Thanks go to Ronald E. Jones who submitted these records. The grants were by Washington County, Virginia but the land was in what is now Sullivan County,Tennessee.

Page 429 - Robert Wilson, assignee of John Richmond - 50 ac - treasury warrant #12341 on the north side of Walkers Mountain on the waters of Ready Creek, north branch of Holstein River and joining said Wilson's survey by the authority of North Carolina - line of James Anderson's survey - corner to Wilson's land - on a spur of Walkers MOUNTAIN - May 29, 1795 -------I believe the original grant was #10,940 issued 2/12/1782.

Willson, William. grantee 22 October 1800

Location: Washington County

Description: 50 acres on the north side of Walkers Mountain, and on the waters of Reedy Creek a north branch of Holston River.

Notes: William Wilson married Mary Doyle in/or about 1800. Her father was a John Doyle (see below). Mary had a sister Rachel who move to Knox County about 1800 and married Nicholas Gibbs,Jr. John Doyle shows up in Knox Co about the same time with a second family by "unknown" spouse (not the mother of Mary and Rachel). He later marries again to Eva Formwalt and lives out his life in Knox Co. His Revoutionary pension record indicated he moved to Knox Co about 1799. I am trying to tie the John Doyle of Washington Co. Va and father of Mary and Rachel to the John Doyle who moves into Knox County in or about 1799. (Jones, Ronald E)
