Wilson Lightfoot Deeds--Dyer Co TN

There were 3 entries for Wilson Lightfoot in the survey books of Dyer Co. Tennessee. I'm interested in him because I have a cluster of DNA matches(and so do several of my Cook / Putman cousins) that are all descendants of him.  The connection has to be further back(in my Cook / Putman ancestry) because of the way the age groups fall in known relationships from that side.  You can check out the deeds at the links below. Several of the entries mention the Occupant law of 1840. I've not studied the land of West TN because most of my ancestors were concentrated in the Middle Tennessee area.  This was an attempt by TN to get it's western land settled.

I wonder if that law might have been part of the reason that Wm C Cook was in Dyer Co TN.

I didn't find him in the deed or survey book other than his mention in J B Harrison's Deed.    There is a Wm  C Coop in Dyer County at the same time but even with the poor writing in some parts it's still fairly easy to distinguish between my Wm C Cook and the Wm C Coop just by looking at the folks with which they associated.
