ALLIED LEWIS FAMILIES
; ; The Lewis families of Madison, Iron, and Reynolds Counties are a prolific clan, which I could not cover in a whole book, let alone a few pages, but I do have some points I would like to make. ; In 1850 Madison County census, there were 5 families, three of which lived next door to each other that I feel must have been related as mentioned previously. ; The other two I'm not certain of were Furney Lewis, born N.C., age 31, who had married Nancy Perringer in 1838, Madison County and had four children, John, 10, Amanda 7, Leonard 6, and Martha 1 in the 1850 census. ; The other was John Lewis, 41 from S.C., wife Caroline 20, Laura 2, and John L. 5 mo. ; I make this point because each had a son John that will later be important. ; The two families that were: ; #496-Jacob Lewis-45-born N.C., Sarah 17 TN, Bidda 15, TN, Martha E. 13, Eli, 11, John Y., 9, & Catherine 7, all born TN, Hugh P. 5, Polly Ann 4, James Millow, 2, and Emiline 3 mo. ; There was also Eliza J. 10, born TN, who belonged to Jacob but w
In 1860 Iron County census I found: ; the John Lewis from SC, who married Caroline, Robert Lewis, the son of Georg who had been in Arkansas, next door to him was John and Emiline Lewis, and next to them was Benjamin Lewis, son of George also. ; ; Close bywas John Lewis, Jr. (son of George) and wife Nancy, and closer to Annapolis was William Lewis (son of George also) and finally Elizabeth Lewis, widow of George. ; I did not find David Lewis (who had been in 1850 Madison County census) nor his family again, but early land plats show David Lewis and Oliver Lewis (his son) owning land right near John, George and all the other Lewises.
Other Lewis researchers in Missouri have mistakingly assumed that John (who married Emiline Dunn) was the son of George, even though they found the two John's listed on the same census. ; I am referring here to the one listed as John Jr. who was 26 in the1860 census, wife Nancy, 25, Delia, 8, George, 6, James, 4, and Benjamin, 8 mo. Who was the real son of George, and was in Marion County TN in 1850. ; Although there was a definite relationship between George and John (who married Emiline), they were notfather and son, but brothers. ; I will concentrate now on George's son Robert, who has family connections with mine, but will first list all of George's children and who they married.
1. Mary, married James Hale and stayed in TN.
2. Catherine, married Robinson Griffith and stayed in Arkansas.
3. Robert, married Mary 'Polly' Griffith, and was in Arkansas before coming to Missouri.

From the notebook - "An Irish Legacy", by William Dunn

ALLIED LEWIS FAMILIES

The Lewis families of Madison, Iron, and Reynolds Counties are a prolific clan, which I could not cover
in a whole book, let alone a few pages, but I do have some points I would like to make.
In 1850 Madison County census, there were 5 families, three of which lived next door to each other that I feel
must have been related as mentioned previously. The other two I'm not certain of were Furney Lewis, born N.C.,
age 31, who had married Nancy Perringer in 1838, Madison County and had four children, John, 10, Amanda 7, Leonard 6,
and Martha 1 in the 1850 census. The other was John Lewis, 41 from S.C., wife Caroline 20, Laura 2, and John L. 5 mo.
I make this point because each had a son John that will later be important. The two families that were: #496-Jacob
Lewis-45-born N.C., Sarah 17 TN, Bidda 15, TN, Martha E. 13, Eli, 11, John Y., 9, & Catherine 7, all born TN, Hugh P. 5,
Polly Ann 4, James Millow, 2, and Emiline 3 mo. There was also Eliza J. 10, born TN, who belonged to Jacob but was in
John and Emiline's house; they had only been married in 1842, so couldn't have had a 10 year old child.
John & Emiline were #497, his age 30, born TN, she was 25, SC, with three sons: Eli, 6, MO, Levi 4, TN, and Libe 2, MO
(This should have been Robert, Leroy, and Eli.) #498-David Lewis, 35, NC, Nancy 35, KY, Oliver 10, TN, George 8, Alabama,
, Becky Ann, 6, MO, Mary 4, and J.B. & P.R. 5 mo. Old twins, all MO. George Lewis, who I think was also a brother,
was in Marion Co. TN (which was where John was from also) in 1850. His family: George Lewis , 48, Elizabeth, 47, John,
21, William, 16, Martha, 13, George, 11, Elizabeth, 9, Andrew, 6, and James, 4. There was also a son, Robert,
married and in Arkansas, two doughters, Mary and Catherine, both married, and 24 year old Ben, who was stayong with
Elihu Dunn and his wife Maria, in Madison Co., MO.
Toward the latter part of the 1850's, George and Elizabeth came to Missouri,
and settled at the mouth of Carver Creek, and one more child was born in Missouri.
George bought land from John and Emiline, and he died before 1860.

In 1860 Iron County census I found: the John Lewis from SC, who married Caroline, Robert Lewis, the son of Georg
who hac been in Arkansas, next door to him was John and Emiline Lewis, and next to them was Benjamin Lewis, son of
George also. Close by was John Lewis, Jr. (son of George) and wife Nancy, and closer to Annapolis was William Lewis
(son of George also) and finally Elizabeth Lewis, widow of George. I did not find David Lewis (who had been in 1850
Madison County census) nor his family again, but early land plats show David Lewis and Oliver Lewis (his son) owning
land right near John, George and all the other Lewises.

Other Lewis researchers in Missouri have mistakingly assumed that John (who married Emiline Dunn) was the son of George,
even though they found the two John's listed on the same census. I am referring here to the one listed as John Jr. who
was 26 in the 1660 census, wife Nancy, 25, Delia, 8, George, 6, James, 4, and Benjamin, 8 mo. Who was the real son of
George, and was in Marion County TN in 1850. Although there was a definite relationship between George and John
(who married Emiline), they were not father and son, but brothers. I will concentrate now on George's son Robert,
who has family connections with mine, but will first list all of George's children and who they married.

1. Mary, married James Hale and stayed in TN.
2. Catherine, married Robinson Griffith and stayed in Arkansas.
3. Robert, married Mary 'Polly' Griffith, and was in Arkansas before coming to Missouri.
4. Benjamin, married Oma Hewitt (He was in MO in 1850).
5. John (listed as Jr.), married Nancy ___?____.
6. William, married Abigail Johnson.
7. Martha 'Patty', married James Casteel.
8. Elizabeth married Thomas Jackson.
9. Andrew, married Angeline Rose.
10. James married Lucinda Wallis.
11. Hepsi, married William Ruble.

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

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

The following is a list of early settlers who lived on the waters off 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 and 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, landowners? 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.

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
