* Note: I am well aware that Stones River is not in Wilson Co. All the property that John Everett, Jr. owned (that I am aware of) in Wilson Co. was on Cedar Creek and the Cumberland River. It could be one of three things:
1. A mistake. (Not Likely)
2. The tract of land referred to began at the Stones and went all the way into Wilson Co.
3. The county lines have moved through the years.

Your guess is as good as mine.
