Notes for JAMES CALVIN OFFICER:
http://www.tngenweb.usit.com/white/goodsp6.htm

Richard Hill, a well known and influential citizen of Sparta, and president of the First National Bank of the town, is a native of White County, born in the Ninth Civil District February 24, 1839. He is the son of William and Isabella (Brown) Hill. His father was of Irish descent, and was born in Virginia about 1795, and died in White County August, 1840. Mr. Hill's mother's descent is not known. She was a native of Tennessee and born in 1812, and is still living, a resident of White County. Mr. Hill is the youngest of three children. In his youth he secured a limited education, and has been engaged in farming all his life. He frequently traded in live stock, and has made the raising of fine stock a specialty. In the fall of 1861 he entered the Confederate States service, joined Dibrell's cavalry, and followed this gallant soldier through the remainder of the war. He returned home and resumed the peaceful occupation of farming. He lost almost everything he had by the war, and was yet more embarrassed by reason of heavy security debts against him, but being a man of remarkable energy, in a few years he was again in prosperous circumstances. In March, 1885, a State bank was established at Sparta, and Mr. Hill was made vice-president. In January, 1877, the bank was changed to a national bank and the stock increased from $40,000 to $50,000, and Mr. Hill was elected president, in which he has a bank stock of $8,500. On June 3, 1869, he married Miss Martha J. Officer, an excellent lady, born in Overton County, Tenn., July 2, 1840. Her father, James C. Officer, was born in Overton County, October 21, 1808, and died in White County, October 22, 1868. Her mother, Leeann (Glenn) Officer was born in White County, January 14, 1813, and died in White County, November 1, 1868. Mr. Hill has two children -- one son and one daughter: Robert L., born July 10, 1871; Mertie, born March 11, 1873. Mr. Hill owns a farm of nearly 2,000 acres. He is not a member of any church, but is a man of good morals, and is in sympathy with the Christian Church, while his wife is a member of the Methodist Church South.

Hi Bill

That is interesting. Of course, the term 'niece' may not have been the
same as we interpret it today. But, it really bears looking at. Thanks
for the input.

I have been checking into Jefferson Officer here in Salt Lake. I found a
land grant to Jefferson Officer in Overton Co, on 27 Dec 1844. I found
a land record on 8 Sept 1847 where a Jefferson Officer buys land (from
James W. Officer of Overton Co) in Overton Co, TN and it says JB is from
Murray Co, GA. So, If this is your JB, he may have been born in GA
after all. Even tho the 1850 census says TN. So, these are more pieces
to the puzzle.

Also found one where Margaret Officer 'of White Co' (probably John's
widow) gets rid of land 'she used to live on' in Overton Co, this is in
1819 I think.

I made a copy of the 1850 census for J B Officer, 45 b. TN and Drucinda
50 b. NC, with Nancy 23,b. TN and Marion 12, b. GA (?? whos he?) in
the Fourth Civil District of Polk Co, TN. they seem to be the only
Officer family in Polk Co. If you want it, I'll send it over along with
the land records.

so, I keep diggin on various things. I have to dig some stuff for a
cousin in Cleveland, OH today. Guess I have so many brick walls, I have
to work on other stuff til I find something that magically appears.

Talk soon
