Fallingwater River

About 1814 John McDowell settled near this spot on the Fallingwater River in Tennessee. He owned 30 acres. When John died about 1819, his estate included a horse valued at $97.25. Most horses that I have seen in estate settlements were valued at $7-$15. John owned a valuable stud horse. Had it been a famous racehorse?



This photo was taken at Burgess Park, which is open to the public. Burgess Park has three waterfalls; this is Little Falls. Burgess Park is near Sparta and Cookeville in Middle Tennessee.

Andrew McDowell's Neighbors in 1820 White County

I have a notebook where I have listed everyone on the same page of the census with Andrew in 1820, 1830, and 1840. I wrote the names out in columns in hopes of finding that some of the names in the different columns would match up. However, no one matched up! It's like Andrew moved every year. Any hopes I had of finding Andrew with his grandparents, cousins, et al, are dashed.

So here is the list of Andrew and his neighbors in 1820. They are in White County, Tennessee. Maybe someone will be able to tell me where these people are living within the county.
