My guess would be the land was an original North Carolina or Rev War
land grant that would have been given in Davidson County, formed in 1783
from the "Tennassee Territory or Mero District." Williamson County was
not established until 1799. The land was along the Harpeth and South
Harpeth Rivers. If you look on a map of this area, Kingston Springs is
on Hwy 70 appx 8 miles or so west of the Harpeth River in Bellevue ,
southwest of Nashville.
This will probably generate more questions than it does answers, but
hope it helps some.
Marriage Information:
Daniel married Sarah Bassett, daughter of Unknown and Unknown. (Sarah Bassett died before Oct 1837.)
