WILLIAM CAME TO HICKMAN COUNTY AND PERRY COUNTY IN TENNESSEE AS EARLY AS 1813, AND CROSSED OVER INTO DECATUR COUNTY IN WEST TENNESSEE ABOUT 1820 TO 1822, AFTER TREATY WITH INDIANS, AND THEIR REMOVAL. WE, ARE NOT SURE AT THE PRESENT TIME, BUT FEEL VERY STRONG THAT IT IS A POSSIBILITY THAT MY GREAT-GREAT-GREAT-GREAT-GRANDPARENTS WERE ALSO ANOTHER WILLIAM GULLEDGE, AND WIFE TEMPLE JONES GULLEDGE, AS WE HAVE FOUND A RECORD OF MARRIAGE LICENSE BEING ISSUED TO THEM AT THE DAVIDSON COUNTY COURT HOUSE-NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE. BOOK #1, FROM JANUARY 2, 1789 TO DECEMBER 13, 1837 ON PAGE #30 DECEMBER 22, 1797 A LICENSE WAS ISSUED FOR THIER MARRIAGE. THE GULLEDGE'S HAD MOVED ACROSS TENNESSEE, THROUGH VARIOUS COUNTYS UNTIL THEY GOT TO ROBERTSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE (THIRTY ODD MILES NORTH OF NASHVILLE), AND THEN THEY STARTED A SOUTH-WESTERLY MOVEMENT THROUGH DAVIDSON COUNTY, HICKMAN COUNTY, AND HUMPHREY COUNTY TO THE TENNESSEE RIVER. I HAVE A FEELING THAT IS NOT FAR FROM WAVERLY, TENNESSEE AND CAMDEN, TENNESSEE. THEY LIVED AND DIED ON THIS FARM (A GOOD SIZED FARM-SEVERAL MEMBERS HAD HOMES ON IT). THIER HOME WAS ON A "PERIMETER RIDGE" JUST OUT OF CUB CREEK BOTTOM, SOMETHING LIKE THREE QUARTERS OF A MILE SOUTH OF JOHN TAYLOR AND JANIE QUINN'S HOME, THERE IS STILL SIGNS OF THE OLD HOME AND CHIMNEY. ON A "BRANCH" THAT RUNS JUST SOUTH OF JOHN TAYLOR QUINN'S HOME IS A LOCATION OF A "BRIDGE" THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THERE-THIS BRIDGE IS AT A POINT OF A "HIGH BLUFF" ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE BRANCH, AND ON THIS HIGH-BLUFF RIGHT ON THE BRANCH IS "THE OLD TIME GULLEDGE SETTLER'S GRAVEYARD" WHERE THE OLDER ONES FIRST BURIED THEIR FOLKS. THERE IS BETTER THAN TWENTY GRAVES HERE WITH STANDING SANDSTONE HEADMARKERS. WILLIAM, SARAH (HIS WIFE)- WILLIAM CARROLL AND HIS WIFE FRANCES DOWDY GULLEDGE, ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT WE CAN BE SURE OF AT THE PRESENT TIME. JUST SOUTH OF THIS GRAVEYARD, IS THE FAMILY GRAVEYARD OF JAMES GULLEDGE, AND HIS WIFE VISA (OR VISEY) GIBSON GULLEDGE ARE BURIED HERE-THEY HAVE A GRANITE AND INSCRIPTIONS. ALSO WILLIAM (OR BILL) GULLEDGE, JIM HIRAM GULLEDGE, JOHN HENRY, AND THIER SISTERS ARE BURIED HERE, THIS GRAVEYARD IS ABOUT A THIRD OF A MILE SOUTH OF THE OLD GRAVEYARD. AT THE JOHN TAYLOR QUINN AND HIS WIFE JANIE'S IS ANOTHER GRAVEYARD WHERE WE FIND JOHN GULLEDGE, AND HIS WIFE ELIZABETH HAMPTON GULLEDGE BURIED HERE, IT IS BELIVED THAT THEY, AND THIER OWN FAMILY STARTED THIS GRAVEYARD. JOHN TAYLOR QUINN WAS BURIED HERE, BUT WIFE JANIE WAS BURIED AT THE NEW CEMETARY AT CEDAR HILL.

Notes:

Will 31 Oct 1778 Prior to the War of Revolution, a father and five children came from England to America. Two of the sons fell fighting with the colonial army for American independence. One of the remaining three was numbered among the founders of the Mechlenberg colony in NC." Appears to have reached majority by 1737 (land left to brother is left in a trust) - Cashed out circa 1739 having already migrated 50 miles to the south to Edgecombe Precinct, NC. Began acquiring land in the Halifax/Edgecombe, NC area - source Clay Abrams.
In the will he left realty to his son by his second wife (Temple) "Briton" (Brittain) and directed that the remainder of his estate be divided equally "between all my children."

William Gulledge & Lum Hood Gulledge only Williams listed 1790, 1800,1810 Anson Co. Census-possibly had a son Eli Gulledge who married a Nancy and went to Spartanburg District, NC-possibly had a daughter Hannah who was a member of the Gulledge Meeting House 1801

William married Bathsheba (Barsheba) WATTS before 1770 in Anson, North Carolina. Bathsheba (daughter of "Trader" John WATTS, "Forked Tongue" and Gi-Yo-Sti-Ko-Yo-He BIRD CLAN) was born about 1746 in Tasagi Town, Edgecombe County, North Carolina; died in 1805 in Wadesboro, Anson, North Carolina; was buried in 1805 in Reverend Joel Gulledge Cemetery, Deep Creek, Anson, North Carolina.

• Name: Barsheba Watts
• _UID: A3A96B527B6D4529B3810557A6335AB9DB3F

Notes:

Bathsheba was born between 1745 and 1750 (best info 1746) either in Edgecombe County or near Anson County, North Carolina. She married William Gulledge between 1770 and 1772 in Anson County. I strongly believe that she was a daughter of Trader John Watts who married Gi-Yo-Sti-Ko-Yo-He of the Bird Clan. They were the parents of John Watts, Jr. otherwise known as Young Tassel. Evidence of this is the will of Malachi Watts (son of Trader John Watts) who died in Anson County, N.C. in 1804 and had William Gulledge as a witness to the will. Could Malachi Watts have been a brother to Bathsheba Watts Gulledge? Also William Gulledge and Bathsheba Watts had a son named Stephen Malachi Gulledge which is a clue.
