Notes:
William (Whole America) Smith was born on the James River in Amhurst Co., Virginia. He Married in Mercer County, Kentucky, then lived on Jennings Creek in Tennessee for a while. He then went on to Barren County, Kentucky in 1805.
This portion of Barren County was later to become Metcalf County in 1860 and is located along Marrowbone Creek. (Carolynn Salas has found reference to William in Cumberland County in 1805.
Looking at the names of the Creeks at that time, she is sure it is the same land that is later partly in Barren. Jennings Creek is a branch of the Cumberland in Jackson County Tennessee nearly opposite to Gainesboro. (It is located in Central Tennessee not in East Tennessee as others have said.
Another source says that he settled on Jessenses Creek and in the fall of 1805 moved to the headwaters of Little Barren Creek of what was then Green County and then Barren County and now Metcalf County, in Kentucky.
A William Jr. Purchases 50 Acres on Little Barren River in 1838. This was either Whole America or his Grandson and looks as if it is his grandson, William S. Smith.
In 1835 William Jr. has 328 Acres on Little Barren.
520 Acres on Little Barren
170 Acres on Little Barren
200 Acres on Marrowbone in Cumberland
In 1840 William has 100 acres on Little Barren
124 Acres on Little Barren
204 Acres on Little Barren
625 Acres on Little Barren, All in Barren County.
164 Acres in Campbell on Philips Creek
In 1853 his heirs are selling:

225 Acres 2 trs Little Barren & Moccasin Dr
155 Acres on Marrowbone Creek

Name George W. SMITH (AFN:9JX9-V1)
Born: Abt 1818 , Barren, Kentucky
Born on James River in Amhurst Co (Amherst), Virginia. Below Tobacco Row Mtns. ??Is Tobacco Row Mtns = Blue Ridge Mtns?? In Pedlar district. Pedlar river on Inchanted Mtn??? Does this end up in West Virginia area??
I have found Tobacco Row Mtns and they are to east of Blue Ridge Mtns. Pedlar River is on west side of Tobacco Row Mts.
Married in Mercer County, (C. Salas...I could not find Wm on Mercer tax or land records...I believe lived in southern most area of Kentucky and/or northern area of Tennessee.) It is possible Mercer Co., was repository for records, yet her father lives there
then lived on Jennings Creek in E. Tennessee for a while and then to Barren Co. Jennings Creek is a branch of the Cumberland River in Jackson Co., Tennesse nearly opposite to Gainesboro. Jennings Creek was the first major creek off the Cumberland into the N.C. (Tennessee) Military District. This area was under the jurisdiction of North Carolina and was on the eastern edge. Today it is in central Tennessee.
JENNING'S CREEK from THE LOST TOWN OF BLEDSOEBOROUGH, TENNESSEE: ITS BEGINNING, ITS END by Vernon Roddy Upper Country People Probe 1948 US/CAN 976.852 H24
1980: "Jennings Creek" was mentioned in the Sumner County Court minutes for the first known time on Wednesday, April 6, 1796, when judgement-by-default
was rendered against Thomas White in favor of Thomas Patton, with damages
levied on a 403-acre tract of land lying on Jennings Creek.
On Wednesday, Dec 18, 1799, the SMITH County Court minutes tell us that
Edmund Jennings was given the privileges of Keeping a ferry "near the mouth of Jennings Creek", and ferriage rates were also stipulated at the same time.
Edmund Jennings, born in 1751, died 6 Dec 1840 (Pension)

Kentucky in 1805 (I have found reference to William in CUMBERLAND county

same land that is later partly in Barren.
