A provision in accordance with the recommendation of President Van Buren was incorporated in the Census Act of March 3, A special appendix of the census of 1840, gives the entire roll of pensioners of counties. The following is a transcription of that appendix Census Jackson Co., TN Dist. 13 Free White Person, Including Heads of Families John Hanley/Henley Males: 5 & under 10 (1) 80 & under 90 (1) Pensioners for Revolutionary or military services, include in the foregoing John Henley age, 89 - Revolutionary War Veteran Number of person in each family employed in Manufacture and trade (1) Females: 5 & under 10 (1) 20 & under 40 (1) Number of white person over 20 years in age in each family that cannot read and write (1) Total (4) (John Henley/Hendley, father of Joel Henley father of Aden Henley Revolutionary War Veteran b. ca. 1751, NC d. after 1840, TN).

John Henly/Henley/Hendley was listed in the Jackson County census of 1840 as being eighty-nine years old. A veteran of the Revolutionary War, he was wounded at Redding, Pennsylvania and was discharged from service on April 4, 1778 in Virginia. His participation in that war is verified by a compilation of Revolutionary War veterans receiving pensions which was written by Ernest Boyd, Attorney at Law of Putnam County, Tennessee. Born in 1751, John Henly came to Dodson Branch from North Carolina in the late 1700 s. He was given a land grant of six hundred forty acres for his service during the Revolutionary War; the land was in the Dodson Branch area on what is now known as the Old Dodson Branch Road. John Henly had 2 known sons, Joel and John, Jr. Joel Henly was born in North Carolina and moved with his family to Dodson Branch in the late 1700 s. A minister as well as a farmer, he was the Moderator of Spring Creek Baptist Church in Dodson Branch. John Henly, Jr. was born December 7, 1829 in Tennessee. He and his wife Martha had 5 sons and 2 daughters. He died on October 23, 1895 and is buried on the family farm now owned by Nathan Judd on the Dodson Branch Road.

Baltimore, Pierce s Register: Register of the certificates issued by John Pierce, Esquire, Paymaster General and Commissioner of Army Accounts for the United States, to officers and soldiers of the Continental Army under act of July 4, Pg. 3: Among the records which have come down to the present from the time of the Revolution are certain interesting documents connected with the funding of the Revolutionary debt under the act of August 4, As is well known, during the Revolutionary War the Government was often in extremities on account of the lack of the necessary funds, and especially the pay of the Army was at times greatly in arrears. To remedy, as far as possible, this unfortunate situation the Continental Congress on July 4, 1783, when the war was approaching an end, passed the following resolution: Resolved, That the Paymaster General be, and he is hereby, fully authorized and empowered to settle and finally adjust all accounts whatsoever between the United States and the officers and soldiers of the American Army, so as to include all and every demand which they or either of them may have by virtue of the several resolutions and acts of Congress relating thereto; and that the said paymaster do give certificates of the sums which may appear due on such settlements in the form and manner which the superintendent of the finances of the United States may direct: Provided always, That the certificates to the officers shall be delayed for a reasonable time to obtain returns of payments or advances to them by the States or public departments, where in the opinion of the Paymaster General such delay shall be necessary. It should be noted that these settlements cover only the sums which remained unpaid at the end of the war. In accordance with the resolution, John Pierce, Paymaster General and Commissioner of Army Accounts, prepared and delivered to the officers and men of the Army over 93,000 certificates showing the indebtedness of the Government to each person. Apparently it was not practicable to consolidate into one certificate all the amounts due each particular soldier, and several certificates on account of separate items of indebtedness, in some cases for as small a sum as $1, were issued to the same man. In addition to arrearages of monthly pay and payments on currency depreciation account, there was due to the soldiers in the Continental Army at the close of the war what was known as commutation pay. This arose from a promise made in 1776 providing that at the expiration of the war seven years half pay would be granted to officers and $80 to soldiers who served to the enc. This promise was later changed to half pay for life, and, on petition of officers when the war closed, the half pay for life was ordered to be commuted to five years full pay. Several certificates issued in many cases to the same man therefore generally represent several classes of indebtedness. A certificate for $80 represents service as a private soldier under the promise above mentioned.

Filed original bill 25 January 1915 against Rebecca Rector. Complainants state they are owners of land in 9th District, Rebecca entered and began receiving rents... purported conveyance to her mother Philena Henley from one William Hendley... conveyance is fraud as he had no title. Land formerly belonged to Joel Hendley. His son William Hendley was married to Jane Pippin. Some time after their marriage in about 1871 he conveyed the land to his daughter in law Jane Hendley (nee Pippin). Jane took possession, occupied until her death some three or four years afterward. Court house burned [14 August 1872]. Harrett Stewart burned the deed. Rebecca Rector gave G. A. Johnson a deed for one-half interest in land in 1914 as attorney's fee, he refuses to produce for fear of being party to suit. G. A. Johnson was prosecutor in the case of Rebecca Rector vs Ben Stewart, et al. Rebecca Rector is insolvent. Defendant G. A. Johnson has procured Rebecca Rector to make a deed to Mounce Haney, who is utterly insolvent. Jane Henley had the following brothers and sisters and half brothers and sisters, to wit: Loge Pippin, Byrd Pippin, Sarah A. Pippin (Goolsby), Bettie Pippin (Goolsby), Syntha Pippin who died about twenty years ago without issue, Harve Pippie, Hogue Pippin both of whom died several years ago without issue. Etta Goolsby, Lizzie Woodall and Laura Jackson are the only children of Richard Goolsby who was a brother of those complainants and a son of Sarah A. Goolsby deceased.

True she is in possession of land, case of Becky Rector vs Ben Stuart, description may be found in Minute Docket R pps 84, 85 and 86, Jackson Co. William Henley was in actual, open, and adverse possession more than seven years after the death of said Jane, remained so until his death in 1896 insubordination conveyed to Philena Henley. (Philena/Filena Henley, d/o William Henley).

15 Respondent neither admits nor denies that Jane Henley was married to William Henley, not knowing facts. Denies deed from Joel Henley to Jane Henley burned in the court house fire. True William Henley and C. L. Dowel conveyed land to Respondent's mother on 15 February 18_9 [strikeover, probably 1889], registered 5 March 1889 which was before the birth of this Respondent. Respondent's mother lived after the execution of said deed until [Blank] October 1893 and died, leaving Respondent her only child surviving her... infant of tender years, born April Denies Respondents are next of kin to Jane Henly. William Henley occupied and held land after his wife's Jane's death until Immediately after the death of said Wm Henly, Mrs. Ben Stuart an only daughter of said William [Henley] took possession until more than seven years. If complainants ever had any rights they slept them. ["You snooze, you lose"; adverse possession laws at that time in TN, except in cases of fraud, was seven years - mlj]. DEPOSITIONS 18 November 1915: Wayne Stewart age 26, live Jackson Co., I am a farmer. Know G. A. Johnson and Mounce Haney. Little over a year ago I had a contract to buy land from G. A. Johnson and Mounce Haney, think for $800. Johnson couldn't make a warranty deed, only quit-claim. Russell Lee and Robert Haney cultivated part of the land in /s/ Wayman Steward Mrs. Harrett Stewart age?66/76 of Jackson Co. Am the daughter of William Hendley, deceased and grand daughter of Joel Hendley deceased. Joel Hendley died March 15, 1874 on Sunday. William Hendley has been dead nineteen years. Jane Hendley was [my] stepmother. She died before my father. Grandfather Joel Hendley owned the land. Mounce Gore, his administrator, fixed [drew] the deed before the Civil War. I have seen the deed. I was in possession of the old deed... let P. J. Anderson take it to Gainesboro in the time of the lawsuit of Rebecca Rector against Ben Stewart and wife about two years ago. Think the Gore deed to Joel Hendley was Question: Do you know whether your grand father conveyed part of the land to his son John Hendley? Answer: Yes, sir. The land covered by the Gore deed, Joel Hendley divided in three parts [between] Jane Hendley, Nimrod Hendley and John Hendley. I have read Jane's deed... land recovered by Rebecca Rector from Ben Stewart and wife. It covered the middle tract where old man Joel Hendley is buried. I burned the deed up years ago. John Carrington told me to burn it... said he would not have it about the place. John Carrington is my son in law. Josh Maybury signed his name J. M. Maybury. He is dead. P. G. Anderson and Wm Draper were attorneys in the case of Rector vs my husband and myself... did not inform them of the deed from Joel to Jane Hendley. Pap [William Henley] and mother took care of Joel Hendley till six weeks before his death and then me and my husband that six weeks. By mother I mean my step mother Jane Henley. Philena Rector (Henley) was a poor woman... cripple. Knew her all her life. My father William Hendly traded C. L. Dowel and wife a yellow horse for the tract of land he bought of them. It's about a mile from the land in litigation. Question: Who had possession of the land [in litigation] as far back as you remember? Answer: Joel Hendley, William Hendley, me and my husband until the lawsuit with Rebecca Rector. Philena Hendley (Rector) lived on the land with Pap [William Henley - mlj] as a member of the family. She married and left there after Pap died. Jane Hendley never had children by William... my father. /s/ Harriett Stewart Mrs. Marion Anderson age 47, live Jackson County. Am a daughter of Mrs. Harriett Stewart. Knew William and Jane Hendley in their lifetime. P. J. [her X] Anderson Levi Stewart age 70, live Jackson Co., farmer. Josh M. Maberry died 8-10 years ago. He told me he had written a deed for Joel Hendley to Jane Hendley... same land they taken away from us. Question: Are you sometimes called Ben Stewart and sometimes Levi Stewart?

16 Answer: Yes sir. I've known the lands since , the Rev. Joel Hendley lived there. William Hendley moved on it in 1866 a few months before Joel Hendley's death and lived there until he died. Me and my wife lived there until the lawsuit with Rebecca Rector. Question: Did Philena Hendley (Rector) or her daughter Rebecca ever have possession except to live in the house with William Hendley? Answer: No sir. /s/ Levi Steward DEPOSITIONS, April 6, 1916 at a little store near Rock's old mill in Putnam County: T. G. Phillips, age about 40 or 50, live Jackson Co., am a farmer. Contracted with Becky Rector to buy land in litigation. T. G. [his X] Phillips Harriett Stewart, age 66, live Jackson County. My grand father Joel Hendley died in My father William died about twenty years ago. Jane Hendley, my step mother, died some thirty years ago. I let P. J. Anderson have the deed, and he took it off to Gainesboro [Note: Mrs. Stewart may have stated "P. J. Anderson" when she meant P. J. Anderson's husband Marion. See his deposition below - mlj]. Philena Henley was crippled with White's swelling [Tuberculosis of the bone - mlj] in her leg and couldn't hardly walk. Philena died before father died. I found the deed in the trunk after he died. Question: Didn't Joel Hendley give the land to your father to take care of him in his old age? Answer: He gave it to mother according to the way he made the deed. I was only about sixteen years old. There was 250 acres. Question: Didn't the complainants D. H. Goolsby,?G. W. Goolsby and the other Goolsbys live on the land with your father at the time Joel Hendley made the deed to Jane Hendley? Answer: They lived in Kentucky I think. Believe some of the oldest, Byrd and George and seems like Dick and the old man and woman lived there a while with Joel Henley, father William and Jane. They did not live in the house with them. They built a house and stayed a year or two. George was just a goslin of a boy. He was thinking himself a man... was not a man at all... the others were older than George. Seems Byrd hired to Papa and worked one summer after the family left. He was 20 or 21 then I guess. Joel Henley was living with me when he died. After Jane died, William married twice. /s/ Harriett Stewart W. R. (Russell) Lee, age 50, farmer and pedler [sic], live Jackson Co. Been close to the land ten years or more. Robert and Mrs. Hanie cultivated the land in 1914 and I cultivated part of it in Glenmore Johnson came to my house and eat dinner with me and we went and looked at it. He wanted to see Morse Hanie. /s/ W. R. Lee J. J. Carrington age 53, live 9th District, I am a farmer. Know George Goolsby, Byrd Goolsby, Carry McBroom, Rebecca Rector. Knew Jane Henley, not Joel. Saw the deed, Joel to Jane, about 1896 or 97, told Harriett Stewart that deed wouldn't stay about me. Understand Harriett Stewart is the daughter of William Stewart by a former marriage. From the time I saw the deed until a year or two ago, Levy Stewart and his wife occupied it... Understand Joel Henley executed a deed to his son John Henley and wife Martha Henley... I looked it up and it was made to Jno Henley acres more or less in each deed. W. A. Gentry has the John Henley deed. I quit practicing law five or six years ago. Have a license to practice before a J.P., but not a court of record. Understand John Henly is a brother of Bill Henly and a son of Joel Henly. Bill Henly died about 1895 or 6. Understand Jane died first. I am a son in law of Harriett Stewart who is the only child of Bill Henly. They obtained a quit claim deed from Jack Mabry heirs. Mrs. Stewart and her husband remained in possession of the land. /s/ J. J. Carrington

17 Dellie Carrington age 45. I am the wife of J. J. Carrington and the daughter of Harriett Stewart. William Henly, deceased was my grandfather; he died years ago. Levi Stewart and his family lived with him the last year or two of his life. I heard grand father talking about the deed when I was 13 or after they moved back from White County, Tennessee He didn't know why Joel didn't deed the land to him. /s/ D. D. Carrington Ollie Henley age 38, live Overton County, TN. Jane Henly was my step grand mother. I saw the deed from Joel Henly to Jane Henly at Pa's... /s/ Ollie Henly J. J. Carrington [Cross-examined]. I married December, 1894, the 25th at 3:30 to Delia Steward, a grand daughter of Bill Hendley, in White Co., before Bill Henly died and after Jane Henly. Think he died in Feby /s/ J. J. Carrington Ben or Levy Stewart [No age]. I am the husband of Hariett Stewart, the only child of William Hendly deceased. Married in Believe Jane died between , somewhere along 1885, 1886 or John Goolsby and I believe three of his children moved on the land. Believe one was George. George Goolsby about a year ago said his aunt Jane Henley told him she had a deed to the place but that he didn't know how to get at it. Understand Jane Goolsby was his aunt, not his sister. My wife is not here today. She gave her deposition at Putnam County the other day [April 16, 1916] and it just about wore her out. Putnam County is three miles from us and this is sixteen miles. /s/ Levi Stewart Waymond Stewart [No age]. I am a son of Harriett and Levi Stewart. My deposition, father's, mothers and Mrs. Anderson's were all taken at J. D. Smith's son's store in Putnam Co. Tom Holloway is my brother in law. Question: Did you and Holloway go and try to buy the land from Goolsby? Answer: We went and tried to buy it. /s/ L. W. Steward Marion Anderson [No age]. Me and William Draper were lawyers for Levy Stewart on the case of Rebecca Rector. I am the husband of P. J. Anderson. We were married 1st February The best I can remember Jane Hendley died in Some of the Goolsbys lived on the land with William and Jane Hendley when me and my father moved to the Flatt woods in Byrd and George, the two youngest, was there with their father. /s/ M. W. Anderson J. E. Stone, going on age 57, am a farmer, live 1st District of Putnam County. Me and my wife and mother in law lived on the land in controversy about October [18]80 to October [18]84. There were two houses on the place. Bill Hendley and his folks, Synth Pippin or Goolsby and Phylene Hendley lived in one. Question: How long did Jane Hendly live after you moved on the place October 83 [sic]? Answer: Jane Hendley lived until the last of May or first of June after I moved there. Just before Jane died she gave the deed to Synth Goolsby and told her she gave her that for waiting on her in her last sickness. This was something like three weeks before she died. Question: Who all was present when Jane told Synth Goolsby or Pippin... could have the place? Answer: Believe John Kinnard - a widow woman's son, don't know her name, Bill, Jane and Synth. Synth is dead. Don't know about John Kinnard. About three years after Jane's death, William Hendley married a Welch, divorced her. I reckon she is living. Next married a Smith. He made a deed to Philena Hendley or Rector to keep Mary Welch off of it. He said she would deed it back to him any time. It was just after he and Mary Welch separated. Synth Goolsby lived about ten years after Jane died. She was around 50 when Jane died. She and her husband were not living together. Heard her say she married Mark Goolsby. Don't know if he was living or dead then... never lived together after that. My wife is not related to any of the Goolsbys. She's a little distant related to Rebecca Rector. I am no relation to any of them. /s/ *Z. E. Stone [*Initial here looks more like "Z" instead of "J" - mlj]. D. H. Goolsby, age 66, live on Falling Waters River, Putnam County, am a miller and farmer, am a complainant in this case. Knew Jane Hendley and her husband in their lifetime. She is my aunt. She was a sister to my mother. She never had children. Her mother and father are dead. When she died, I lived in Kentucky. I moved there about 46 years ago, moved back to Putnam County seven years ago. Question: When did you first learn that your Aunt Jane Hendley had a deed to the land in litigation and how did you learn it?

18 Answer: It was after the lawsuit them folks had over there. My brother come to my house and told me that Carrington had wrote him about the deed and he went to see about it and he came by my house and told me about it. Question: About how long ago has it been since your brother came to your house and told you what Carrington said about the deed? Answer: It has been something like three years... no information before that. I understand while I was in Kentucky my father John Goolsby lived there one year. Question: Was you ever at or on said land? Answer: Yes sir when I was a boy... was not on it since Question: How many brothers and sisters did your Aunt Jane Hendley have? Answer: I don't know whether I can tell or not. I can't think of but three sisters now, there was some half brothers and sisters but I never knew them, don't remember any of the brothers except half brothers Harve and Hogue Pippin I understand they are dead. Question: What relation is Lucy McBroom to you? Answer: Sister. Question: Is she married or single. If married what is her husband's name and is he living or dead. Answer: She is married to George McBroom... both living... married guess it has been fifty years ago, still living together as husband and wife. [My] brother George Goolsby is between 45 and 50 I think. [My] brother Richard Goolsby is dead... about years ago. Cross-Examined: Please give the names of the brothers and sisters of Jane Hendley, both of the whole and half blood. Answer: Betsy, Syntha and Polley were whole sisters. I can't call to mind the brothers - yes, there was Byrd and Log Pippin. I never saw them but a few times. Question: Are all or any of them living. Answer: My best understanding is that all the whole brothers and sisters are dead. Question: Did they leve [sic] any children or either of them if so which ones and how many children. Answer: If any of them left children it was Uncle Logue. I don't know whether he had any children or not or whether he was ever married. I understand Uncle Bird was married. Question: At the time you lived in Kentucky and your father's family lived on the Joel Hendley place was you in communication with different members of the family. Answer: I got a letter from father once in a while. Did you state your Uncle Bird was married. Answer: Yes. That is my understanding. Question: Didn't you receive letters from some of the family... about Jane Hendley's death. Answer: No sir. My brother told me about it in Jackson Co. on Cub Creek some years after her death. Question: Which one... Answer: Logan Goolsby. Question: Was this while your home was in Kentucky.

19 Answer: Yes sir. Question: Did Logan say what Jane had done with her property. Answer: No sir. Brother George first told me about the deed from Joel to Jane Hendley. He said that John Carrington either told him over the phone or wrote him. Question: Has Jane Hendley any other heirs than those mentioned in the bill. Answer: I don't call any others to mind right now. Lucy McBroom lived at Double Springs when Jane died. Before that, twelve to fifty miles. Question: Where did your other brothers and sisters live at Jane's death. Answer: I expect two of them lived at Celina, Tennessee. George lived at Celina and I expect Byrd did too. Brother Logue was dead and brother Rich dead too I think. Question: Your family was on good terms with Jane and Bill Henley up until the death of Jane... visited back and forth. Answer: I never heard anything to the contrary. I was in Kentucky. Question: Didn't George or Byrd one stay at Bill Hendley's for some time after [your] father left there and in fact make it their home for two or three years. Answer: I don't know. I was in Kentucky. /s/ D. H. Goolsby PROSECUTION BOND: D. H. Goolsby, G. W. Goolsby, B. S. Goolsby, Lucy McBroom and husband George McBroom, James Goolsby, Goodall Goolsby to Rebecca Rector.
