Notes:
n4, mg2,
Came to Tennessee in 1808. Settled in Wilson Co., TN.
Married in Georgia, came to Falling Creek, TN after marriage. (This is somewhat suspect to me. I am not certain that he actually married in Georgia. There's no reason for this to have happened, as far as I can tell.)
Had 7 sons & 5 daughters by Sally Miller.
Could have been named Joseph.
Died of Cholera.
There is some confusion about Joseph and Thomas CASON and their spouses.
Could have been born about 1776 in NC or SC.
Misc:
Taken up by Joseph Cason, one black mare, 3 years old past, 13 hand high, both hind feet white, large blaze in her face, no brands perceivable, appraised at 8 dollars, June 12th
The minutes of the Quarterly court hold tax lists for 1803-1807. Joseph Cason does not appear in any of these. So, we can assume that he arrived sometime after the tax roll for 1807 was created and before when he took up the lost mare in June 1810.
Possessions:
Land Entry 9742.
Warrant 1340, originally issued to Walter Clopton, Jun. 23 1/2 acres on the waters of Falling Creek, adjoining Joseph Cason's south east border.
Survey 13 Jun 1814
Residence:
If there was a letter waiting in 1813, this gives proof that Joseph Cason was living in Wilson County by then.
Census:
Enumeration: 0011011-0102001, 8 slaves, 16 people
Misc:
As a consequence of a judgment against George Smith, Joseph Cason had an execution order issued to force sale of a piece of property.
Misc:
Land was sold and debt settled.
Probate:
Annual return and settlement of estate

BURIED: Probably in the John A. Cason burying ground, Wilson Co., TNJoseph married Rebecca Miller before 1799 in Georgia, United States. Rebecca (daughter of John Miller and Mary Anderson) was born about 1773 in Georgia, United States; died in Sep 1835 in Simmons Bluff, Wilson, Tennessee, United States; was buried in Sep 1835 in Simmons Bluff, Wilson, Tennessee, United States.

9. Rebecca Miller was born about 1773 in Georgia, United States (daughter of John Miller and Mary Anderson); died in Sep 1835 in Simmons Bluff, Wilson, Tennessee, United States; was buried in Sep 1835 in Simmons Bluff, Wilson, Tennessee, United States. Other Events and Attributes:

- Misc: 3 Nov 1815, Laurens, South Carolina, United States; accounting of father's estate
Notes:
Sally and Rebecca Miller are sisters. Both married Casons. One married Joseph Cason and one married John Cason. Both are married to Casons at the time of their father's death in 1814 and the administration of his estate. They seem to often be confused. The recorded documents clearly show that Sally married John and Rebecca married Joseph.
Died of cholera during the epidemic of 1835 in Wilson Co. TN.
Why do we think she was born and / or married in Georgia? Her parents were born, married, and died in South Carolina, Laurens County, mostly.
Birth:
I do not believe that Rebecca was born in Georgia. It appears that her family was in Laurens Co before and after her birth. It also makes little sense that they would go from Georgia back to South Carolina.
Misc:
Account of what she has received from the estate during her father's lifetime.

Notes:
Married her cousin
There is a marriage record in 1836 Limestone County, Alabama for a marriage of Henrietta Faver to Andrew Wofford. Andrew purchased a slave at John Faver Jr's estate sale. John Wofford (Andrew's father) ended up as the guardian of several Wofford children. I don't think there was a divorce, and Andrew Wofford's will names his wife M.F. Wofford. Who is this Henrietta?
Died:
On John Faver's 1830 Census enumeration, there is a female aged 50-60, which is presumably Henrietta. So, her death is likely between 1830 and 1836.Children:
- 5. Elizabeth Faver was born on 29 Mar 1795 in Culpeper, Virginia, United States; died on 24 Mar 1867 in Simmons Bluff, Wilson, Tennessee, United States; was buried in Simmons Bluff, Wilson, Tennessee, United States.

They moved to Tennessee about 1814-15 to Rutherford County. He had three sons and two daughters. Some reports claim that the family lived in the Short Mountain area of Rutherford County.
MARRIAGE: Cooper5
N4, H2
Somehow, Henry Cooper is connected to Robert S. Cooper. There are too many common names in the church cemetery to not be connected.
Misc:
This might be the same deed that was witnessed in 1820. In this case, the deed was presented to the County Court on 14 Sep 1819. David Hollis and Henry Cooper witnessed under oath that it was genuine and it was recorded.

In 1836, Rebecca is recorded in the tax list. This means Henry is no longer living.Henry married Rebecca Hollis on 19 Jan 1794 in Rowan, North Carolina, United States. Rebecca (daughter of John Hollis and Mary) was born before 1775 in Rowan, North Carolina, United States; died in 1855 in Cannon, Tennessee, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:
Some sources record a second marriage for Rebecca to an Andrew Moore in Knox County, TN, but this does not make sense. The marriage isrecorded as 12 Aug 1812 in Knox Co, TN. If this were the case,Rebecca and Henry would have had to be divorced since he was still alive at that point. Likewise, she would have had to go east alone for this to happen. No mention of this was made in Elizabeth Cooper's Bible records. Also, were Rebecca to remarry, the record would have been recorded as Rebecca Cooper, not Rebecca Hollis. So, unless additional evidence comes to light, we will assume that this is another Rebecca Hollis.
CENSUS: Based on the 1790 enumeration of John Hollis, it would appear that this person occurs in that house. Likewise, in the 1800, 1820, 1830 enumerations of Henry Cooper support her position in this household, but does not explicitly list her.
Residence:
Rebecca Cooper is listed as owning 266 acres worth $2660 and 1 slave worth $600. The fact that she is in the tax list means she owns the property and not Henry, so he must no longer be living.
Residence:
Rebecca is taxed on 267 acres worth $3000 and 1 slave worth $700

Notes:
We need to prove that in fact Henry Vincent, son of Alexander Vincent, was the Henry who married Rachel Caits and fathered Adolphus. Based on the dates, it is possible that Henry, son of Henry, was the husband of Rachel Caits.
Henry Vinson witnessed the inventory for Joshua Cates, dec'd on 22 Dec 1838 in Rutherford Co., Tenn. Among the articles included in the inventory were 4 negroes and one note for $81.50 on Henry Vinson due 25 Dec 1838. Total for the inventory was $28676.25. The inventory was signed by John Cates and Henry Vinson.
