I have copies of two land deeds dated(1827)(1836)re:parcels of land added to the farm tract of Jonathan GRIFFITH(Forks of the Pike,Dismal Creek,near Liberty,TN)and his son,Moses GRIFFITH.The other names mentioned in the deed re adjoining property are John FITE,Samson WILLIAMS,Moses FITE,Charles JINKINS,Tilman BETHELL,David FITE,J.M.BENNETT,Jessee CARNEY.Any descendants of these men mentioned please contact me.So, many neighbor/children married each other and lines were linked. Jonathan GRIFFITH first settled on the land at Forks of the PIKE(Smith/Dekalb Co)about 1804.apparently came from NC--near the VA border line---Neighbor families probably travelled into Smith Co together.We may find some vital clue/link?--Judy

SULLIVAN, SMOTHERS, WIX

I am researching the SULLIVAN brothers Joseph b 1771, Owen b 1772, Daniel b 1773, and Isaac b 1781 who moved from Orange Co., NC, about 1795-1800 and settled in Tennesse in what was then western Smith Co. and eastern Sumner Co. --- now Macon Co., near/along Goose Creek. The location and timing of their arrival is roughly the same as my SMOTHERS ancestors. I believe I am also a descendant of one of these SULLIVAN brothers (probably Owen through his son Isaac). My gg grandmother, Martha E. Sullivan SMOTHERS b 1832 TN, seems to have had two sisters, Mary Jane SULLIVAN b 1825 TN and Margaret Ann SULLIVAN b 1835 TN who both married WIX and were living in Macon Co., TN, in early 1900.

HIETT, VEATCH, VEACH, WINKLER, WILLIAMS

Looking for information about ancestors of Dr. John HIETT and wife, Alice VEATCH (sometimes spelled VEACH). He was a country doctor around Highland, Jackson County; he died there in Nov, 1902 (according to an eulogy written about him). Alice HIETT, a schoolteacher in Jackson Co. who died in Nashville in 1958, was daughter of William Tell VEATCH (or VEACH) of Jackson County, and Mary Ann WILLIAMS, of Overton County. William Tell VEATCH was reportedly a wheelwright and blacksmith around Highland, also a veteran of Hamilton's Cavalry Battalion (CSA) during the Civil War. Dr. John HIETT had a brother, CPT Ben HIETT, Spanish American War, who is buried in Arlington National Cemetary. They were the sons of John W. HIETT and Emily WINKLER of Smith County. John W. HIETT was a 1LT in the 9th Tennessee Cavalry (CSA) during the Civil War. I have no more info beyond that, but would like more, or advice on how to find more! Thanks!
