Stones' River and on the waters of Suggs Creek in Wilson Co to James Yandell for $325 (Deed Book I,

land was described as on the east side of Stone's River, lying in Wilson and Rutherford Counties, TN on

1850 census Wilson Co TN p454b, Civil district #26
James Yandell 81 NC
Polly 73 SC
Morris Bland 19 TN

He has no occupation. He and his wife can read and write.

1840 census Wilson Co TN p244, twp not stated (district allotted to Gid C Matlock)
James Yandle 1 M 30-40, 1 M 50-60, 1 F 15-20, 1 F 60-70
[Thomas 28?, James 71?, Matilda Weaver 17, Mary 64]
[There is a mark in the column for M 20-30, but it is crossed out. Thomas should have been 28 as of the
official census date. He married Matilda in 1841.]
Next door is James H Yandle, his son.

1830 census Wilson Co TN p108, twp not stated (district allotted to Harone? A Hays)
James Yandal 2 M 10-15, 1 M 15-20, 1 M 20-30, 1 M 60-70, 1 F <5, 1 F 15-20, 1 F 30-40, 1 F 50-60
[John Weaver, James 14, Thomas 18, William 21, James 61, Matilda Weaver 7, Mary Ann 16, Matilda Weaver, Mary 54]

I think William is living with James. William married in 1828, but then married again in late 1830. It appears
his first wife died right after they married, and he moved back in with his parents.
But it could be that Thomas is 20 and James is 15. I don't see William on the census in Wilson Co
otherwise, so for now I'm assuming the sons with James were as above.
See notes for son Thomas' wife regarding the Weavers.

James married Mary "Polly" Kirkpatrick, daughter of Robert Kirkpatrick and Rebecca Wood, in 1804 in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, USA.¹ (Mary "Polly" Kirkpatrick was born about 1775 in Camden District, Chester County, South Carolina, USA and died on 21 Aug 1852 in Wilson County, Tennessee, USA.)
