Mrs. Goodman,
My name is Jesse Carol Holloway. My mother was Iva Bernice Ozment, daughter of Bowen Hasque Ozment of Drew County, Arkansas. It is obvious from a study of some material you had on your web page that I am of the same line of Ozments as your husband in the Eddins line.
My mother was descended from both of the Ozment brothers (Alfred and James H.) who came to Drew County in the early 1800s. I don't have as much time to spend on my family tree as I would like; but I have nearly 50000 names in my family file at the present time. Along with the Owen and Raley lines in myfathers family, I have some names going back to well before 1000 AD. I would be interested in corresponding with you and others regarding the Ozment/Eddins/White family.
My E-Mail address is somewhat restricted by my employer; but I can be reached through email at work to:

My g-g-grandfather was George W. Hewgley who married Rachel Drennan Dec.18, 1823 in Wilson Co., TN. George's father was Abraham I think. He and his wife were living maybe in VA when George was born. George and Rachel migrated to Hickory Co., MO sometime around 1850. I am looking for descendents of this family.

Nancy,...
I have actually spent most of my time on my maternal Winford-Babb-Tarver-Powell line and have made some slight progress; and on the Crudup-Temple line on Dad's side.

I have pretty well determined that Rebecca Temple, wife of John Crudup, and mother of Robert, Elisha Battle, Bennett, and John Crudup, was the daughter of Robert Temple and his wife, Elizabeth Powell. She was the daughter of Dempsey Powell.
  Robert was perhaps the son of William Temple, Jr, and his wife, Elizabeth Chamblis (Chamnis) and grandson of William Temple, Sr., and Mary Tatum, daughter of Samuel Tatum and his wife, Ann Moor, daughter of John Moor.
As for the Goodmans, I do wish I (we) could find the connection between the Richardsons and the Goodmans in Greene County! Are we correct that Robert Goodman who married Martha Richardson in Wilson County is the son of Robert Goodman, who married (2) Rhoda Landrum? and was father of Stephen?
(editor's note: this question was answered in a long email from Ron Goodman ...

Nancy,
I had seen this information in the book at one time, and took some notes, as some of the same names are related to the Greene Co., Goodmans, esp. Henry Conway.

Henry Conway was the father of the Thomas Conway who was Security for marriage of Amos I. Goodman to Sarah Conway, dau. of Thomas, Blount Co., TN 1801.
Henry Conway was Capt. 14th VA, Cont. Line in the Rev War, and I have copies from recent National Archives visit, of his pension & widow's claims filed in Greene Co., TN, where Henry Conway held large amounts of land on Lick Creek, certainly near the Goodin / Goodmans, as established by several recorded NC Land grants in TN.

The Moore name also appears as Amos Moore Goodman, son of Amos I. Goodman and his 2nd wife, Mourning Jones. I have been unable to identify any Moore family connections, so perhaps the prominence of the Moore family in Greene Co., TN may have something to do with this.

I received the following in re: a query to some folks listed in the Bedford Co., VA web site, with Richardson connections:

Ron,
The Richardson information I have was taken from a manuscript written by Mrs. Bennette Richardson Dinwoody of Salt Lake City, Utah in 1972.
In it she includes her research of wills & land grants in Bedford Co., VA for her Ancestral Richardson Family.
This indenture made 25 Nov 1766 between John Richardson and Susannah, his wife, of Bedford County and Zachariah Neal of said county for the sum of 15 pounds etc. on the Branches of Elk Creek etc. 
The above named wife, Susannah, of John Richardson is named as daughter of Ralph FUQUA as his married daughter, wife of John Richardson; will dated 6 Nov 1765, proved 24 July 1770. Green County Tennessee.

Will of John Ritshidson (Richardson) 18 Aug 1794
First of all, I will and bequeath that my land be divided between my son Johnathan & Obediah. It further names his wife, Susannah, and children: Elizabeth, Mary (youngest), Joseph, Jesse, Zillir and Fewquay.
Executors names: Susannah his wife and Fewquay his son.

I decided not to write all of the will, if you need a copy I will have to send it through snail mail if you will give me you address. Hope this helps.
Judy
=======================
To which I responded:
=======================
This is certainly the family I have been searching for!! Thanks.
I would like to have a copy of John Richardson's will, as well as the Ralph Fuqua will, if you have that.
I am also related to the Fuqua family, by my G-G-G-Grandmother, Celia Fuqua Reynolds, dau. of John Fuqua (d. 1796, Bedford Co.) and Anna Harrison. They also had a son Ralph.

Wit. Thos. Lipscomb, James Howard, Benj. Dumas.
Deed also signed by wife, Susanna Richardson.

Benjamin Dumas owned a mill & dam adjacent to the property of Benjamin & Samuel Goodman in Louisa Co., purchased from same.
John Richardson apparently spent Rev. War in Bedford, VA militia, (Col. Jno. Richardson?).

... others to same individuals in various Greene Co. locations ....

Bef. 1795 John Richardson Died. Greene, TN Co.Ct. Minutes No #/391. Will entered. Wife Susanna Richardson, executrix. This is the will you mentioned.

As to the Richardson / Goodman connections:
In Tennessee Tidbits, 1778-1914, Vol. 1, compiled by Marjorie Hood Fischer, found:

Aug 1790, Greene Co., TN Court Minutes, #/170. Robert and Amos Goodman, children of John Goodman, were ordered committed to the care of John Richardson until further orders.
Stephen and Sarah and Rachel Goodman were committed to the care of Jos. Richardson.
The above named Joseph Richardson had married Susannah Goodman, dau. of John Goodman, July 1, 1790.

Blount Co. TN (formed from Greene Co) Court minutes, Nov Term, 1804, #B/32: Orphans Joseph Richardson, 11 yrs & 5 mo, and Drury Richardson, 7 yrs & 4 mo, bound to John Black Cusak until they are 21.
These are probably the sons of Joseph Richardson & Susanna (Goodman) Richardson. The Drury Richardson name is interesting, as it may connect Susannah Goodman to the Drury Goodin/Goodman, signer of the Watauga Petition of 1777, and also the Drury Goodman line of TN that also frequently contains the Ansel Goodman name.

Obediah Richardson married Sarah Jane Goodman in Greene Co., TN, May 16, 1797, and they removed to Barren Co., KY, where Obediah died before 1810, as Sarah Goodman, widow of Obediah Richardson, married that year to Mathias Harper in Barren Co., KY, Security by Matthias Reynolds, deacon of Green River Church (Bapt.), and husband of Martha Goodman. They married in Bedford Co., VA before removing to Barren Co., KY.

18 Nov 1788, Rev. John Goodman (b. abt 1761) officiated at the marriage of Martha Goodman and Matthias Reynolds, performed in Bedford Co., VA.
John and Martha were probably related.
Martha was probably related, perhaps an aunt, to the Amos I. Goodman, b. 1782 in Bedford. and son of the John Goodman who d. 1790 in Greene Co., TN., as Amos I. Goodman later removed to Barren Co., KY, and settled very near to Matthias Reynolds, as established by Barren Co., 1810 census, which was not alphebetized, but appears to be in household order as originally taken.

Matthias Harper, Matthias Reynolds and Amos I. Goodman all appear as close neighbors in 1810 census of Barren Co., KY., and Matthias and Martha Reynolds and Goodman families were members of Green River Bapt. Church of Barren Co.
Edward Reynolds and his wife Celia Fuqua, and other Fuqua and Reynolds families were also members of this church.

Close knit families, indeed!
Regards,
Ron

Dear Nancy,
Thanks for the info on the Richardson-Goodmans....We are slowly getting there.
I really haven't poured over this for minute details, but it would seem to help support the idea that ROBERT GOODMAN, son of JOHN, went back to Bedford Co., VA, where he married ANN NEAL, daughter of ZEPHANIAH NEAL.
According to data I got from the FTW-WFT files,
ZEPHANIAH NEAL was born in 1753 in Bedford Co., VA, and married there about 1778, Elizabeth "Betty" Neal .
He died June 3, 1845 in Wilson Co., TN, and is listed as a soldier in the Revolutionary War.
ZEPHANIAH NEAL was the son of
DANIEL NEAL (O'NEAL), born 1721,
living in his youth in Charles Co., MD, and married MARY DODSON (HEUTON/HEWTON).  
DANIEL NEAL was son of
JOHN NEALE (O'NEAL) and ELIZABETH HUNGERFORD.
ELIZABETH "BETTY" NEAL was born about 1755 in Bedford Co., VA, and died about 1840- 43, in Wilson Co., TN.
She was the daughter of ZACHARIAH NEAL and his wife MARY.
ZACHARIAH was a brother of DANIEL NEAL, above.
I was at first leery of the idea that ROBERT would have gone back to VA to get married, but in two of my families, men did go back to VA for various and sundry reasons.
Accord- ing to the CARTMELL family histories, NATHANIEL CARTMELL (b.1794), my gt-gt-gt-gd father, went back several times to visit relatives in Frederick Co., and JAMES DRAKE, father of AlBRITTAIN and gdfather of SOPHIA VALENTINE DRAKE ALFORD, died in Richmond, VA, and his will was written there, even though he was then living in Nash Co., NC.
Since the GOODMANS and their relatives liked to intermarry, I guess he wanted to continue the tradition????
I have been hard at work on so many of my lines lately.
I have found that ROBERT HALL JARMAN (1781-1849) was son of ROBERT JARMAN (which I knew) and PHILOPENA KOONCE (which I didn't).
She was probably the daughter of GEORGE KOONCE, JR.,  gddaughter of GEORGE, SR, and gt-grdaughter of JOHN KOONCE, SR., and his wife, ALICE (ALICIA/ALISIA), the immigrants from Germany and who were killed by the Inidans not long after settling in NC.
ROBERT HALL's wife, SUSANNAH SMALL, was the daughter of REUBEN SMALL and his wife, CATHERINE, who we think was also a KOONCE, and perhaps sister of PHILOPENA
...the KOONCES, SMALLS and JARMANS were intermarrying "fools", too!
After REUBEN  SMALL died, CATHERINE married LEVIN WILSON.
REUBEN SMALL was the son of AMOS SMALL and his wife, SARAH SLOBOCK (which is written ALL sorts of ways).
She was probably the daughter of JACOB SLOBOCK, as she and AMOS witnessed his will in Carteret Co., NC, October 13, 1755.
[I need to get a copy of the will].

AMOS SMALL was son of BENJAMIN SMALL and his wife, MARY KNIGHT, probably daughter of JOHN KNIGHT.
BENJAMIN SMALL was son of JOHN SMALL and ALICE HOLLOWELL...etc.

All of the new info I have dug up since Christmas!
I have listed it here, since many Wilson Co., families have connections.
[Winsetts, Gibsons, Pattersons, etc.]
ETC is my favorite word it seems this morning.
After 40+ years I have finally gotten on the right track in locating my mother's paternal line.
The ALLEN family is a difficult one. But my great aunt Grace Allen Hurt (whose mother was a CASTLEMAN), told me that her grandmother was MARTHA JANE HAGAN, the daughter of JERUSHA ENSLEY and her husband, WILLIAM H. HAGAN. And that the brother of JERUSHA was ENOCH ENSLEY of Davidson Co.
Well, some of this was correct and some wasn't.
MARTHA JANE was the daughter of JERUSHA, but not by WILLIAM HAGAN. Seems she married about age 15 to MILTON SHOLL, in 1815 in Williamson Co., TN. He was probably the son of ISAAC SHOLL and his wife, CHARITY ELLEDGE, both of whose families are closely related to the BOONE family.
MILTON abandoned JERUSHA, leaving her with two children (one being MARTHA JANE) and went to KY where most of the SHOLL and BOONES had settled, before moving on to MO and IL.
JERUSHA in 1828 married WILLIAM HAGAN.
JERUSHA was one of three children (the other two being PARKER ALEXANDER and MARTHA (PATSEY) ALEXANDER) of HENRY ALEXANDER and his second wife, NAOMI.
His first wife was RACHEL NORMAN, who was probably his first cousin.
NAOMI was the daughter of JOHN DAVIS of NC (Tyrrell/Bath?) who held property in Davidson and WIlliamson Co, TN, and gave a tract to her and HENRY.
At least one son, JOHN, Jr., also came to Middle TN and was a surveyor listed on many of the late 1790 and early 1800 deeds and grant records in Davidson Co.
NAOMI DAVIS first married EDWARD ENSLEY in Tyrrell Co., NC, and had two children: a son, ENOCH, and a daughter, JOANNAH.
EDWARD died and NAOMI married secondly, HENRY ALEXANDER in Tyrrell Co. They moved to Davidson Co, bringing the two ENSLEY (ANSLEY) children with them. After HENRY died prior to 1808, NAOMI married yet a third time, ARTHUR BLAND.
I have the ALEXANDER family back to ANTHONY ALEXANDER and his wife, ANNE, whose eldest son, ANTHONY, JR, was born in 1690 in Berkeley (later Perquimans Precinct) NC.
Again, many Wilson Co. families are related to the above families.
The various County Heritage Books of NC are gold mines of family history if you have not discovered this.
Also, several books by Joseph Watson and Margaret Hofmann are excellent sources for NC roots of Wilson Countians.
More later....

Bob

Nancy,
Feel free to include this information in your web site & share with anyone who may be able to help solidify these connections.
I have not had an opportunity to work on my site much since early April, and it will probably be a while longer before I can integrate my most recent findings, including corrections to some of my earlier surmises about the Goodman family connections in Bedford.
Also note that my web pages may be best accessed at the following:
http://www.jacksonville.net/~rgman/index.htm
Although the old aol site is still up, it is actually just a link to this site. I am still waiting for my ISP to implement support for FrontPage webs, so not all of the advanced test search and interactive features of this site are fully functional yet, but based on the version I run on my own local server, it should be a great place for Goodman & related researchers to share information, without requiring a lot of maintenance on my part.
Please share this url with Bob, if you have not already.

Hey, Nancy!
I think we've got it!....
In the Wills and Inventories of Wilson County, 1843-1848, p. 211, there is the will of ZEPHANIAH NEAL, made July 18,1843, and probated October 8, 1845.
In it he mentions:
(1) son, Daniel Neal
(2) son, Jesse Neal
(3) son, John Neal
(4) daughter, Elizabeth Gholdston
(5) relationship not stated, but probably other children, as they are to share equally in the balance of the estate:
(a) ANNA GOODMAN's heirs (names of them not given)
(b) Polly Brooks
(c) Charles Neal
(d) Zephaniah Neal
and then renames:
(e) Daniel Neal
(f) Jesse Neal
(g) John Neal
He names Eli Gholston as his executor.
Witnesses to the will were Andrew Eskew and Richard Ozment.

In Partlow's abstracts of the Deeds, DB V, p.145 -
ZEPHANIAH NEAL to my daughter, ELIZABETH GHOLSTON 88 acres in Wilson County.
Witnesses Richard Ozment and Eli Gholdston. Dated September 23, 1842.
From same source, DB Z, p. 49-50 -
JOHN NEAL, NANCY NEAL, JESSE NEAL, NOAH NEAL, WILLIAM RAY, MARY A. RAY, JOHN MONROE, and NANCY MONROE, the heirs of ZEPHENIAH NEAL as the children of DANIEL BEAL, deceased, to WILLIAM J. ROGERS their interest in a tract of land.
ZEPHENIAH NEAL left three sons DANIEL NEAL, JESSE NEAL and JOHN NEAL. CHARLES NEAL of Indiana sold land at the request of the legatees. Dated September 15, 1852.
If you do go to Lebanon, would you check the estate settlement records for ZEPHANIAH NEAL?
"ANNA GOODMAN's heirs" should show up in some form receiving their share of the estate.
This should (I hope, I hope) be the missing clue to solve the identity of ROBERT GOODMAN's first wife and prove it was ANN(A) NEAL!
Thanks again!

Nancy,
The Richardson-Goodman Bedford Co. connections are already bearing more fruit.
I received by mail today, a copy of a transcription of the will of John Richardson, 18 Aug 1794, Greene Co., TN.  
In this will, he mentions his youngest daughter Mary, and the will is witnessed by Mary King, probably that daughter, vis: Mary Richardson King.
Also witnessing were John Price and John Guss Jurot, with their X marks.
I have seen the Mary King name before, as wife of Charles Goodman of SC.
Their dau. Nancy Goodman, b. 1809, married Fielding Jeter of Bedford Co. (Our Kin, History of Bedford Co., VA), and they had:
Sarah Ann JETER,
Charles Whitfield JETER,
Mary Elizabeth JETER,
Susan Wesley JETER,
William Andrew JETER.
Fielding Jeter also had a brother, Littleton Jeter.
Children of Nancy Goodman Jeter and Fielding Jeter from LDS IGI computer data.
The Mary King that married Charles Goodman, was probably not the Mary King who witnessed the will of John Richardson in 1794, who was married, and probably at least 21 years old, but may have been her daughter, who according to my IGI info, was b. 1787. Charles Goodman b. 1785 in SC, and d. 1852, Shelby Co., TN.

Nancy,
In the Bell book on Louisa Co. Records, I found some very interesting records pertaining to people named CARVER.
While we have only been able to prove that our Wilson Co., founder, THOMAS CARVER (d. 1821) was eldest son of WILLIAM (d. 1814, Caswell Co) I am trying to connect these two to the people listed in the St. Paul's Parish Register of Stafford Co., VA.
Some of the pertinent births and marriages listed there,
THOMAS CARVER to MARY CLIFT, November 10, 1727;
WILLIAM CARVER, son of THOMAS and MARY CARVER, born July 5, 1737; (no marriage listed for this WILLIAM, but) THOMAS CARVER, son of WILLIAM and SARAH CARVER, born November 2, 1757.

Between these dates, I find JAMES CARVER, THOMAS CARVER, and ARCHIBALD CARVER all in the records of Louisa Co., VA.
JAMES and THOMAS CARVER are mentioned in the Deeds of Louisa Col., VA, 1762-1803, p. 4.
Lewis BURWELL deeded 400 acres to ARCHIBALD CARVER, Sept 20, 1751, p. 1.
Deed from Edward CLARK to ARCHIBALD CARVER proved, Nov 25, 1760, p. 8.
Law suit Roger DIXON vs ARCHIBALD CARVER & GEORGE ROEBUCK, dismissed, Sept 14, 1762, p. 45.
ARCHIBALD CARVER appointed one of three commissioners for a road to be established.
April 10, 1764, p. 76.
An attachment against ARCHIBALD CARVER dated/recorded August 14, 1764, p. 91f.

It has long intrigued me that my ancestor, ARCHIBALD CARVER (b. 1810), the son of WILLIAM (1781-1856) and his wife, ANNIS LEA, who were married in Person Co., NC, in  October, 1808, and WILLIAM being son of THOMAS (d. 1821) and his first wife, CLARA (CLARY), whom I think was CLARY LORD (b. January 12, 1762), daughter of WILLIAM and FRANCES STRATTON LORD, received a name that is completely "foreign" to the rest of this particular CARVER or LEA family.

Since Stratford Co is in the Northeastern corner of VA, it could well be that they stopped off in Louisa Co., VA before moving on to Orange/Caswell/Person County, NC.
Just thought I would throw this out to other relatives interested in the CARVER ancestry.

Hey, Nancy!
I have found some great news! At least it is news to me.
I have found that the MICHAEL GLEAVES family cemetery is still in existence and contains about nine or ten graves.

It is located on the property of DuPont northeast of the DMT, Old Hickory facility.
Are you familiar with this graveyard?
The Wilson County Gleaves families are descendants of MICHAEL and RACHEL GLEAVES or are the descendants of his brother, WILLIAM, of Wythe Co., VA.

According to an e-mail just received this morning from Dennis GLAVES, this is information on the GLEAVES/GLAVES family.
Mr. GLAVES is a direct descendant of MICHAEL's younger brother, MATTHEW, who spelled the family name GLAVES.

MATTHEW GLEAVES, SR. and his wife, ESTER (sic) were the parents of at least five children:
(1) MARY;
(2) WILLIAM;
(3) MICHAEL;
(4) ESTER; and
(5) MATTHEW, JR.
A sixth possible child, ELIZABETH, is listed in a 1771 lawsuit, but Mr. GLAVES believes that this was ELIZABETH TURK GLEAVES, the wife of WILLIAM.

Mr. GLAVES thinks that MICHAEL was married more than once, as there is mention in an early 1780s tax list of MICHAEL with an "infant Mary Dorcas Gleaves." This woman later married JOHN DAVIS in Davidson Co., TN, August 4, 1798.

Hi Bob:

... I didn't realize any cemeteries were on the duPont property, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Do you know if it is accessible to the public? Wonder how we could find out, and maybe I can check it out for you if it is. I will make some phone calls to Old Hickory and see what I can find out.
I got some new info on one of my mother's lines yesterday, a very nice gentleman, Bob Puryear, who is a retired Metro employee, got my notes about my Johnson-Mullins line in Smith County, and lo, and behold, when he went to the State Archives, he looked them up in the 1900, 1910, and 1920 census records. He said there are books with the census info in the reading room at TSLA; one reason I don't get into the census records is because I don't deal well with microfilm, I have to take my glasses off and stick my nose right down on the film in order to read it!!

So I guess I'd better get myself down to TSLA and see what they have new!!

Anyway, wanted to see if you have anything on BARTON in Wilson County...Bob Puryear's line..he said there is a small graveyard in Wilson County with Gabriel Barton, wife Jane Johnson (whose mother was Eleanor Johnson), and in the same cemetery are Anna Robertson Barton, granddaughter, 1 year old, plus graves for William BAIRD and Mary Robertson Baird, plus another grave for Sarah Robertson. I looked in the Baird info I had (not my line, just happened to have it) and didn't see them, but wondered if by chance you had anything on them.

Hi, Nancy,
I have written to Ed Gleaves and he is sending me what he has on the family!
Having been away from the area so long, I am no longer sure of street names and such, so I would not be able to tell you for sure how to find the cemetery. Perhaps Vivian Hull could help.

As for the BARTON cemetery, I am not familiar with it. When I copied the tombstones in various cemeteries around the Mt. Juliet-Leeville to Davidson Co., line, years ago, I did not come across it. It is probably in what was the 3rd Civil District in 1850.
Here is what I have on the BARTON family:
Edmund Crutcher, John W. Peyton and Walter Carruth appointed administrators of SAMUEL BARTON. [QCR, 1816-1819, 9-17-1817, p. 171]
In a legal record dated 12-14-1796 on p.16ff. SAMUEL BARTON gives title to more than 12,000 acres of land in WCT to "my 7 children: JANE BRADLEY, wife of JOHN BRADLEY; MARGARET BARTON; SAMUEL BARTON; ELIZABETH BARTON; JOSEPH BARTON; STEPHEN BARTON: and GABRIEL BARTON."
Stephen Barton married Eleanor Baird (Beard), 2-14-1807, with Zebulon Baird (Beard) bondsman.
GABRIEL BARTON married JANE JOHNSON, 12-28-1819, with Samuel Calhoun, bondsman.
Benjamin Coats v GABRIEL BARTON, Peggy Barton, John Barton of WCT; Thomas Dooley and wife, Elizabeth, William Woodward and wife, Jane, of LA: Joseph Barton departed this life intestate in 1820 leaving his brother the said GABRIEL BARTON; the infant children of Samuel Barton, deceased, to wit:
the said Peggy and John, the said Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Dooley, and the said Jane, the wife of William Woodward, his heirs. Joseph Barton died in LA
[CCR, 1821-1830,, p. 11f]
Joseph Barton of Hempstead Co., AK Territory, to Benjamin Coats, a tract of land.
[CCR, 11-6-1819, p. 12f]
Samuel Barton is in default as guardian of John Barton, a minor heir of Samuel Barton, deceased. Alexander Beard is charged with mismanaging the administration of the estate. [CCR, 1833-1837, 10-?-1832, p. 8ff]
James Turner v Alexander Baird. The said Turner was one of the securities for Alexander Baird as administrator of Samuel Barton, deceased. [CCR, 1830-1833, 5-9-1831, p. 139f]
Alexander Beard of the AK Territory to Margaret Barton and John Barton, heirs of Samuel Barton, deceased, for 170 acres on Round Lick Creek. [DB K, p. 433ff]
Ann Barton, Margaret Wilson and John B. Barton to John C. Lash for 174 acres on Round Lick Creek for the use of Jemima Lash, wife of Harmon Lash, during her  lifetime. [DB Q, 8-9-1834, p. 77f]
Ann Barton, Margaret Wilson and Joseph L. Wilson and John B. Barton to William Shanks for 80 acres on Round Lick Creek. [DB Q, 9-26-1820, p. 78f]
Ann Barton, Margaret Wilson and John B. Barton to Henry Heath for 143 acres on Round Lick Creek. [DB Q, 4-14-1834, p. 80f]
John B. Barton and Ewing Wilson to William Davidson for 183 acres on Round Lick Creek which was part of a 470 acre grant to John Barton and J.L. Wilson. [DB Q, 6-28-1836, p. 485]
James Turner to GABRIEL BARTON, guardian of John B. Barton, an heir of Samuel Barton, deceased, for 81 acres on Round Lick Creek. -DB R, 7-2-1832, p. 119f.]
JANE JOHNSON who married GABRIEL BARTON was the daughter of ALEXANDER JOHNSON, whose will is dated 5-3-1811 and proved 9-7-1811 [1802-1814, p. 263]
wife: Eleanor JOHNSON
daughter: Mary (JOHNSON) Cahoon (sic)
son : Robertson JOHNSON
son: John JOHNSON
son: Daniel JOHNSON
