Notes:

Based on the Uriah Allison / Nancy Cox book, it would be worthwhile to look closely at the Robert Allison facts, to separate out which are this Robert Allison, and which might be one of the other *three* Robert Allisons in the same place and time.

SDAR-PATRIOT: Pvt, TN

Ordered that Robert ALLISON be overseer of the Public Road from PRIGMOORES Ferry to Muddy Creek & that Isham COX esquire Appoint the hands to work thereon. - Roane Co., Tennessee Road Orders

Some sources claim his birth and death as 1750 in Chester Co., NC and 1820 in Greene Co., TN. But better documented sources show otherwise.

Robert fought in the Revolution and was in the battle of King's Mountain.

It appears that there are two different Robert Allisons in the Greene County / Roane County area of Tennessee after the Revolution. One Robert appears to be older than this one, but it's not really easy to separate them.

DEED: Deed Book 2 - p. 231 - Sheriff's Deed - 24 July 1811 - Daniel Guin, Shff, one part, and Robert Allison, Junr, and Jonathan Baracraft, both of Washington Co., TN, other part, and that whereas sd Robert Allison, Senr, for use of Nathaniel Shipley, recovered judgment against Thomas Gillis, and there was levied on 420 acres(tract where Gillis then lived) a judgment, $500 was pd, tr being on Mill fork of Big Limestone adj Daniel Kennedy's former line and John Coffman corner. Wit: Samuel Powel, Joseph Hamilton. Reg 30 Sep 1811 (I believe these two Robert Allisons cited to be other than this line)

There are a lot of Allisons in 1780 in Granville Co NC with other folks who fought at Kings Mountain.

Military:
Revolutionary War service

But this might be a different Robert Allison.

Possessions:
DEED: Deed Book 1 - p. 60 - 4 Aug 1789 - Indenture - Alexander Moore, Washington Co., N.C. and William Black, Greene Co., NC, 200 pounds pd, 400 acres on Meadow Creek & adj Samuel Sherrel. Wit: George Gillaspie, Thomas Gillaspie

DEED: Deed Book 1 - p. 61 - 4 Aug 1789 - Indenture - William Moore, Washington Co., NC and Robert Allison, 100 pounds pd, tr on E side dry fork of Meadow Creek and adj Benjamin Crow, being 300 acres granted Moore, No. 544, 20 Sep 1787. Wit: Richard Wood, George Gillaspie. Reg. 15 Sep 1789

NOTE: The above two deeds recorded from Washington Co and Greene Co NC date from the time before the establishment of Tennessee. Hence,their being located in NC. Moreover, there has been some controversy over the identity of Alexander / William Moore. I believe that the fact that two deeds registered on the same day showing different names for William and Alexander show that these two are different people.,probably brother rather than father and son, as some have suggested.

Notes:

Uriah Allison served as a bondsman in 1820, Roane Co, Tennessee for William P. Smith. Could be that Uriah Allison Council was named for Uriah Allison, brother of Susan Allison.

In Nov. 1820, Uriah ALLISON of Roane County bought at the Hiwassee Land sale, eight tracts of land in the Hiwassee District. The acres given are 381, 13, 60, 160, 106, 120, 116 and (blank). A certain RILEY LOONEY, a Cherokee Indian, claimed most of the land for a reservation under the treaties made by the U.S. with the Cherokees in 1817 and 1819 commonly called Jackson's and Calhoun's Treaties. Uriah ALLISON swore to his statements 14 Sep 1826. In the decree, dated June 1829, the death of Uriah ALLISON being suggested the cause was abated. May Term 1830. pp 564-568. - Roane County, Tennesse Chancery Court records.

Col. Uriah ALLISON died in the early part of 1829, leaving his widow,Nancy C. and three daughters: Maria ALLISON who later married George NICHOLSON, Catherine ALLISON and Mary ALLISON. They lived at Kingston. Nancy C. the widow married Gen. John BROWN. Isham COX, dec'd and his wife Catherine were the parents of Nancy C. ALLISON BROWN. Isham COX had moved to Alabama in the Spring of 1830. Bartley COX was a son of Isham and his wife. Gen. John BROWN called Thomas and William BROWN his brothers. This was dated 27 Jun 1839. pp 310-322. - Roane County, Tennessee Chancery Court records.

Military:
Appointed 2nd. Lt., 8th US Inf.

MILITARY SERVICE: Uriah Allison served in the War of 1812 and Creek War

Misc:
Looney Riley, a member of the Cherokee nation, challenged Uriah Allison's right to the land purchased in 1820, claiming that it was his under treaties of 1815 and 1817. Ultimately, Riley sued and failed to win in county court. Uriah appealed to the Chancery court, bringing the treasurer of East Tennessee in as a defendant since he was trying to eject Uriah. Uriah died before the case was settled, so it was closed.

Obituary:
Allison, Uriah S (Col.)Died at his residence in Roane County, Tenn., on the 18th inst., Col. Uriah S. Allison, in the 47th year of his age, formerly of the 24th US Army; a man whose character as a patriot, a citizen, and a soldier, needs no eulogium.  He was a native of Roane County in this state, entered the Army in 1812 as a lieutenant and was promoted to captaincy  He remained in the Army during the war; and besides performing other important services, recruited at different periods, and marched to the Canadian frontier, two companies of troops from his native state.  As an officer, he was loved and respected by his companions in arms, and as a disciplinarian, he may have had equals, but no superior.  After the conclusion of the war he resigned his commission; military inactivity did not comfort with either his disposition or his genius, and he returned to the circle of friends.  His remains were interred at the Presbyterian Church in Kingston on the 19th at 12 o'clock, accompanied by his relatives and a numerous concourse of friends.  He has left a wife and three female children. The Knoxville Register, Wednesday, 27 May 1829, Vol XIII, No. 666.

Uriah married Nancy Clark Cox on 29 Jan 1820 in Kingston, Roane, Tennessee, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Mary is a bit of a mystery. She does not appear with George in the census in 1850, 1860, or 1870. FindaGrave says she died in 1880, not 1864. But, in 1860 and 1870, George is alone in the family of Mary's siblings. Did she die very early, earlier than believed? Did she run off? Was she in the mental hospital? Or what?

But in the 1840 census, there are young children and a woman aged 20-30 in the household. I suspect this is her.

Birth:
The 1840 census shows a woman aged 20-30 in the home. If she is about 30, this could well be Mary.

Mary married George Washington Rigney on 2 Aug 1827 in Knox, Tennessee, United States. George was born about 1800; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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.

Birth:
Findagrave says he was born in Knox Co., Tennessee. I tend to believe this since his family lived in Knox at this point. Some the old books say Greene, but that has to be wrong.

Notes:

Though John's children point toward a move to Arkansas around 1842, there are no deeds available for the period from 1839-1849

Interestingly, in the deeds in Book C, there are three deeds where J.M & Lima Council sold land. But the deeds were recorded in Fannin County, Texas. FamilySearch records for Fannin County have to be viewed at an affiliate library.

Possessions:
Certificate 11313
Next entry is for Pete Rozel who commanded the local group of volunteers who went to fight in Florida.

Census:
Enumeration: 00011-00001
1 white male 15-20
1 white male 20-30
1 white female 20-30
1 slave female 24-35
total 4 in the household

Residence:
Based on the dates and places of birth of the children in the 1850 census, we can deduce that they moved to Arkansas after William was born, but before Susan, so between 1841-1843.

Census:
appears in the Slave Schedule with 1 male,mulatto slave, aged 20

Census:
Also listed in the house in 1860 is Henry Rigney, age 3. It seems likely that Henry is the grandson (or maybe even son) of George Rigney and Mary Council.

Census:
Henry Rigney is still living in the household in the 1870 census.

Interestingly, John M. Council has $9000 real estate in 1870 and $1500 personal estate. That's a lot for reconstruction Arkansas.

Will:
Children:
John O. Council - $100
Sarah Long - $100
