  • Notes 
    • Roane County, Tennessee Chancery Court Minutes, Roll #39, Book , Pages 725-729 Date: Dec 10, 1833 William C. Kington and wife Rhody, David Summer and wife Charlotte, Matthew Williams and wife Sally, and Isaac England and wife Rebecca VS David M. Rector On July 11, 1830, Martin Rector executed a deed to David M. Rector. On the same day, he executed a bill of sale to David M. and Polly Ann Rector for a Negro boy named Bob and a Negro woman named Lucinda. The Plaintiffs maintain that the Bank of Tennessee called in a loan to Martin Rector. In an effort to prevent the Bank from taking everything, he deeded all his lands and property to his children David and Polly Ann with the intent that when he settle with the Bank he would cancel the deed and the bill of sale. Before being able to do so, he fell sick. He called David to his bedside and requested that David produce the bill and deed so that he could cancel them, because Martin wanted all his children to inherit in his estate. Rather than producing the deed and bill, David took off. He returned a few hours before Martin died, but he never produced the bill and deed. The plaintiffs contend that they should rightfully share in the property. The Judge ruled in favor of David and Polly Ann. The plaintiffs planned to appeal the decision in the Supreme Court of Errors and Appeals in Knoxville on the 2nd Monday in July next (1834). Morgan County, Tennessee Deeds, Roll #18, Book C, Pages 104-106 Date: Apr 18, 1834 David M. Rector relinquishes his claim on the property of his father and gives it to his sister Polly Ann.

David bargained and sold 410 acres of land in Morgan County to James. The land was from what Martin sold to David and several Land Grants to David (January 31,1831 - Morgan County - Grants 16590, 16593, 16594, 16595, 16596). Morgan County, Tennessee Deeds, Roll #18, Book C, Pages 262-265 Date: Apr 4, 1837 David M. Rector sold four tracts of land in Morgan County to James Galbreath (of Anderson County).

He was also a drunkard and spendthrift. David would go to town and buy himself a bottle of whiskey. He would then stay drunk for 3-4 days at a time. Afterwards, he would sober up and work properly for 3-4 weeks. Then he would do it again. David, mother Sarah, and wife Sarah all lived at a house owned by Richard Preston Brooks.
