 - October 3, 1803, Robert Gilliland's line adjoins James Butler's 200 acres.

page 553 - July 2, 1804, Robert Gileland entitled to 50 acres as per entry filed.8

I could find no Gillilands at all in the 1810 Federal Census for Warren County, Kentucky.
