We know Son JAMES D. SARRETT already owned property in Sevier County,
by the 1850 Census Record. It is believed that he owned the property,
which belonged to his wife's first husband JACKSON HAGGARD, bought
from Mc ATCHLEY, on 14 Nov. 1835. Records show (Sevier Co., TN
Surveyor Book, 2, Page 75) He "Entered #1959" 150 acres,
of land lying on the waters of Kellums Creek prior to 16th of
Dec. 1851; Surveyed on 24th of Feb. 1852, by JOHN MULLENDORE, THE
Chain Carriers were his Father-in-law EZEKIEL WATERS and adjoining
neighbor JOHN LEWALLING. This 150 acre Land Grant #2863, was Recorded
in Vol. 29th. Page 568, on 24th Feb. 1852. The boundary description
of this Grant, list that JAMES D. SARRETT owned at lest two additional
tracts of land. Line 5 list "to a small Pine on the line of JAMES
D. SARRETT" this would be South of the Grant Property, going
East 90 Poles, then North 63 Poles to a Black Oak.
This GRANT needs additional research. Their should be a claim or (the
Petition) that James D. Sarrett, file to get official authorization (a
Warrant) to have the tract surveyed to produce a legal description
(the Plat) so the Government can grant title to this specific piece
of land (the first-title Deed) or Grant. This could be for serving
in the Mexican War, Congress, in 1847 authorized 160 acres for soldiers
serving one year or more, 40 acres for serving less than a year. The
Acts of Congress of 1850 - 1855, were not to encourage enlistments,
but to reward former service. The act of 1850 extended bounty land
to officers and enlisted men who had NOT previously received land
and who served in ANY war since 1790, including the Indian Wars. The
Tenn. State Library & Archives (TSL&A) located at 403 7th. Ave.
North, Nashville, TN. 37219, in the Archives Section has a Microfilm

was in prison with me, when his father was brought in, he (JAMES D.
SERATT) remained in same prison until he died the latter part of same
summer. I saw him after he died. He was NOT a soldier and was not

Since the start of the War, in 1861 no body was left to run the some
200 acre Kellum Creek farm, and at the time of JAMES D. SARRETT'S
death the sons had not returned from the War. The Widowed Fanny
(WATERS) HAGGARD SARRETT, was 52 years old.
Step-son EZEKIEL L. HAGGARD, had just been Paroled at Asheville,
Buncombe, North Carolina on 26th of April 1865. (Confederate troops
"Surrendered" to the Union Federals at the end of the War)
He was 27 years old on 01 May 1865, the date he "Took it upon
him self" and filed the Bond for the Administration and Executor
of JAMES D. SARRETT, dec'd Estate, by placing a $500 Bound with
the Court. Good friend 27 year old WILLIAM F. NICHOLS was his Security.
On the same day 01 May 1965, the County Court appointed neighbors

to go out on the property and "Layoff and set apart"
a years support to the Widow Fanny (WATERS) HAGGARD

consisted of $29.45 "cash on hand" and some 25 items, 2 cows,
farm machinery misc tools, and kitchen ware. This "Inventory"
was auction off on 26th May 1865, and the Estate collected $116.70.
Its interesting to note that Fanny (WATERS) HAGGARD SARRETT, bought
back her own Milk Cow, Sugar Holders, Clock, Spinning Wheel, both
one horse plows and a Grind Stone, all for $9.75.
GIDEON MAPLES,
JAMES MAPLES and
E. C. ALLESON
all bought "a lot of Books" it would be interesting to know what
the title of these books were, and who read them ?
On 02 October 1865, the Court appointed Fanny (WATERS) HAGGARD
SARRETT, Guardian to the Minor Heirs of JAMES D. SARRETT, dec'd.
Who gave Bond in the sum of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000), with Son
EZEKIEL L. HAGGARD, age 27 and WILLIAM F. NICHOLS, age 27 as Security.
Which Bond was approved by the Court and she duly qualified. No "Heirs"

On 01st of Nov. 1865, EZEKIEL L. HAGGARD came and filed this Petition,
for the sale of the two (2) undivided interest in the lands of which
the said JAMES D. SARRETT, died seized and passed. The Court asked
the Clerk & Masters Mr. M. A. RAWLINGS, to check out this Petition
to see the following and report back to the Court.:
[1st What is the value of the two (2) undivided interest
in Lands mentioned in the Petition, in this cause
[2nd Whether said Lands can be Petitioned among the
Heirs without manifest injury to the Farm.
[3rd Whether it will not be to the interest of all
concerned, to have the two (2) undivided interest sold, and the proceeds
applied to the rest of said Minors, and that he respond to the next
turn of the Court.
Their is a record in the possession of the personal collection of
my 2nd Cousin Marie (Matthews) Ottinger of a Deed of Trust,
dated 20 Nov. 1865 of Fanny (WATERS) HAGGARD SARRETT to son
SAMUEL H. SARRETT, for two 50 acre Tracts of land for $500, of the

That he was well acquainted with JAMES D. SARRETT dec'd the father
of said Soldier Wm. J. SARRETT, was his nearest neighbor at the
time he was "Crippled" and the first man at his house after
the accident occurred, he was badly "Crippled" in his right
leg by a tree falling on him. Which rendered him unable to labor as
long as he livid he being a Farmer; said SARRETT was on or about
the 25th day of Feb. 1864. Captured and taken off by Rebels and
put in Prison. Where he died on or about the 4th day of September
1864, at Andersonville, Georgia.
The said JAMES D. SARRETT was a Poor man, made his
living as long as he was able by Farming. He owned some land, but
not sufficient to make a support for him and family. He rented land
from me at different times and to my knowledge he rented every year
from some one or other.
After his death his widow suffered nearly all the property
belonging to him, by law sold to pay his debts, which failed to wait,
and the lands were sold which still left a deficiency of about one
hundred dollars. The mother of the Soldier was consequently dependent
upon the labor of her son for a support, he being a minor and would
have been living at home and she receiving the benefit of his labor.
I further know that the Soldier was in the habit of working
out from house for the benefit of the family, and that I am not interested
in this claim.

After some Five years (1882-1887), the Federal Pension Commission
Office REJECTED the Widow Fanny (WATERS) HAGGARD SARRETT ATCHLEY,
Pension and affidavits request, by "Examiner" CHARLES E.
MOTT on 22 Oct. 1887. 75
"Submitted for rejection on the ground of the neglect,
and apparent inability of the claimant to furnish proof showing dependence,
________, income, means of support, celibacy, and contributions.
This claim has been abandoned (four) years."
E. E. M., Exr.
It went in front of the "BOARD OF REVIEW" on 16 Nov. 1887.
The "Legal Reviewer" was F. WOOD he had a ready made Stamp
which read:
"Rejected on the ground of Claimants failure after a
reasonable time, and due notification, to furnish the necessary evidence
to establish the claim".
Notification was sent to Claimant on 10 Dec. 1887.
It is the opinion of this writer, although there is no specific
statement from the Pension Examiner, but the fact of Fanny (WATERS)
HAGGARD SARRETT' s marriage to WILLIAM ATCHLEY was the main problem,
she did not qualify. (Celibacy.....prs)
The Pension Act of June 27, 1890, opened another opportunity for Fanny
(WATERS) HAGGARD SARRETT ATCHLEY to file for the Third time. This
time she seemed to have a pretty good lawyer JOHN W. ANDES made
the application simple, to the point, with little or no items of conflict.
(such as the previous two were cluttered with items as William middle
initial J. etc.) The two witness her signature mark, Mr. & Mrs. N.
A & CHELNESSA ANN SIMS, swore that they have known her for 15 years.
Mr. JOHN W. ANDES, also got 7 persons to file "General Affidavit"

DEATH OF "Fannie" (WATERS) HAGGARD\SARRETT\ATCHLEY
FRANCES "Fannie" (WATERS) HAGGARD SARRETT\ATCHLEY, born 14
Feb. 1812, died on 29 Nov. 1900, at the age of 79 Years, 9 Months,
and 15 Days. She is buried in the "Adler Branch" Cemetery,
Sevier Co., TN. She survived 4 husbands, the Civil War, 3 of her
five children (Nancy A. (Sarrett) McCarter and Elizabeth Jane (Sarrett)
Hardin were her two children who were living when she died..prs).
4 of her Grandchildren, and one Great-Grand Child.
After the death of my Great-Great-Great-Grandfather JAMES D. SARRETT
in 1864 she was a widow for 17 some years, when she married WILLIAM
ATCHLEY in 1881, which only lasted a year, (It;s been reported she
kicked him out because he did not want to work, it was a Sin not
to work in the Sarrett household ..prs) then for the next 8 years,
she lived with her son SAMUEL H. SARRETT until his death in 1890,
latter for the next 10 years, she lived among her two daughters and
boarding houses, a total of 35 years of her adult life as a "Widow".
FRANCES (WATERS) HAGGARD SARRETT ATCHLEY
Mrs. Fannie Sarrett, was one of the strong early pioneers,
that has made this country as strong as it is today. Born and matured
to adulthood in her home land of Tennessee. Living the hardships of
being a widow for so many years. She had no convinces, and probably
would not have wanted them because she could not understand them as
in her girlhood days. On the other hand she might have welcomed electric
lights, milking machines, gasoline engines, and of coarse Supermarkets.
The love and regard of her children and appreciation of her neighbors,
testified to the high esteem in which she was held.
