SHOOTING AFFRAY -- Last Wednesday evening, LINVILLE BOWERS who resides a couple of miles from this city, in Benton county, went into the Albany Brewery, and getting into an altercation with Mr. Rogers, one of the proprieters, drew a pistol and fired two shots at Mr. Rogers, but fortunately neither of them took any effect. About this time a man who works in the brewery caught Bowers' hand from behind and wrenched the pistol from him, when Mr. Rogers shattered a few beer glasses over his head, cutting it severely in several places. Bowers was arrested, charged with an assault with an intent to kill, and after a hearing before Recorder Arnold, was held to bail in the sum of $500.00 to answer at the next term of Circuit Court.

The Christians living in the southern part of Polk County,
led by Harrison and Nancy Linville, invited Mac Waller to
visit their area in 1848 and organize a church. The McCartys
and Bounds were living in this district, as were David and
Mary Lewis, David Stump, and Dr. Zedekiah Davis. The
Linvilles offered the use of their fine residence situated on the Luckiamute River for a meetingplace. Harrison Linville operated a ferry across the Luckiamute, and as a result, the main county road running from Nat Ford's place south into Benton County led past the Linville house. Waller accepted
At Home in the Willamette Valley the invitation, and a congregation was set in order on the Luckiamute.

Several Christians were in the very first wagon train to take the Applegate Trail, and the leaders of this train were
Christians. This was the train led by brothers-in-law Harrison Linville and Medders Vanderpool. Vanderpool was married to Margaret Linville, a younger sister to Harrison. Among the other Christians in this train were John Bird Bounds and his wife, Elizabeth Lovelady Bounds. Their oldest daughter, Nancy Bounds Linville, was married to Harrison Linville.

Except for one 77-year-old man, the oldest travelers in the
train were Richard and Mary Linville, both in their 70s. They were the parents of Harrison Linville, Margaret Vanderpool and Catherine Crowley.

Thomas and Mary ("Aunt Polly") Lovelady were also in
this train. He was a brother to Elizabeth Bounds. Three other Christian families in this train were Absalom and Mary Ann Faulconer, Robert and Sarah Lancefield, and John Burris and Emily Smith. John Burris Smith was a gospel preacher, and his arrival brought the number of Christian preachers in Oregon to four.

Harrison married Nancy Bounds on 20 Nov 1836 in Platt purchase, Missouri. Nancy (daughter of John Bird (or James B.) Bounds and Elizabeth Lovelady) was born on 12 Aug 1819 in White Co, Tennessee; died on 29 Nov 1856 in Bloomington, Polk Co, Oregon. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Leonard Bowers was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. He was a prosperous farmer and slaveholder who lived in Siam on the old Teter Nave farm that his wife inherited. The old house stood on the site of the J. Byrd Nave house in Siam. In his later years Leonard was ordained a minister in the Baptist Church. He made his will which has some questionable alterations, on 08 Sept 1840.
Rebecca and Leonard Bowers are buried in the old Teter Nave Cemetery, now call the Nave-Hess Cemetery (see page 331), located behind the Lowell Tedder home in Siam (Wilber Dam Rd). Their graves are lost because the grave makers have been removed.

John married Rebecca Nave on 2 Aug 1785 in Carter Co, Tennessee. Rebecca was born on 24 Mar 1769 in Washington Co, Tennessee; died on 20 Sep 1849 in Carter Co, Tennessee. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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.

Notes:

"Campbell County Tennessee USA: A History of Places, Faces, Happenings, Traditions, and Things", Vol. I., by Dr. Miller McDonald. Campbell County, Tennessee County History. . As specified in the act that created the county, the first court was held at the home of Richard Linville. Linville owned his home, a farmstead, and public tavern in the area where La Follette is presently located. This site was selected because of Linville's prominence in the community and because the public house owned and operated by him was thought to be big enough to hold meetings pertaining to public affairs. Due to the size of the crowd in attendance, court was moved outside and held out of the back of an old-time wagon bed. Linville owned a copper still and was famous for the manufacture of "Indian Peach Brandy".

Campbell County Court Record Index. Chapter and Section 21.6. Campbell County Court held at his home.

Campbell County Tennessee USA (see above): History of Jacksboro, Tennessee. The town of Jacksboro and the land area surrounding it are more closely tied to Campbell County, its government and history than any other. As a small town it ranks among the oldest. ... The location of Jacksboro as the county seat for Campbell County was settled only after some debate and wrangling. The act creating Campbell County in 1806 appointed as commissioners James Grant, William Hancock, Jacent Cloud, Robert Glenn, RICHARD LINVILLE, Sampson David and John English to "lay out a place, the most suitable and convenient in said county for the purpose of erecting a court house, prison and stocks."

Several Christians were in the very first wagon train to take the Applegate Trail, and the leaders of this train were
Christians. This was the train led by brothers-in-law Harrison Linville and Medders Vanderpool. Vanderpool was married to Margaret Linville, a younger sister to Harrison. Among the other Christians in this train were John Bird Bounds and his wife, Elizabeth Lovelady Bounds. Their oldest daughter, Nancy Bounds Linville, was married to Harrison Linville.

Except for one 77-year-old man, the oldest travelers in the
train were Richard and Mary Linville, both in their 70s. They were the parents of Harrison Linville, Margaret Vanderpool and Catherine Crowley.

Thomas and Mary ("Aunt Polly") Lovelady were also in
this train. He was a brother to Elizabeth Bounds. Three other Christian families in this train were Absalom and Mary Ann Faulconer, Robert and Sarah Lancefield, and John Burris and Emily Smith. John Burris Smith was a gospel preacher, and his arrival brought the number of Christian preachers in Oregon to four.


Census:
Polk County was officially created from Yamhill District of the Oregon Territory on December 22, 1845. On August 13, 1848, President James K. Polk signed a bill approving the boundaries of the Oregon territory, which officially separated the territory from England. Thus came the name Polk County.
Richard living with son Harrison.

Richard married Magdaline "Molly" or "Mary" Yount in 1797 in North Carolina. Magdaline was born in 1781 in South Carolina; died on 22 Nov 1846 in Oregon Trail. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Several Christians were in the very first wagon train to take the Applegate Trail, and the leaders of this train were

Among the other Christians in this train were John Bird Bounds and his wife, Elizabeth Lovelady Bounds. Their oldest daughter, Nancy Bounds Linville, was married to Harrison Linville.

Except for one 77-year-old man, the oldest travelers in the

Thomas and Mary ("Aunt Polly") Lovelady were also in

John Burris Smith was a gospel preacher, and his arrival brought the number of Christian preachers in Oregon to four.

Another account of this pioneering train on the Applegate
Trail commented: "The travelers found a shortage of food for
their livestock, a scarcity of game for their own food and
backbreaking toil in building a track for their wagons."28
Unfortunately, they also had to confront the horrors of death on the trail. In a period of just ten days, Harrison and Nancy Linville each lost a parent.
Elizabeth Bounds, Nancy's mother, died from the privations of the trail on November 13 and was buried the next day. She died near present-day Roseburg in Douglas County. After burying her on the trail, the wagons passed over the road several times to obliterate any sign of the grave. This was done to eliminate any possibility of Indians robbing her grave or of wild animals digging up her grave.
