[A2-5] "Daniel McAninch of Greene County" indicates that Daniel is already living in the county


[A2-6] Even after the Revolutionary War, Virginia pounds currency was still in use on the frontier;

Daniel had probably acquired some during the journey south through Virginia, and/or sale of goods

after they arrived in Teneessee; Virginia pounds, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_pound

[A2-7] Any connection(s) between or among Daniel McAninch and the other three men -

"Jonathan Williams of Grainger County", "Shobal Elliss" and "Samuel Frazier" - are not known


[A2-8 For unknown reasons, this 1796 purchase was recorded ten months later, in August, 1797


[A2-9] Daniel Kennedy, Clerk of the County Court, 1783-1802, and George Brown, Register,

[A2-10] The "Beginning at two maple saplings . . ." ‘metes and bounds’ description of the 100 acres

". . . on the North side of Nolachucky river . . ." on a ". . . a branch of Little Sinking Creek . . ." is

the same in both the 14 October 1796 Purchase record and the 21 October 1797 Sale record.


[A2-11] Any connection(s) between or among Daniel McAninch and the other three men -

"Melon Haworth" of Greene County, "Thomas Brown" and "Jesse Wright" - are not known


[A2-12] For unknown reasons, this 1797 land sale was not recorded until eleven years later,

in December, 1808, when it was recorded in the ‘Deeds, vol. 8 1806-1809’ book (yes, 1806-1809).

After selling this land in October 1797, Daniel McAninch went through the Cumberland Gap and

down the Wilderness Road to Lincoln County, Kentucky, so the delayed recording was probably

connected with other Melon Haworth transaction(s) in 1808 (not involving Daniel McAninch).
