Notes:

Shucky moved with the family to Sevier County, Tennessee as early as 1805, soon after the death of his father.

Isaac was one of the first settlers in Gatlinburg. No land records prior to 1824 were found for Isaac Ogle but it is shown by Richard Reagan's early grants that Isaac and William, his brother, entered land adjoining Richard's land on Mill Creek. This ran from Mill Creek down to "the lane" (Reagan Lane) and nearly to the old river road. Later records show this land as belonging to Isaac alone and still later to his son, Elijah Ogle. Isaac also entered land near the road from the Glades, running down to the mouth of Roaring Fork Creek in Gatlinburg. As his sons and daughters became of age, he gave them these lands and he moved to the Banner area north of Gatlinburg.

Isaac and his wife, Susannah, were charter members of the White Oak Flats Baptist Church. The family appears in the Sevier County, Tennessee Federal Census records, 1830 to 1880. Isaac died 2 Sep 1881 according to the Death Register of 1881 found in Sevier County Courthouse.

Notes:

From "Rowan County, North Carolina Court Minutes 1773-1786", William Ogle, with his brothers Thomas and Hercules Ogle, is listed in "Names of Persons who have not taken the Oath of Allegiance in Captain Cox's District." The date of the entry is 1778. Family traditions say that he served in the Revolutionary War.

William Ogle and his brothers, Thomas Jr. ad Hercules Ogle, were listed in Captain Cox's District, 1778 Tax List of Rowan County, North Carolina.

Some records say William Ogle was an Indian trader, other say that he was a minister of the gospel. In the deeds from Rowan County, North Carolina, he described himself as a planter or yeoman.

In 1785 William and his family were living in Wilkes County, Georgia, according to "1785 Tax List of Wilkes County, Georgia". They settled in Edgefield District, South Carolina, prior to 1790. He was listed as the head of household in 1790 and 1800 Federal Census of Edgefield District, South
Carolina.

On 19 Oct 1795, Thomas Ogle of Grayson County, Virginia deeded 100 acres of land in Rowan County, North Carolina, to "William Ogle of Edgefield County, state of South Carolina". William later sold this same tract of land to Mark Cole and Jacob Skeene on 30 Oct 1795 (Deed Book 14, p 178 and p 179/80).

On 7 March 1796, William Ogle added to his holdings in Edgefield District, South Carolina, another 100 acres of land purchased from George Hagood. This land was situated on "the branches of Rockey Creek, waters of Savannah River" (Deed Book 13, p 198).

Family traditions say William Ogle had planned to migrate to Tennessee. But at that time, there was an epidemic of a most dreaded disease in the backcountry of South Carolina. It is believed that before William Ogle could make arrangements to dispose of his land, he contracted this disease and died.

Other sources say he built the first known structure in the Gatlinburg, Sevier County, Tennessee area. They say he hunted with Indian friends in the area and decided to build a cabin and move his family there. He cut and hewed the logs, and then returned home "to grow a crop" in order to bring supplies for his family's survival for some time. While there, an epidemic of malaria broke out and William died of the fever.

Between the date of his will, 26 Feb 1803, and the date of probate, 5 March 1803, William Ogle died and was survived by his wife, Martha and his children, five sons and two daughters. He is buried in the Fruit Hill area.

In his will William said, "I give unto my son Harculous Ogle that Hundred Acres of Land he Now lives. Also the remainder of the Land is to be Divided among four Boys except a Child's Share which I give unto My beloved Wife Polly Ogle (Martha in the 1811 deed). Also I give unto my beloved daughter Rebecca (Mc) Carter a cow and Calf, bed and furniture, Pot and Some other furniture. Also I
give unto my beloved grandson William (Mc) Carter a young sow. Also the rest of the property to be Equally among all the rest of my children except my beloved Wife which draws a Child's share." His will was recorded in Edgefield County, South Carolina, Will Book "A", box 22, #783.

William married Martha Jane Huskey Abt 1778, Rowan County, North Carolina. Martha (daughter of John Frederick Huskey and Rebecca Washington) was born 9 Dec 1756, Wake County, North Carolina; died Bef Jul 1826, Gatlinburg, Sevier County, Tennessee; was buried White Oak Flats Cemetery, Gatlinburg, Sevier County, Tennessee. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Martha Jane Huskey Ogle was part Indian.

After the death of William, Martha took her five sons and two daughters for a short visit with relatives in Virginia. Her brother, Peter Huskey, and his family then accompanied them on their long trip to the East Tennessee area to establish their home.

They were in the Sevier County, Tennessee as early as 1805. There is a record in Tennessee State Library and Archives that shows Hercules and Thomas Ogle sold land to William Murphy in 1807. This land was situated in the area of "mouth of Walden's Creek" in Sevier County, Tennessee.

On 19 January 1811, Martha Ogle, "relict of William Ogle" and her sons relinquished to James Atchison of Edgefield County, South Carolina their claim on the property that William Ogle had bought from George Hagood in 1796. This deed of conveyance was recorded in Deed Book 31, p 291/92 in Edgefield County, South Carolina.

According to the church minutes of "Fork of Little Pigeon Church", Martha Ogle was the one of the group of people from White Oak Flats Community that asked the Fork of Little Pigeon Church to establish a church in White Oak Flats as an arm of the church in Sevierville in December 1817.

Sometime between December 1817 to July 1826, Martha Ogle died and was buried in Gatlinburg, Tennessee behind Hays House Restaurant.

Some researchers claim her given name should not include Jane.

Notes:

Family tradition says Henry Bohannon served in the American Revolution from the state of Virginia. A record in Virginia State Library's "List of Revolutionary Soldiers of Virginia" showed Henry Bohannon served as a private in the 1st Virginia Regiment of the Continental Line, Light Dragoon, commanded by Captain Robert Boling for a three year enlistment, 6 July 1778 to Jun 1781. The regiment was raised from the area south of James River for the relief of General Nathaniel Greene in the South during the Revolutionary War.

In Virginia Soldiers of 1776 by Louis A. Burgess, it was found that apparently this same Henry Bohannon received bounty warrant number 1394 for 100 acres on 6 July 1781 and bounty warrant number 1390 for 200 acres on 23 June 1783 from the State of Virginia. It was for his Revolutionary War service in the Continental Line. As late as 1856, the records show the bounty warrants were not redeemed. It is believed this Henry Bohannon went to the state of South Carolina, and later to Sevier County, Tennessee, rather than into the Kentucky and Ohio military district under the auspices of the state of Virginia.

In 1790 Federal Census of Ninety-six District, Abbevile County, South Carolina, there was 1 white male over 16 years; 4 white females in the household ... Henry Bohannon and his wife, Amillia Shotwell, three daughters born from circa 1786 to 1790.

From 1800 Federal Census of Abbeville District, South Carolina, there were 2 white males and 2 white females under 10 years of age; 2 white females age 10-16; 2 white females age 16-26; 1 white male and 1 white female age 26-45 in the household ... Henry Bohannon and his wife, Amillia Shotwell, eight children born from circa 1786 to 1800. [NOTE: This household was listed under the name - HENRY BUCKHANAN]

Circa 1801, Henry Bohannon and his family migrated to Sevier County, Tennessee from Abbeville District, South Carolina. There was one early land entry for Henry Bohannon in Sevier County. This land grant, dated 15 June 1810, is as follows:

"...a certain tract or parcel of land containing one hundred and fifty and three roods lying in the County of Sevier in the District South of French Broad and Holston, there being due and chargeable on said land the sum of one hundred and fifty Dollars seventy five Cents with the Interest thereon." This land joined the line of Hugh Duggan, James Oldham and vacant lands. It was located in the watershed of the East Fork of Little Pigeon River.

At an early date the family evidently lived in White Oak Flats community (now Gatlinburg, Tennessee). In November 1817 the Forks of Little Pigeon Baptist Church met with a group of people from White Oak Flats community...they agreed to hold a meeting for reception of new members at "Henry Bohannon's place in White Oak Flats."

In December 1817 when the White Oak Flats Baptist Church was formed as an arm of "Fork of Little Pigeon Baptist Church" in Sevierville, Tennessee, Henry Bohannon's wife, Amillia, was listed as a charter member.

There was another land entry for Henry Bohannon dated 25th day of January 1826. This land grant indicated that this family moved from White Oak Flats community to the area of Middle Creek and Pigeon Forge. It was as follows: "...a certain tract of land containing fifty acres, lying in the county aforesaid, on the waters of Mill Creek..." and joined the vacant lands and William White's line.

Listed in 1840 Sevier County, Tennessee census 1 male 5-10, 1 male 70-80, 1 female 5-10 and 1 female 40-50.

It is believed that Henry Bohannon lived and died at his home on "waters of Mill Creek".

Notes:

A marriage record is recorded in the parish book of the Holy Trinity Church (formerly Old Swedes Church) in New Castle County, Delaware for Thomas Ogle and Elizabeth Robeson. (Another record for Thomas Ogle and Elizabeth Davis is also registered in 1764).

According to the note of Dr. Simeon Todd (deceased), "Hercules Ogle, Thomas Ogle, John Ogle and their sister Lucretia Ogle and husband Abraham Stroud moved from Delaware to Southwest Virginia in 1763, but stayed only about a year because Indian troubles drove them out. They moved across the border into North Carolina."

All these deeds are recorded in Salisbury, Rowan County, North Carolina. From Deed Book 6, page 164, "Andrew Smith & wife Anna to Thomas Ogle, groom, for 60 pounds, 320 acres on Cabin Creek on East side of Gunsmith's path," granted 15 July 1760. Recorded 21 July 1764. Tests: George Magsune, William McConnell.

This same 320 acres of land in Rowan County, which Thomas Ogle bought from Andrew Smith and wife Anna, was divided among his three sons; Thomas Ogle Jr., Hercules Ogle, and William Ogle.

18 Feb 1793 Thomas Ogle to Thomas Ogle Jr. 100a
30 July 1793 Thomas Ogle to Hercules Ogle 120a
19 Oct 1795 Thomas Ogle to William Ogle 100a

In "North Carolina Genealogy", there are several Rowan County, North Carolina Tax Lists for 1760's. Only "John Ford's List of Taxables for the Year 1768" listed Thomas Ogle.

On 23 May 1769, Thomas Ogle of Rowan County, North Carolina sold 67 acres on Little River, a branch of New River, to William Murphy. This deed was duly recorded in Augusta County, Virginia.

There is found in "New River Tithables", complied by Mary B. Kegley, the "List of a W. Herbert - 1772". On this list, Thomas Ogle appears with three tithables. The three tithables would include himself and two oldest sons, John and Thomas Ogle.

Thomas Ogle is listed as 1 tithable, no slaves, three horses, 13 cattle and owning land in the 1782 tax list of Montgomery County, Virginia.

In "Montgomery County, Virginia-Circa 1790", Transcribed and edit by Nettie Schreiner-Yantis, the "Personal Property Tax List A-1789" gives this information: "27 Apr 1790-Thomas Ogle with 1 white males-16 years to 21 years, no slaves, and six horses." The one white male listed above would be the youngest son, James Ogle.

In Montgomer County, Virginia Survey Book "D", Thomas Ogle bought 140 acres of land on both sides of Little Reed Island Creek, 27 Nov 1789 from Thomas Black.

This area was part of Grayson County, Virginia when Thomas Ogle died. Today it is in Carroll County, Virginia.

This was the same land that Thomas Ogle and his wife, Elizabeth deeded to their youngest son, James Ogle on 10 Jan 1801. The deed was proven in March 1803 after Thomas Ogle's death.

During the 1780's and 1790's, Thomas ogle and his wife Elizabeth were living in Montgomery County, Virginia; then Wythe County, Virginia, and later Grayson County, Virginia. At that time, the land that Thomas and Elizabeth Ogle deeded to Thomas Jr. and Hercules Ogle in 1793, and to William Ogle in 1795 was located in rowan County, North Carolina. This apparently accounts for the fact that in his will, Thomas Ogle left only one dollar ($1.00) each to his children.

Thomas Ogle's will was dated 2 March 1802 and was probated at the March Court 1803 of Grayson County, Virginia. In his will, he mentions his wife Elizabeth and names his children. There is no land mentioned. Elizabeth is to have all movable property and each son and daughter is to have one dollar with the exception of Hannah who is willed one cow.

Thomas Ogle and his wife, Elizabeth, are believed to be buried in the large Ogle Cemetery on Peavine Ridge just outside of Hillsville.

Robert — Hannah Burdine. Hannah (daughter of Richard Burdine and Katharina Tanner) was born Abt 1747, Madison County, Virginia; died 1819, Monroe County, Mississippi. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Hannah moved to Abbeville District, South Carolina prior to 1790....Mill's 1820 map of Abbeville District shows the Shotwell family settled near the Laurens County line.

By the 1800 census Hannah and her children were living in Pendleton District, South Carolina. Reuben, Nathaniel and Susannah were married by that time and living near their mother. The other three children were still living in the same house with their mother. Hannah and some of her children moved to the Alabama Territory prior to 1810. It is believed they remained in Madison County, Alabama for a brief time. Some of them moved on to what is now Lowndes County, Mississippi and others located in the present day Pickens and Lamar Counties in Alabama.

On 27 December 1819, Hannah made her will. She gave her residence as Marion County, Alabama. However, the will was entered into probate in Monroe County, Mississippi in 1825. The will and other records indicate Hannah was among the early settlers of this area when it was claimed by the State of Alabama. The original will is still in the estate papers of Monroe County.......
