Daniel McAninch and William McNinch, Greene County, Tennessee, 1796-1797 |
|
|
|
There are three recently-discovered sightings of two different McA/Ninch males in Greene County, |
|
Eastern Tennessee, in 1796 and 1797. Greene County was formed in 1783, set off from Washington |
|
County, Tennessee; Greene Co. adjoins North Carolina’s Burke Co. (1790) and Buncombe Co. (1800). |
|
|
|
I. Marriage, 7 Oct. 1796, in three secondary sources, “William McNinch to Doshea(ia) Dosey” |
|
|
|
A. “McNinch, William, to Doshia Dosey (416), John Newman, Sec.[security] (State of Tenn.)” [1] |
|
A. 1. Each document had been given a number and recorded in a book by persons employed by the Tennessee Historical Records Survey in the 1930’s [WPA?]. Hence, the number “416”. |
|
A. 2. Tennessee was admitted as the 16th State, June 1, 1796, hence, the note “(State of Tenn.)” |
|
|
|
B. “416. October 7, 1796 William McNinch [sic] -- Doshea Dosey [sic] -- John Newman” [2, 12] |
|
B. 1. Author's forward [Goldene Fillers Burgner] says “marriages were taken from the original licenses and bonds in the County Court Office of Greeneville, Tennessee”. |
|
|
|
C. “McNinch, William, to Doshea Dosey - October 7, 1796, Security: John Newman Greene” [3] |
|
|
|
Could this be the William McAninch who first appears in Lincoln County, Kentucky, on the 1797 |
|
Tax Book, whose wife’s maiden name is given as “Laodieca Rawson” by their grand-children? [4] |
|
|
|
In his Will, Feb. 15, 1813, transcribed by the court clerk, his wife’s name is spelled “Ladosha” and “Ladisha”; he also names his five male children: James, Jonathan, William, Samuel, and Jesse. [5] |

|
