      SOURCE: ALTON B. GULLEDGE, MEMPHIS, TN SEPTEMBER 30,1970

      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.

      FROM David Bowman Jr.:
      Settled in Perry County Tennessee old 5th Distric which became 12th Distric,Decatur County in 1845. Mr Gulledge settled on the Gulledge branch and Cub Creek. He was burried at the old Gulledge settlers grave yard on A bluff on the Gulledge Branch. (Note in book I do not know where AB got the information and do not know if it is any relation to these Gulledges) A William Gulledge and a Tomas Gulledge had militay service with the Militia, Probly the state Militia in the Indian Wars and the War of 1812. Rearch is needed on theifr famly too.
      Where Sarah was born not clear 1960 census shows her being born in GA. maybe SC. Sara died 1869 at old home place Gulledge branch and Cub Creek. Buried at the old Gulledge settlere's graveyard
