| 4. | Thomas* Linville, Sr. was born in 1760 in North Carolina or South Carolina (son of Thomas* Linville and Catherine* Scarlett (?) Watkins (?)); died in 1836 in Lafayette Co, Missouri. Other Events and Attributes:
- Census: 1830, Jackson Co, Missouri
Notes:
White County is located in Middle Tennessee, one of the state's three "grand divisions."
White County was formed in 1806 from Smith and Jackson Counties.
In 1806, a petition for county organization, signed by 155 residents, was presented to the General Assembly in Knoxville. On Sep 11, 1806, White County was formed, partitioned from Smith and Jackson Counties. It was a huge area, encompassing all of what is now White and Warren Counties, and parts of the counties of Cannon, Coffee, DeKalb, Franklin, Grundy, Putnam, and Van Buren. Over the next few decades, White County was itself partitioned, causing the eventual move of the County Seat from its original location near the White homestead to Sparta, where it remains. Because of this partitioning, early research should also include Putnam, Van Buren, and Warren counties.
White County is in Middle Tennessee, in the Cumberland Mountains, midway between Nashville and Knoxville, and covers an area of 377 square miles. Called "the Mountain District", it's scenery is said to rival the Swiss Alps. The Center Hill e and Recreation Area lies at the eastern boundry of the county, the "Calf Killer" River runs through the middle of the county, and the beautiful Caney Fork River runs around the southwestern border, near the Warren and DeKalb County lines. Earliest migration was by frontiersmen coming through the Cumberland Gap, but later settlement was due in part to a highway between Knoxville and Nashville that was opened in 1785.

Dear Sherry,
Saw you message below on Thomas Linville. From "Linville Family In America - 300th Anniversary Edition" by Dr. Alice Eichholz
I have that Thomas Linville, b. ca. 1760 NC/SC, d. Feb 1832 Lafayette Co., MO, m.1) Jemimah Campbell, m. 2) Mary Ridge.
When Alice did this 300th Anniversary edition of her book, she did not have all the children of Thomas. But she does list Thomas, b. ca. 1760, as being the son of Thomas and Catherine ____Linville. This elder Thomas was born ca. 1735 VA and died in 1818 in Tennessee, buried at Howell Farm Cemetery. (I can't determine right now the county).
Please contact Alice Eichholz at the address above. My Linville line comes from Laurens Co., SC which is why I immediately noticed your message. Alice and I don't think, however, your Thomas is from my John Linville, b. ca.
1708-10, who married Anna Christina Stephens about 1730.

Yep! Good Linville stuff. I am after the wives of all these 18th century Linvilles, including Thomas's. How do you know he was in South Carolina in 1765?
Cheers,
