end of note [5, 6]
- Elisha PEPPER According to Worth Ray's Tennessee Cousins, Elisha married Margaret MORROW, daughter of ? 71. Robert MORROW.
The following is from Goodspeed's 1887 History of Warren County.
"So far as known, the first man to settle in the county was Elisha Pepper, who came to what is now the neighborhood of McMinnville from Virginia in about 1800, and lived to be one hundred years of age, during which time he never saw a train of cars.
When the question of voting money to aid in the building the McMinnville Branch Railroad, Mr. Pepper vigorously and bitterly opposed the scheme, and upon the success of the proposition, declared he would have none of the railroad in his, and although living for years in sound of the passing trains, persisted in his opposition and delaration, and never could be induced to look at the cars."
(Charles A. Sherrill)
