Samuel Davis Sublett

(1791 - 1861)



Samuel D. Sublett and Margaret C. Hayden, 8 Feb 1819, both over 21, Sec: John Jackson

1820 Census - Samuel D. Sublett does not seem to have been enumerated in Logan Co, although I know they were living on, or at least farming, John M. Haden's property in Logan Co - which sat almost on the Logan/Warren Co line. They were enumerated next to John Jackson, her father in Warren Co. There was also an older Samuel Sublett living in Warren Co, presumably an uncle.

Ack by Sublett. Margaret C. Sublett relinquished dower rights. 30 Jul 1828. [This would appear to be Margaret's dower land passed to her as widow of John M. Haden. It was also a mortgage - see quit claim of September 1840.]

US Census 1830 KY, Logan County
