Compendium of Local Biography 1898 p227
Col. S.C. Norwood among the most prominent men now living in Bledsoe county who have won an honorable name as a citizen of that county, none is better deserving of representation in a volume of this nature than the gentleman whose name introduces this sketch. Colonel Norwood was born in the town of Maryville, Blount county, TN., February 27, 1822, a son of John and Sarah (Crouch) Norwood. The father was of Irish descent, born in Baltimore of a family of three brothers - one of whom went to North Carolina, one to Alabama, and John to Tennessee. From these have sprung large families in each state. Our subject's father, John Norwood, was contemporaneous with Sam Houston, and was a warm personal friend and accompanied him in his campaigns in the Indian wars, and when Houston was badly wounded, he hauled him back to Maryville where they both then lived.

Col. Norwood had no educational advantages in early life, the extent of it being comprised in the old woodback Dilworth spelling book and addition in arithmetic, and what he may have acquired after manhood was by absorption, through a comprehensive, penetrating and discriminating mind upon all questions presented to him. Upon this talent, and enforced by an indomitable energy, he built up an extensive business education or qualification, which gave him character of one of the most enterprising men of his county. But with his better qualities he possesses others less valuable - that of an extremely nervous, sensitive, impulsive, and combative nature, that frequently gives him occasions of great humiliation and pain.

In early life he developed great love for military tactics, and was promoted to command of a militia regiment, from which he derives the title affixed to his name. In the year 1856 he was appointed clerk and master of the chancery court at Pikeville, Tennessee, and served as such until 1865. This was the first field of his business education, where his natural love and talent for the law was rapidly developed and at the close of the war he was licensed to practice at the bar, with a knowledge and fear of his inability as a public speaker to make a success of his profession, hoping that time and labor would overcome his nature defects. But in a short time he became disheartened and surrendered his profession, for a wider field of activity and constant labor. Into this he entered and found a checkered and uncertain field, but indomitable energy and love for excitement gave him much success in business, mixed with many failures, in all of which his legal knowledge served him admirably. In this field he became an extensive stock dealer, and also, of general merchandise, and lastly, has done an extensive business in mineral lands, with a large balance sheet in his favor. The last and most fatal error of his life was in 1891. He bought twelve thousand dollars of stock in a national bank, whose annual reports showed a prosperous and lucrative business, but in 1893 its discounts and loans proved almost worthless and the bank failed with the loss of the entire capital.

His business principles were always conducted on the faith and conviction that "the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof " ; for God hath said, "It is me that giveth the power to get wealth" that "the Lord buildeth up and he teareth down" that "the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord forevermore." And whilst in the frequent success of business beyond that of many men of like intellect, he always attributed the same to the Lord, and tried to thus acknowledge him by unstinted acts of charity without ostentation or pride. And when, in his hasty and impulsive business habits, he made grievous mistakes, he humbly submitted without murmur or complaint, saying, "The Lord chasteneth whom he loveth.

He has been a zealous member of the church since 1848, and for the last eight years has devoted his life to the study of the Bible, more directly to the prophecies an revelations. During this time his notes and comments on these portions of the Good Book have been elaborate. From these, in the year 1895, he prepared an article for the "Chattanooga Times" showing from the Bible, that the world is now in the last days of the gentile dispensations and near the beginning or ushering in of Christ's return for the establishing of his kingdom on earth, and the destruction of all earthly kingdoms or governments. This was to be preceded by a time of trouble such as was never before known or ever will be again. He quoted the words of Christ's declaration of his return, and those of Daniel's prophecies of the same period. He showed that the irrepressible conflict of capital and labor, which is now threatening the disruption and destruction of every intelligent government on earth, was God's immediate agency for the destruction of all nations and governments of earth and for the erection of Christ's peaceable kingdom which shall bless all the nations of the earth and shall be good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. This article, by many Bible readers, was regarded as very timely. Some fifteen years since, Colonel Norwood wrote a long series of reminiscences of the history of Sequatchie Valley since 1838, as he knew it. This was interesting and instructive to the older inhabitants as well as the younger, and he has preserved the only copy of this history known, which should be preserved and held sacred by the younger generations. About the same time he wrote a minute history of the life of John A. Murrell, the great western land pirate. Starting after his discharge from the state prison to the date of his death at Pikeville, of his peculiar burial, the disinterring of his body, and his decapitation by two medical students. His head was last seen in a museum in Philadelphia, Penn. These articles have lately been reproduced by the "Fayetteville Observer" Fayetteville, Tennessee.

In the year 1841, Mr. Norwood was married to Catharine J. Hoodenpyle, daughter of Peter Hoodenpyle and granddaughter of Philip Hoodenpyle, born in the city of Amsterdam, Holland. Mr. Norwood and his wife are now in their seventy-seventh year and fifty-sixth of married life, and are living in the house on the farm where his wife was born and which was her patrimony.

Goodspeed, History of Tennessee, Warren County
WARREN COUNTY occupies a position nearly midway between the northern and southern boundaries of the State, and lies for the most part at the western base of the Cumberland table-land. Portions of the county have a high elevation, but most of it is from 900 to 1,000 feet above sea level................

...........When the pioneers came to what is now the territory of Warren County, they found the valleys and coves covered with an almost impenetrable growth of tall cane and the mountains and hills with heavy timber. Game was plentiful and many are the stories of exciting bear and deer hunts handed down and now told with keen relish by the sons of the hardy pioneers. The Indians had all been removed prior to that time, yet ample evidence of their presence here at one day remains; the ruins of an Indian village on Woodley Creek in the Seventh District, near John Woodleys old mill site, and an Indian mound of large dimensions on Collins River, in the Sixth District, and numerous other mounds and old burying-grounds remaining at present. Among those who secured grants from North Carolina calling for lands in Warren County were Wm. Banton, P. W. Anderson, Richard Butcher, Jeremiah Bolin, Joseph Colville, John Doak, Jesse Dodson, Sarah Elam, Joseph Franks, Robert Gordon, James Hubbard, Edward Hogan, Edward Hopkins, John Jones, Enoch Tobe, David Johnston, Wm. Johnston, Thomas Lowery, Isaiah Lowe, Luthrell Lott, John Looney, Samuel McGee, Wm. Richardson, John McGee, Daniel Cherry, Wm. C. Smartt, James Kane, John Woodley, Henry J. A. Hill and Aaron Higginbotham. 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. Other settlers of the same neighborhood aere Andrew Gambill, Lyon Mitchell, Joseph Colville, Drs. John Wilson and Wm. P. Lawrence, Edward Hogue, Wm. North, John Davis and Wm. Lisk, all of whom came between 1800 and 1810. The different settlements over the county made at the above time were as follows: John Smith, James Elkins, Thomas Russ, John Russ, Wm. Collier, James Collier, Wm. Lusk, in the Second District: Rock Martin, Jeremiah Jaco, Thomas Gribble and Joseph Campaign, in the Third District; Wm. Neals and the Hillises, in the Fourth District; Jacob Martin, Jacob A. Kome, W. J. Stubblefield, Wm. Smith, George Edwards, Jesse Safley, David Safley, Ezekial McGregor, Wylie Ware and John Meyers, in the Fifth District; Henry J. A. Hill, John Rogers, Isham Dikes, John Gross, John Bass, James Kane and Charles Sullivan, in the Sixth District: Joseph Cope, Robert Tate, Levi Rogers, John Woodley and Joshua Cartwright, in the Seventh District; Elisha Reynolds, Dr. Archibald Faulkner, Asa Faulkner, Leroy Hammond, Jesse R. Edwards, Stephen Tipton and Ransom Gynn, in the Eighth District; W. C. N. King, Miles Bonner, Wm. Smartt, John A. and James Northcup, Geroge Matthewson and H. J. King, in the Ninth District; Maj. Rains, Silas Alexander, Dr. Turner, Thomas Wilson, Isaac Wilson, Thjomas Hopkins, Mason French, John, James and Brown Spurlock and Jesse Crisp, in the Tenth District; Michael Deberry, George Spangler, Allen Youngblood, James Lanse, Russell brewer, Richard Ware, Britain Snipes, Isaac Starkley, Reuben Davenport, Archibald Prater, Robert Biles and James Whitlock, in the Eleventh District; John Kirby, Wmn. Kirby, the Hoppes, the Edges, the Stockstills and the Womacks, in the Thirteenth District, Jesse Gibbs, Thomas Borin, Samuel Honn, Clement Sullivan, Absalom Clark, Chesley Webb, Pleasant Blackman, James Durham and Samuel Hooster, in the Fourteenth District; Wm. Womack, James Webb, Sr., Solomon Mullican, Anderson Mulligan, James Green, Biras Webb, Abner Womack and harrel Byers, in the Fifteenth District. among the settlers of various parts of the county from 1810 to 1815 were James Cope, James Forest, John England, Alexander Brown, Stephen Jones, Wm. Miller, Joseph Mitchell, Elihu Sanders, John Campbell, Joshua Adkins, John Dodson, Jesse Dunlap, Reuben Elan, Micajah Estes, Ralph Elkins, John flemming, Hughes French, Elijah Fletcher, John Fortner, Jesse Gibbs, Lewis Howell, Joshua Hickerson, Howell Harris, Gillam Hurst, Nicholas Hughes, Irwin Hill, Lewis Jarvis, Reuben Hampton, Thomas Allen, andrew Buchanan, John Barclay, Jeremiah Coombs, James Kane, Oliver Charles, Wm. Cummings, Elijah Drake, Martin Johnson, John Lucas, Jonathan McMahan, Wm. Jacobs, Geor. Lane and Joel Mayberry..........

.......On November 22, 1807, the General Assembly passed an act entitled "An act to divide the County of White into two separate and distinct counties," thereby establishing Warren County, and in February, 1808, the new county was organized with following boundaries: "Beginning on Cumberland Mountains where the line of White County strikes the same; thence northwesterly with the said mountain to the Indian boundary line; thence along said line to the most eastwardly branch of Duck River; thence north to the east boundary of Rutherford County; thence with lines of Rutherford, Wilson, Smith and White Counties to the beginning." The territory of Warren was subsequently materially reduced by the formation of Franklin and Grundy Counties on the south in 1809 and 1844 respectively; Coffee and Cannon Counties in 1836, and De Kalb in 1837, leaving and area of only 440 square miles, and with boundaries as follows: "North by the Counties of De Kalb and White, east by Van Buren County, south by the Counties of Grundy and Coffee, and west by the Counties of Coffee and Cannon. During the first two years of the county's existence the courts were held at the house of Joseph Westmoreland, and in a log courthouse erected near there, on the east side of Barren Fork of Collins River, only a short distance from the present county site. In March, 1809, the county court appointed James Taylor, Thomas Matthews, Benjamin Lockhart, John Armstrong and James English as commissioners to locate a site for the permanent seat of justice, purchase the same, lay it off into town lots, and after selling them at public auction, let contracts for the erection of a courthouse and jail. The commissioners selected a site on the lands of Robert Cowan, .Joseph Colville and John A. Wilson on the north side of Barren Fork of Collins River, which land is described as follows: " Beginning at a stake near Dr. Wilson's improvement and running thence west 99 1/2 poles to a stake; thence south 66 poles to a stake; thence east 99 1/2 poles; thence north 66 poles to the beginning, containing 41 acres." The land was deeded to the commissioners August 4, 1810, for the consideration of $100, and later in that month McMinnville was laid off and the lots sold. Contracts were at once let for the erection of a brick courthouse and jail, both of which were completed the following year. The courthouse was a two-story building and stood in the center of the public square. It was torn down and the present building erected in 1858 at a cost of about $12,000. The building is a large, roomy structure, two stories in height, and stands to the left of the public square, the Iatter having been neatly fenced and converted into a park. A log jail was built near the log courthouse in 1808, and a brick one was built at McMinnville in 1810 upon the removal of the county site. A third jail was erected in 1839, and the present substantial stone and brick was erected in 1876, costing about $4,000...............................................

................................The county had a population of 5,725 in 1810, of 10,348 in 1820, of 16,210 in 1830, of 10,803 in 1840, of 10,179 in 1860, of 11,147 in 1860, of 12,714 in 1870, of 14,092 in 1880 and of 16,060 in 1886. There were 2,431 votes Gast in the county at the August election, 1886, of which 1,885 were for the Demoerntie nominees and 546 for tho Republican.

While the county is watered by numerous streams, several of which become at times too high for fording, there is not a single bridge of any consequenee in the county and not one built by the county. The eounty roads are improved to a certain extent, but not sufficient to prevent their becoming almost impassable during a few of the winter months. There is but one railroad in the county-the MeMinnville branch of the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway-which enters the eonnty near the Warren, Grundy and Coffee lines, passes in a northeast direction almost through the center of the county and out near where the Warren, White and Van Buren County lines come together, the length of the road in the county being thirty-four miles. The road was completed from Tullahoma to McMinnville in 1868 and to Sparta, in White County, in 1886.

The county court of Warren County was organized in March, 1808, at the house of Joseph Westmoreland, half a mile south of Barren Fork, where a log courthouse was afterward erected. Upon tho location of the county seat at McMinnville, the court was removed thereto. Tho early records of this court were destroyed during the late war, and but little or nothing can be learned of the proceedings or of the officers of the same. The same is true of the other courts. The following is an incomplete list of the officers of this court:

Chairmen-Since 1860 the chairmen of tho county court have been in the order given, Philip Hoodenpyle, Thomas Mabry, John Smith, Philip Hoodenpyle, Thomas S. Meyers, S. D. Walling, John Smith, John S. Meyers, W. B. Smartt, S. C. Norwood, John Smith, John W. Ford, J. L. Miller, J. W. Gales, I. B. Neal, S. J. Walling, John R. Parker and J. C. Meyers, the present incumbent.

Clerks-Joseph Colville, from 1808 to 1836; then in the order given: Wm. Edmondson, Wm. Armstrong, Wm. Lusk, Richard MeGregor, J. F. Morford, A. R. Hammer, Samuel Henderson, J. H. Roberson, S. Henderson, J. H. Roberson, A. H. Gross and W. L. Swann, the present incumbent.

The circuit court was organized with the county, but as to the early officers nothing can be learned, save that Pleasant Henderson was probably the first clerk. Since 1865 the clerks have been S. C. Norwood, John J. Lowery and A. J. Curl, the present incumbent...............................................
