Does anyone have documentation of the death date (supposedly 13 Oct. 1805) of Colonel Jonathan Latimer of Sumner Co. TN? What is the source (record)? In "Genealogical and Family History of the State of Connecticut" (pub. 1911) on p. 1905, "Colonel Latimer, with seven sons, removed from Montville to Tennessee about 1790. They moved in emigrant wagons drawn by oxen, and took with them articles and provisions for use on the way. He himself did not live to reach his destination, but died on the journey, and was buried at the place where he died." Obviously, we know that is not true because of the land records and will recorded in Sumner Co. but I have seen it cited by others. I need to find the documentation for his death, so any help will be appreciated.
