More on the Bedford Co TN and Franklin Co NC connections

The Fall 2025 edition of the Bedford County Tennessee Quarterly is out and has an article about Revolutionary Veterans who were in Bedford County.  I was happy to see such a listing.  The article mentioned my 4th Great Grandfather, William Harrison noting that the info for his listing came from Texas DAR Roster.  I am baffled by the year of death they are showing  as 1816 so I'm trying to find the listing in the Texas DAR.  I found several who had joined under his service but they were all showing 1833 as the date of death.  There has been some confusion whether the month was Jan. or Jun., his year of death is 1833(given in widow, Elvira's pension file.)   William Harrison is enumerated in the 1830 census in Bedford Co. TN's  District 9 surrounded by family.  He is mentioned on the 1835 listing of pensioners but as having died in 1833.  His listing is under Rutherford County but the age would imply that it is him since he was born about 1749.  Rutherford County was over the county line just north of where he was in 1830. Since this was from a file

The is a deed between Thomas Callen and Jackson Lile in Bedford County TN Deed Book FF page 159 in October of 1834 that mentions Harrison in the land description in reference to a nearby tract. Specifically it says "beginning at a Black Oak & Dogwood near South of the place old man Harrison lived & died."  I'd really like to get this all figured out and find out where he is buried as well.

It's also worth noting that Jackson Lyle/Lile mentioned in the deed likely is connected to the Jackson Lyle who was in the Franklin Co NC Tax lists.

I need to look further into the females within the families as their might be a connection. Also need to work the deeds for Franklin Co NC.
