Continuing my search on Henry, Joseph, etc. Dave, I don't have it in front of me now but, I got a document from the archives in Nashville that explains the land grants that I kept finding listed for Henry. Nashville was able to explain it to me and what they found.... Henry did not have 2 land grants, not even one. What was found was in 1819, when Joseph McMinn was then governor, he signed a sale of property where Henry Gill bought some acres from a John White. This bill of sale or document was signed in Knoxville, TN. I will have to find the document to say for sure if the land was in Warren Co., TN or White Co., TN. Henry's sister Jane/Jennie married Harrel Byars in Buncombe Co., NC and they moved to McMinnville,Warren Co., TN and raised a large family. I do not know where his brothers William and John ended up. Anyway, the property he bought was some acreage from John White's land grants. Hope this helps. Becky
