Cannon County Minutes Book:
6 June, 1836 Woodbury, Cannon Co., TN.
"On motion, Archalous Prater, about 70 years of age, personally appeared in
open court and made oath that he was acquainted with Joel Mears and in his
lifetime and that Margaret, (formerly Margaret Estes) and deponet further
states that on about the 30th Sept., 1827 he being an authrozed minister of
the Gospel, married the said Margaret to the said Joel, dec'd, and states that
sometime in the latter part of the year 1835 the said Joel Mears deceased in
Warren Co., TN."
(other witness, Isham saw Prater....signed, ect.)
Joel Mears died 21 Dec., 1835.
---------------------------------------------------
Arch is listed age 84 in 1850 Census Warren Co., TN.
Looking at census and other records his listed age puts his birth year
at between 1766 and 1769. His parents were married in/or about 1768,
thus it is most likely his birth date is after 1768.
Note: The only record of his parents marriage is a Will record which
may or may not show the correct date of their marriage.
