Narrative

Docia Sturgill was born in Orange Co. VA (present Green Co) and came to present Grayson Co. in her fathers family 1771-72. She married John Hash II about 1782 and they made their first home in Grayson Co. where their first four children were born. Tax records show that they remained in Grayson Co. past 1795. About 1798 John and his brother Thomas took their families to Green Co. TN. In 1803 John sold the land he had bought in TN to his brother Thomas and returned to Ashe Co. NC (present Alleghany Co) where he bought a farm on Potato creek. This farm was located across New River from the farm in Grayson Co. where he was raised. In 1813 John and Docia sold the Potato creek farm to Solomon and Lydia Parsons and moved to Warren Co. TN (Lydia Sturgill Parsons was a niece of Docia) About 1826 John and Docia moved to Sangamon Co. IL where it is believed that Docia died after 1830. In 1836 two of their sons, Alvin and Fielding, moved toWashington Co. Arkansas and John went with them and died there after 1840. His place of burial was said to be Lone Oak AR but this place cannot be located on any current maps.-p. 38

Other researchers say that John Hash died in Il in 1828. I do not know what evidence there is for this. In the 1840 cesus of Lawrence Co. IN a John Hash b. 1790-1800 lived near Lewis Sturgill in Lawrence Co. He had two children, a boy and a girl both under 5 years of age. D. A. S. - p. 38
