Notes:

James Petty Apperson, born April 15, 1829, in Henry County, Tenn., was the 3rd child of Peter and Elizabeth Petty Apperson. He was taken by his parents to live near Springfield, Green County, Mo., in 1831, where he grew up and received a public school education. He was a friendly person and we can be sure he took part in the usual church,social and civic activities of the community. His family was active in the Baptist Church and his Grandfather, Rev. Ralph Petty at the time was a very prominent Baptist Minister in Kentucky.

James Petty Apperson loved his adopted State of Texas. As told before, Peter Apperson procured land grants, bought out head-rights and land from other settlers until he owned several tho us and acres of land and my Grandfather was very helpful to him in management of the large estate. Petty Apperson had his good times and fun too. He liked to dance! After he changed from the Baptist to membership in the Methodist Church he was very opposed to it. His special dancing partner after she arrived in Texas from Illinois in 1848 was Mary Catherine Gray, born November 24, 1831 at Butler, Ill., the daughter of Andrew Kincade and Elizabeth Overtreet Gray. The first Gray in America was Alexander who came from Ireland in 1736 and settled in that part of Virginia now in North Carolina.

Danni,
Have some info that may match with what you are looking for. I am related to Peter Apperson (1784-1853), older brother to Francis Apperson and son of William Apperson of Surry Co., NC.

I've heard Francis called "Doc" and that the brothers all left TN Jan 21, 1816 for MO to purchase land near Pisgah, MO. I know that my greatgrandfather James Petty Apperson left the home of his father Peter Apperson in Greene County, Missouri at the age of 16 on foot with 4 Negroes and an Irishman for Texas to purchase land after the admission of Texas to the US. Ended up settling by Waxahachie Creeksouth of Dallas, just one mile below Waxahachie. Peter eventually owned several thousands acres and was considered to be one of the wealthiest, if not the wealthiest man in Navarro County (Now Ellis Co.)

I've got more information on family and decendents that I'm willing to share. email me with any info or requests you have

US Census of 1820 they are in Henry Co., TN

Peter Apperson, the writer's great-grandfather, second child ofWilliam and Elizabeth Kerr Ap person, was born March 23, l784, ontheir plantation in Surry County, N.C., near the presen t town of EastBend. The date of birth is confirmed by the family page of his parents Bible , as well as by his gravestone on his homestead near Waxahachie,Texas.

As a youth he attended the nearby country school, the only education he received. He learned arithmetic well it appears since later he became a good business man and at the time of his death in, Texas in 1853 he was one of the largest land owners and a wealthy man. His family attended services of the Primitive Baptist Church in their community, taking their children along. Peter grew up to be a fine young man, taking his place in the various activities of the neighborhood we can be sure. He was of that first generation ofAmericans to grow up following the end of the Revolutionary War, a period during which the new United States was being firmly molded into a united nation by such leaders as Washington, Jefferson, the Adams, Franklin and others. It was a time when the people generally had settled down to work, attempting to recoup lost fortunes and build new ones. The Indians had become less troublesome and a feeling of security and confidence appears to have taken over. One may be sure that Peter Apperson heard much discussion among his elders as to the measures best suited to strengthen the new nation politically and economically and build up her image abroad. Those young men reaching manhood about the year 18OO listened well and filled their places inthe development of our great country. They were ever looking forward to betterment of their status in life both spiritually and economically. They were, therefore, in the forefront of those pioneers stirred by stories of the exploits of Daniel Boone, helping to open the trail westward from North Carolina, a poor State economically,and from other eastern States.
