Generation No. 8

13. MARY E.9 PIERCE (GEORGE MORTON8, HEPZABAH7 MACY, JETRO6, SARAH5 STARBUCK, JETHRO4, NATHANIEL3, EDWARD2, EDWARD1) was born February 07, 1807 in Carter Co. Tn, and died March 11, 1867 in Carter Co. Tn. She married ABRAHAM CROSS 1820, son of ABRAHAM CROSS and PEACHY GITTE.

Notes for ABRAHAM CROSS:

  1. Cross: This family is an old American family with documented roots back to London, England. There, Leonard and Jane Crosse (note the English "e") sent their son, John, bound in service to work for a Michael Tauney in the Maryland Colony. The year was 1685 and John was to be in service for 9 years. For the next 90 years John's descendants remained in Baltimore County, Maryland. In 1772 four Cross brothers; Abraham, Elisah, William and Zachariah, left Maryland for the Valley of the Holston in Western North Carolina. Settling in what would become Sullivan County, Tennessee, they all served in the American Revolution, mainly as scouts and Indian fighters. All four raised families in Tennessee although Zachariah left early to travel to the Kain-tuck region, eventually living in Logan County, Kentucky for forty years. This move was understandable, for he had married Easter Johnston, the niece of Daniel Boone.

    2. Credit for the above information goes to Walter Cross

  2. Sullivan County remained the home of the Cross clan for several generations until Jefferson Cross, grandson of Abraham, took his family to Monroe County, Kentucky in 1842. There he raised his family and tobacco through the Civil War, with three of his sons; Abraham, James, and Isaac serving in the Union army. The two older boys in Company B of the 9th Kentucky Infantry, and Isaac in Company B of the 37th Kentucky Mounted Infantry. After the war the family returned to Tennesse, this time to Clay County, just across the state line from Monroe County. Abraham would later return to Kentucky and found his branch of the family, his descendents live there today, one of them named Abraham. James produced daughters and his line ended, while Isaac's son Martin would leave for the new state of Oklahoma in 1907.

State-land state surveyed in indiscriminate metes and bounds, except the lands west of the lower Tennessee River, which were surveyed in five-mile-square townships. In 1777, North Carolina annexed its western reserve (now the state of Tennessee), established Washington County, and opened a land office there to issue purchase-warrants for lands ceded by the Indians. That office was closed in 1781. In 1783, North Carolina set aside a military reservation in what is today upper middle Tennessee, out of which bounty lands were to be issued as payment to its revolutionary war soldiers. In its "land-grab act" of 1783, North

Carolina opened for entry its entire western reserve outside the military and Cherokee reservations. At a price of £10 for every one hundred acres, nearly 4 million acres were entered, mostly by speculators, and to a large extent for lands not yet relinquished by the Indians. In that same year North Carolina enacted laws permitting military warrants to be satisfied outside the reservation; and some 8 million acres of Tennessee lands eventually were taken up in this fashion, again largely by speculators who had bought up the soldiers’ warrants. See Shirley Hollis Rice, The Hidden Revolutionary War Land Grants in the Tennessee Military Reservation (Reprint. Lawrenceburg, Tenn.: 1992).

 

In 1789, North Carolina ceded its western reserve to the U.S. government but continued to issue grants for lands in the area during the years of federal control (1790–1796). Disputes involving North Carolina, Tennessee, and the United States prevented Tennessee from opening offices for the sale of public lands for more than a decade after statehood. In terms reached in the Compact of 1806, the United States set aside a Congressional Reservation lying mostly west of the lower Tennessee River, on lands still claimed by the Chickasaw. The United States withheld settlement from that area and disallowed the satisfying of outstanding North Carolina warrants and entries there. Tennessee was permitted to open land offices for the sale of its own lands outside the Congressional

Reservation but was required to continue honoring outstanding North Carolina warrants in those areas.

 

Beginning in 1806, Tennessee enacted laws that addressed and defined the rights of those who had squatted on vacant and unappropriated lands. Occupant grants sought to encourage immigration and recognize the rights of actual settlers by granting small amounts of land based on residence and improvements made to the property. The remainder of the grants issued by the state of Tennessee, representing the bulk of the total, were based on general land sales. These purchase grants eventually sold for as little as one cent per acre. The lands of West Tennessee were opened in 1818, when the Chickasaw surrendered their rights. This district was laid out on a grid system, preferential rights were given to occupants, and offices were opened for land sales. Once again, however,

Tennessee was required to satisfy outstanding North Carolina warrants and entries.

 

The Cherokees had relinquished their rights to the lands of Tennessee in piecemeal fashion, giving up the lands along the southern boundary in 1805 and 1806. The remainder of their lands, the Cherokee Reservation, was ceded in treaties dated 1819 and 1835; the resulting Hiwassee and Ocoee districts were laid out under the GLO land system. Because this area had been exempt from military warrants and from entries under the 1783 act, it was the only section unencumbered by North Carolina claims that had caused so much confusion in the rest of the state.

 

Grants issued by Tennessee, as well as those North Carolina grants issued for Tennessee lands, are on microfilm along with a card file that indexes and summarizes them. Surviving warrants, entries, and surveys are available on microfilm at the Tennessee State Library and Archives Record Group 50. For further discussion of Tennessee’s land history and laws, see Thomas Abernethy, From Frontier to Plantation in Tennessee (Chapel Hill: The University of North Carolina Press, 1932); L.D. Smith, "Land Laws of Tennessee," Tennessee Law Review, vols. 1–3 (Knoxville: Editorial Board of Tennessee Law Review Association, 1922–25); Daniel Dovenbarger, "Land [p.282] Registration in Middle Tennessee" (M.A. thesis, Vanderbilt University, 1981); Thomas B. Jones, "The Public Lands of Tennessee," Tennessee Historical Quarterly 27 (1): 13–36 (Spring 1968); and Henry D. Whitney, The Land Laws of Tennessee

State-Land State

 

Only a small portion of the land granted in Tennessee was free land, and that was granted to those who provided some form of service to North Carolina. Earliest land records, including early grants issued by North Carolina and Tennessee, are microfilmed with a card index available in the Public Services Section of the Tennessee State Library and Archives. Other holdings include land warrants, survey certificates, and records from county register of deeds offices.

 

The earliest land grants are now maintained and available on microfilm at the Tennessee State Library and Archives. Official copies of all Tennessee land grants are bound and filed in the archives. All known grants are indexed in the master index, which is included on these microfilm reels. These consist of the following:

 

• North Carolina grants in Tennessee, 1783–1800, including North Carolina state grants. These land grants are also in the North Carolina State Archives (see North Carolina).

 

• Tennessee general grants date from 1806 to 1927.

 

• Grants were issued by district land offices from 1807 through 1838: East Tennessee District grants, from 1807; Hiwassee District grants, from November 1820; Middle Tennessee District, from 1824; West Tennessee District, beginning in 1826; Mountain District, opening in 1828; Ocoee District, starting in 1838. A pamphlet entitled "Land Grants in the Tennessee State Library and Archives," explains the holdings and is available from the repository.

 

The North Carolina Military Reservation was established in 1783 in the northern section of what was then west Tennessee (present-day middle Tennessee). It encompassed all the area surrounding the loop of the Cumberland River north to the Kentucky/Tennessee state line. A Congressional Reservation was organized on 18 April 1806 in the southwest section of middle Tennessee. The Congressional Reservation's northern border was the North Carolina Military Reservation's southern boundary. The western border for both was that portion of the Tennessee River that flows north. Several published volumes relate to North Carolina Revolutionary service land grants in middle Tennessee.

 

Land grants for the area south of Walker's Line (in Tennessee) are microfilmed and available through the FHL. Originals are indexed and housed in the Kentucky Land Office, Frankfort. Williard Rouse Jillson's work (see Kentucky) covers these grants. A printed source to North Carolina land grants is Betty G. C. Cartwright and L. J. Gardiner, North Carolina Land Grants in Tennessee, 1778–1791 (1958; rev. ed., Easley, S.C.: Southern Historical Press, 1981).

 

Beginning with county organization, land records are available from the register of deeds at the respective county courthouse. Land and property records include transfer of real estate or personal property, mortgages, leases, surveys, and entries. The Tennessee State Library and Archives has microfilmed county deed records that can be ordered by providing name, date, county, and type of record in the request.

 

 

The county court maintains jurisdiction over probate cases. Wills, administrations, and all other records pertaining to probate are recorded in the respective county clerk's office. If the will or administration was contested, the records of these actions may be filed in the circuit court or chancery court. Shelby and Davidson counties have separate probate courts.

 

Many early court records and lists of wills were transcribed by the WPA. Copies of these are usually in the county clerk's office and in the Tennessee State Library and Archives. Most records have been microfilmed and are available through the FHL.

 

Projects to preserve and microfilm probate files, or loose papers, were started in Franklin County in 1979 and in Shelby County in 1981. Microfilm copies are at the Tennessee State Library and Archives. Other counties are following this fine example of record preservation.

 

County courts also hear guardianship and minor civil and criminal cases. Court records date from the organization of the county except in cases where records have been destroyed. See Annie W. Burns, Major Index to Wills and Inventories of Tennessee at the D.A.R. Library, 6 vols. (Washington, D.C.: n.p., 1962–65), which covers Bedford through Meigs counties alphabetically.
