The following biography was written by Phebe (Sanson) Morgan for the
First Families of Tennessee Project,
Moved to Grainger County after his marriage. He takes up land, by
Grant, in the East Tennessee District. During the Creek War he
enlisted in Bunch's Regiment, Capt. Thomas Howell's Company, East
Tennessee Militia. He applied for a Grant of 20 acres in Grainger
County in 1817. He appears in the 1820 census of Grainger County and
has moved to Roane County, Tennessee prior to the birth of Thomas in
1825. In the 1830 census he is listed as living on the North fork of
the Tennessee river. By 1840 he has taken up land in Hamilton County,
Tennessee and is one of the first settlers after the Cherokee removal.
His farm was located north of the Mahan Gap Road, in the vicinity of
the present Meadowview Baptist Church. In the 1850 census his
daughter Melvira is still living at home. Sometime after the 1850
census he moved to Missouri and lived with his son Zaddock. He is
listed with him in the 1860 census, but does not list his wife. That
census also states Zaddock and his wife Elizabeth moved to Missouri
about 1851.
