White County, TN
Index, Letter H, Beginning at Book 41
Early on, prior to the early 1700s, the area was controlled by the Shawnee, which led some explorers to call the river that is now called the
Cumberland, the Shawnee River (Williams, 1928).
(Previously controlled by the Shawnee) By some time in the early to mid 1700s, the Cherokee took control of the area.
(Previously control passed from the Shawnee to the Cherokee) With the 1785
Treaty of Hopewell, the Cherokee gave control of the nearby land to the United States.
White County, TN, property was not technically part of the Hopewell Treaty, as the line seemed to follow near or just west of the Falling Water. However, settlers and
surveyors pushed the boundaries, and the United States broke the treaty by not enforcing the promised protection of Cherokee land. Later, on 25 October 1805, the
Cherokee gave control, via one of the Treaties of Tellico, of the remaining area
of what is now White County to the United States.
Meanwhile, the land had been situated in North Carolina until 1789, when North Carolina ceded the western lands, what is now Tennessee, to the United States. In
this process, North Carolina reserved the right to make grants to its Revolutionary War soliders within the Tennessee area, so one often finds North Carolina land
grants in Tennessee. By 1 June 1796, Tennessee had become a state.
Another point to consider is Tennessee county formation. The area that is now White
County, TN, was in Davidson County, which had been formed by North Carolina, until Sumner County formed on 17 November 1786. On 26 October 1799, the area that is
now White County became Smith County, TN, and on 6 November 1801, much of what is now White County became Jackson County, TN, although the Falling Water area
remained in what was then Smith County, TN. On 11 September 1806, the area became White County, TN, and finally, on 11 February 1854, some of the area, that was
previously White County, around the Falling Water became Putnam County, TN, as it is today.

Deed made on 27 March 1796, Sumner County, TN (White County had not yet been formed)
Land transfer between North Carolina and James Easton, assignee of the heirs of Watrow Reed.
Easton was granted the 640 acres but may have paid the family of Watrow Reed some amount of money for it.
This land is bordered on the east by James Easton's land granted as an assignee of James McAdoe. There are two versions of this grant, both pictured below. The second,
and probably older, version makes it clear that solider's name was Watson Reed, not Watrow. Interestingly, the patent is signed by Glasgow, who was involved land
fraud around this time. The warrant/plat was entered 11 March 1795 as entry 3966. Below, after the first three images (two deeds), there are papers, available from
nclandgrants.com, that relate to Watson Reed and James Easton, as well as the original survey. This grant was the first time that an individual of European origin could
say that they owned this 640 acres, equivalent to one square mile.

Land transfer between Elijah Elmore and Smith Elmore, both of White County, TN
Smith Elmore paid $300 for 200 acres on the Falling Water River in White County, TN.
The land was part of a 640 acre tract that had previously been conveyed by William P. Anderson and John McIves to John Richerson. The full tract was known as No. 5 of
a connnection of ten surveys. The line began four post oaks on the north bank of the Falling Water, about 15 poles below the mouth of Elijah Elmore's spring branch,
N80W 208 poles to the west boundary of #5, north 156 poles to the NW corner of #5, east 320 poles to the NE corner of #5, south 120 poles to the Falling Water, down
the Falling Water to the beginning. This land was at the top of survey 5. Witnesses were F. Sullins and George Elmore. It is probable that this Smith Elmore was in
the 1830 census with Elijah.

Deed made on 24 December 1842
Land transfer between Travis Elmore and William Nash
Nash paid $500 for 138 acres in District 8 of White County and on the Falling Water
The land began in the southeast corner of a 640 acre tract conveyed from William P. Anderson and John McIver to John Hutchings and comprised the southeast corner,
bounded by parts of the original southern and eastern boundaries and the Falling Water, of the original 640 acre property. Travis was in Jackson County in the
1840 census. The White/Jackson line was less than a mile from Falling Water at one point. This proximity could explain why some of the deeds cannot be located
because the Jackson County courthouse burned, destroying most deeds and other documents that might have been recorded in that county. This also might be why
some marriage records are not available as well.

Hitchcock's land (of the J.B. Rhea land), east with Hitchcock to the beginning. It is likely that this is the land Rhea purchaed from Bryan above, selling off
103 of the 138 acres here to Howard. I think this is Robert W. Howard who is buried in Howard cemetery near the White County airport.

Ray was the highest bidder at $2940 for 60 acres in District 7 of White County
Bounded on the north and east by Howard, south by Farley, west by Falling Water. The auction was a result of the will of N.H. Hitchcock, probated in White County
and in Will Book J, pages 70-71, in the county clerk's office. Ray and England were the executors and advertised and organized the auction of the land. This is
the land the belonged to Hitchcock at the time of his death. Alice Cunningham and Kate England, children of N.H. and Laura Hitchcock, joined the conveyance, as
did Ida Dowell, widow of S. Hitchcock and guardian of his children. I think S is Storm Hitchcock.

acre tract, north with said line to its corner, a stake, west to the beginning. Witnessed by John S. Rhea. [Were Elmore and Cardwell related? It seems that the land was
once owned by Saylors.]
