• Notes

  Some accounts say he was born in Greene Co., TN, others in Knox Co.TN. PARENTS: could have been from TN or AL Census says he was from TN, Sarah Council's death certificate says he was from Alabama. It appears that Uriah died fairly early, leaving a wife with children. They then moved with his parents on to Arkansas. Based on the fact that Uriah's father is in Knox Co. in 1811, I might expect to find his birth there, or in Roane County where his parents were married. DEED: Uriah Allison Council (U.A. Council) bought land in Roane Co.,Tennessee. Deed is in Book G, p. 47. Based on the childrens' ages, it looks like they moved from Tennessee to Alabama between 1835 & 1837. Sarah Louise was born in AL, but her older sisters were born in TN.
