  • Notes 
    • See attached sources. [16]
    • (Research):It is interesting to note that a Samuel Hartley was appointed to the jury to serve the Dickson County court of pleas and quarter sessions in June 1804. This would have been around the time that James and Elizabeth Hartley/Heartley moved from GA to Dickson County.
      I cannot find any census data for Samuel Hartley that would appear to be a possible match to this individual, except for 1830 Washington Co IN, where there is a Samuel Hartley (male 26 - 45) next door to James Hartley (male over 45) and William Hartley (male 26 - 45). A search of WorldConnect reveals a Samuel HArtley, born 1789 in Burke Co NC, the son of James Hartley, born abt 1763, Snow Hill MD.
      This could be an avenue for further research on the possible Hartley connection with our Walker family. [17]
