ECHOLS/ECKOLS/ECKLES/ACKLES

I would like to know which members of the Echols/Eckols family are mentioned in the will and inventory records of Smith Co., TN. for the 1805-1809 time period.

My guess is that either David or Joel Eckols (whose names also appear in the records of Wilson and Sumner Counties) appears in those records. David's estate was administered in Wilson Co. in 1808 but he had land in Smith Co. about 1801.

Is there any mention of Joel's or of David's having significant others (like siblings/wives/children)? David Eckols had acquired land on Second Creek in Sumner Co. c. 1800 at the same time as did Abner Springs. John and Abner Eckols of Wilson Co. were purchasers at the estate sale of Abner Springs in the early 1820s. Were John, Abner, and David Eckols of 1820's Wilson Co. the orphans of David? Is Joel Eckols mentioned? Thanks for your help.

HAYNES, HANES, HELMANTALLER

Trying to tie gr great grandfather Charlie Hanes/Haynes B 1823 Smith Co, D 1878 Smith Co to other Haynes families in Smith Co in 1800s. Charles Haynes married Margaret Helmantaller 1850. They lived in Gordonsville/Lancaster area all lives. Children were David B 1852 (married Sarah Webb); Amanda B 1854; John B abt 1855 (married 1. Rachel Webb; 2. Jennie Gill Hunt); Thomas Jefferson B 1858 (Married 1. Amanda Hunt; 2. Rebecca Agee); Hettie Ann B abt. 1862 (married Robert H. Hunt); Harriet Elizabeth B. 1863 (Married James Wade); James B. 1865, (Married Annie Preston); Mary B. 1871 (Married Wiley P. Roberts); Sarah B. 1873, (married Ed C. Carpenter); and George B. 1872, (married Julia Smith). By deducing ages in 1820s and English naming convention, I believe David Haynes Jr. or Sr. may be Charles's father. Any help connecting this family to other Smith Co. Haynes families is greatly appreciated.
