Daniel Leatherwood was born in 1806 and died in 1891 in Blount County, Tennessee. He died without a will. His wife died before him. His possessions were sold and his debts paid and the remainder was divided among his heirs. The settlement lists 11 heirs.
1. John Leatherwood - deceased. His portion was divided among his four heirs listed in the settlement as Martha Leatherwood, Columbus Leatherwood, John Leatherwood, and Mary Roberts.
2. Rachel Wilson, wife of Joseph Wilson
3.Thomas Leatherwood
4. Elizabeth Dennis, wife of Isaac Dennis
5. Joseph Leatherwood
6. Francis E. Thomas, wife of A. J. Thomas
7. Mary Wilson, wife of William Wilson.
8. Martha Orr, wife of John Sanders Orr
9. George H. Leatherwood
10. W. L. Leatherwood
11. Sarah Large, wife of Samuel Large
Daniel Leatherwood had three other children that I assume died without heirs prior to 1891. Jane Leatherwood seems to have died young between 1850 and 1860. Nancy Leatherwood died in 1875. Lemons Leatherwood died sometime after 1860.
The mystery here for me is in the four heirs of John Leatherwood. I can only find children Columbus, John Jr., and Mary in census records. I can find no record of Martha Leatherwood, heir of John.
