Pioneer Elliott lineage ties to Rutherford County history
An 1830s Rutherford County bond case widens into a family chronicle. The writer links Sheriff Fed Alley’s failed bond, Major Lewis, and the Elliott, Crenshaw, and Doggett families to early settlement along Brushy Creek and Hinton's Creek. The account recounts land, mills, slavery, and a frontier clash near Nashville with ties to Mecklenberg Virginia, Caswell County, and War era events.
