James Sandusky m. Nancy Lillard abt 1804
Violet Harris 9/10/99
James Sandusky was the heir at law of Emanuel Sandusky, who died in present Greene County, Tennessee, about 1790, and after selling his father's plantation of 640 acres, more or less, he built a grist mill on Big Pigeon Creek and a three story log house in what is now Cocke County, Tennessee.
Contrary to DavidLillard's genealogy of the Lillard family, Nancy Lillard, to whom James Sandusky was married, had at least a son, John, born ca 1799, and Mary, born August 30, 1803, who married her cousin, James Lillard III, in 1818. James Sandusky died shortly she was born, for Nancy Sandusky married Joseph Allen and to them was bornVirginia Rose Allen on Nov. 2, 1806. Actually Allen left Nancy before the child was born and then she married Absolem Coleman, by whom she had Sarah and seven other children.

After James Sandusky's death, his sister, Mary, and her husband, John Gorman, acquired the mill and log house and lived there the rest of their lives. Mary, James Sandusky's daughter, was raised by her grandfather,Colonel William Lillard, first in Cocke County, and second, after 1816, in Missouri, where she married James Lillard. The other children ofJames and Nancy Sandusky were probably reared by his sister, Catherine Sandusky, who was married to John Leath, and lived in Giles County, Tennessee. Hence many of the Sanduskys of Giles County were the grandchildren of James Sandusky of Cocke County.More Replies:
