Williamson Co. TN--Dist 25(1836-1840)--J-L

Over the past few years I've been studying Williamson Co TN Dist. 25 in hopes that knowing how the families were interconnected will help  break thru my Cook brick wall.  Using a spreadsheet, I pulled together my notes and information on this community in order to have a quick reference when those surnames showed up in any other parts of my research. I'm publishing this to my blog in the hopes of finding other researchers interested in the area and time period that the information here might help.  This portion contains families who were living in or taxed in District 25 of Williamson Co TN during the years 1836-1840 whose surnames begin with J-L.  When possible I've noted connections in neighboring districts.  Simply put, there is a lot of overlap of families between Williamson Co TN Dist. 25,  the Versailles and Eagleville area of Rutherford Co TN and Bedford Co TN Dist. 10(Rover). Also please note that anyone listed as NOT enumerated in District 25 should probably read not listed as Head of Household in Williamson Co. TN District 25.  They may be within another household OR they may not be enumerated at all within the district for a number of reasons.

connections between the Lambs and the Landrum thru their church, intermarriage and both came to TN

from Union Co SC Specifically those descendants of David Lamb and Esther Landrum]

Little

Alfred L. Little(Dist. 25 Tax List: 1837,1838) Enumerated in Dist. 25 in 1840.
He was also among those who made purchases at the Estate Sale of Joseph S Cook.

He married Martha Pope daughter of Charles Pope & Elizabeth Smith Pope.  Some

researchers have her as a 1st wife but she may have been the only wife.  The 1850 census

for them is a mess. She couldn't have died by 1851 as some claim as the youngest son's

death certificate said his Mom was a Pope. I'm thinking it is more than likely that Martha E's 

middle name was Emily. At any rate more research is needed and hopefully this will help.
