    BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
    Benjamin lived primarily in the Holmes Creek area of DeKalb Co,TN which was formed l837 from Cannon, Jackson,Smith,White & Warren Cos. Cannon Co, TN was only formed in l836, and the part that later became DeKalb was primarily in Warren before that date. The Caney Fork River flows through DeKalb Co, and Holmes Creek where Benjamin resided flows into the Caney Fork, NW of Smithville. When DeKalb was established the Smith & Warren Co,TN line cut across Holmes Creek. Today Holmes Creek lies under Center Hill Lake.
    --------------
    Birth Date Determination
    --In 1820 Census he is listed 26-45 which makes him born between 1775 & 1794. --In 1830 Census he is 40-50 which makes him born 1780-1790
    --By 1808 he is still not listed on fathers tax list as 16 or over & this would make him born after 1792 (This can be explained as men were not likely to go to Court House and report that their son had turned 16, and probably would not report unless tax collector asked.)(His father, Joseph had married Barbaray Parkeson June 15, 1790)

    Therefore I SUSPECT that Benjamin was born late probably in 1791.

    INTERESTING OBSERVATIONS REGARDING WILL OF BENJAMIN
    (From Research of Mitch Jones)

    Benjamin's will names all of his living children, and it appears to name them per male and female in the order of their birth. The will also indicates that Jemima was his second wife, and that Joseph, Alexander, and Benjamin were children of his first wife.

    Another interesting item about Benjamin's will is the part where he leaves his farm to his wife Gemima as long as she remains unwed, but if she marries again she is to get only a child's part. Benjamin was really protecting his wife. During that time period, if a woman married, all her property became her husband's. He could do with the property as he pleased

    Benjamin and John Atnip were granted 200 acres of land on Pine Creek in DeKalb County. This grant is very important as it helps us establish family relationship in the Atnip family. This land was sold on 10 Feb 1845 to Joseph Atnip. The deed was from John Atnip of Johnson Co., IL, to Joseph Atnip of DeKalb Co., TN. John states that the 200 acres was entered jointly between Benjamin Atnip my brother and myself. The deed was witnessed in Johnson County by Abraham and John McGinnis.
