1811
Anderson Co. Tennessee Records Court Minutes 1810-1834.
There is an entry on 7/10/1811 where road work is being ordered and it begins from where William Taber now lives down the Buckhorn Valley past Bradens plantation from there past Wm. Tunnell, Sr and from thence past where Rueben Peters lives from there the best and nearest way to where it will intersect the road leading by Wm. Mc Kamy. [source; Anderson Co records at McClung Library, Knoxville, TN]
This could be William and Susannah Tubb Tabor, but William had two landgrants in White Co TN in 1808-9. A person had five years to improve their landgrants or lose them.So, it's possible that they were in Anderson Co for a couple of years before moving on to White because there were no more records for him and he never served on a jury like John did, indicating that he didn't own land. The information that I have found on William is contradictory.
I think that this William on the road crew is the son of John1 b in 1798 and the person who transcribed the original document got the date wrong - it was probably 1819. When my cousin went to the McClung Library in Knoxville, she wrote down this and the land sale from John Bounds to John Tabor (see 1817) from the same book. The book had the date for the land sale as 1812 but when we sent for a copy of the deed, it was 1817.
1819
From "Tennessee Fourth Surveyor's District Land Surveys 1814 1824 (Anderson, Bledsoe, Campbell, Morgan, Overton, Rhea and Roane Counties, Tenn.)" compiled and indexed by Robert L. Bailey 1996.
