History of Tennessee. Obion County
The Goodspeed Publishing Co.,
Nashville, 1887
The first white settlements within the present bounds of Obion County was made in 1819 by Elisha Parker, in the northeast part of the county. In the fall of the following year Col. William M. Wilson, with his family, located about three miles southwest (p 816) from Troy. He soon after removed to Jackson, but returned the next year, and his son, Thomas D. Wilson, is said to have been the first white child born in the county. During the next year or two the settlement went on quite rapidly. Rice Williams located near Troy, and after that place was laid out became its first resident. John Parr opened a farm five miles north of Troy; William Hutchinson nine miles west; George Davidson, twelve miles west, on what is now the Dyersburg road, and Joel S. Enloe about four miles east. Alexander Starrett settled about one mile south of the present site of Palestine, and JOHN AND WILLIAM CARTER in Civil District No. 7. John Polk located, where Polk Station now is, in 1833. Among other early settlers were Obadiah Roberts, northwest of Union City; Benjamin Totten, at Totten's well, in the northeast part of the county; also in the same locality, Jethro L. Byrd, John Harpole and Thomas Sayles; Willis and James Caldwell, west of Union City; John Killian, John Y. Brown and Henry Moppin, in the vicinity of Protemus. Indeed the settlements were made so rapidly after the opening of the territory that to give a list of all the early pioneers would be impossible.
