DANIEL GRIFFIN, SR.

Seeking information in Meigs County, Tennessee as to the location of Hickory Flats area. My ggg-grandparents were Daniel GRIFFIN, Sr. and his wife, AON-TA-TA-QUAS-TA. They are listed on the 1835Henderson Roll, but never emigrated west. Their son, Daniel, Jr. etal. did move west, however. It appears that Daniel and his wife and some of his family moved from this area later, possibly relocating to Davidson or Henry County, TN. In 1834-35 Daniel, Sr. and family listed Hickory Flats as their residence. They were neighbors to Dennis WOLF who lived nearby at Big Spring. Richard FIELDS lived near this area earlier on Sale Creek. He donated land for a school. Was this the Hickory Flats School? Is any of this area other than the school named Hickory Flats? What was the school named after? I understand that it is a historical site, but I do not have any information on it. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Also, I would be happy to exchange information. Thanks!!!

MILES, WARE, WALLACE, MORRIS

Henry MILES to Catherine WALLACE both born abt 1833. He was in Civil War in Col. Clifts 7th TN Inf. Vols before it broke up and was then transfered to 1st TN Inf Vols Co. C but they wouldn't take him because he was of "Mixed Blood". Cherokee Indian Blood, we believe. The Guion Millier Application of George Washington MILES husband of Sarah Elizabeth Walton married in Meigs County (Henry's son) stated that his grandfather was Samuel MILES and his mother Vina. There is a Samuel in Roane Co. 1850 Census but he's married to Jane (Jincy) Collins. Lavina Tuten (maiden name Baley) is living next door. There is a George W. Miles (could be Henry's brother) but he's 10. George was supposed to be born in 1850. Also, no Henry is in the family. I did find there was a John E. Miles also serving in the same Company as Henry did in the Civil War but haven't sent away for the papers yet. I found Henry's brother George in Oklahoma in the Indian Territory Census in what is now Sequoyah Co. in 1900. Mary WARE is no longer livin

He lived remainder of his life in McMinn Co. Tenn. His daughter Lovenia married a Mortimer SPRADLING and located to Meigs. Also His daughter Charlotte married Walter B. ROTHWELLl andthey moved to Meigs Co. Tenn. While in McMinn Co. Tyra went by his mother's name of LAWSON. Tyra's mother was Sally LAWSON and his grandfather was John LAWSON. Believed to be the same John LAWSON and Sarah LAWSON reported in Meigs Co. Tenn. 1840 census. Tyra's line reported to have some Cherokee descent . Some of Tyra's children besides Charlotte and Lovinia were Caladonia married to a SIMS, Leonard Bradford (Pat), Eli David, Andrew, Tyre Jr. married to Charlotte McCorkle, George,

My GGgrandparents, Nimrod & Mahala (KELLER) FLOYD were married inRhea County July 6, 1837 and in the 1850 McMinn County census they were listed with 8 children, Enoch, Peter, Ome, George, Samuel, Abraham, Calvin, and Rachel. They had two more children James in 1853, and my great grandfather, John in Nov. 1856. Sept. 1, 1859 Mahala bought land in Dent County, MO and settled there with her 10children. In Goodspeeds History of Dent County a biography of CalvinFloyd says he was born in Meigs County, TN in 1849, so I am assumingthey were either moving around in that area or were near the bordersof those counties. Who were Nimrod's & Mahala's parents? Whathappened to Nimrod? Did he die on the journey to MO or did Mahaladecide to move after his death & why? If anyone can shed any light onthese questions I would appreciate it. Thanks.
