Notes

"The family moved to Sumner Co., Tennessee, in the fall of 1799. The first record we have of Joseph McGlothlin in Sumner Co., Tennessee, was in Oct 1799, when he, with John Dinning and Robert Lilley were appointed to help fix a road from Green Town Road in Kentucky to Nashville Road near Daniel Taylors. Joseph purchased 120 acres from Benjamin Grainger, tract on west fork of Drakes Creek waters of Barren River, Sumner Co., Tennessee, 06 Aug 1805; witnesses John Dinning and Thomas Grainger; Deed Book 4, p 241. Most of Joseph and Agness' children stayed in Sumner Co., Tennessee; Alexander McGlothlin moved to Barry Co., Missouri."
