Unpublished Issue of Morristown, Tn. 1787-1936
Following Martin Stubblefield, Henry Counts became the most prominent citizen ofMorristown, especially in the ownership of estate and business. Very little isknown of the Counts family prior to their location in this section. From an old Family Bible it is learned that one, John Counts, married Elizabeth Armentrout. He died in 1777, and was the father of Nicholas Counts, whose will is recorded in the court House at Dandridge of date 2838, in which Nicholas Counts nameshis grandson Henry CCounts and Wm. Barton adminastrators. He bequethed the most of his belongings to his wife, Eve and small amounts to his son Henry and a daughter Mrs. Noe

After his marriage to Mary Stubblefield, Henry Counts and his wife lived in the Martin Stubblefield home untill he built a home on the lotadjoining, which was used as a tavern. This home was torn down to make way forthe railroad, and another home was built on the south side of the railroad tracks. This was known in later years as the Turley house, then as the Cain house.(It was burned in 1895) Henry Counts owned a large part of the land now consisting of the east end of Morristown. He tore down the old Martin Stubblefield house and used the logs in erecting a two story dwelling on the present Hight School, which he later traded to Dr. Crampton Harris for a farm west of Morristown.

Henry Counts lived to be a very old man, and in 1878 was found dead in a woodland on his farm. His wife survived him for many years. Mary Counts was a well known character, serving the community as midwife, nurse and charm doctor. Henry and wife Mary had only one child, named Betty Ann, who married Samuel Huffmaster. Samuel Huffmaster was of German descent, his father Gottlieb Huffmeister, who emigrated to America in 1776 and settled in Hawkins Co, Tn. in 1810. Hiswill is recorded in the Hawkins Co. Court House. Samuel Huffmaster built his home, a double log cabin, near a large spring south of the passanger depot. He engaged in various enterprises, also served on the first Board of Mayor and Alderman. He was a member of a stock company that built and operated a steam flour mill on the corner of Main and Mill Streets, also a machine shop and blacksmithshop. This was the first big enterprise of Morristown.
This Is Your Community
by Carson Brewer

Back In The First Half of the 1800's and perhaps later, the Methodists of Morristown, lifted their voices and sang:
"O. God my heart with love inflame,
That I may in Thy holy name,
Loud in songs of praise rejoice
While I have Breath to raise my voice,
Then will I shout, then will I sing,
And Make the heavenly arches ring.
I'll sing and shout for evermore,
On thateternal happy shore."

Among The Singers were pioneers Henry Counts and his wife, Mary Stubblefield Counts. They sang from a little hymnal entirely handwritten by Jacob Snyder of Rockingham Co, Va. He began writing it in 1805 and he called it "A Collection of Hymns Generally Sung by the Methodists."
The little hymnal, its pages yellowed and a bit tattered and the ink so faded that some words are not quite readable, is owned by Mrs. Joseph W. Jones. In 1873 Mrs. Counts presented the book to her great-grandson, S.L. Hoffmiester, who was Mrs. Jones' father

According to a peice written by Howard Hill for the Morristown;s Daily Gazzett-Mail in 1964, Henry Counts owned a large part of what is now the east end of Morristown. He was a very old man when he died in 1876, three yearsafter Mrs. Counts gave the old hymnal to their great-grandson. She lived on for many years and people affectionately called her "Aunt Mary" and sometimes "Granny Counts." She often searved as nurse and midwife in her community

John Counts of Cleveland
Sketch by Elihu Jasper Sutherland
Counts Reunion - 1953
John Counts was born about 1765 and died October 1, 1843, at Cleveland, Russell Co., Virginia, where he had lived for more than 55 years. For that reason and because there have been so many John Countses in Russell County, he is known as "John Counts of Cleveland." His parents were John and Mary Magdeline ? Counts, who moved from Shenandoah County, Virginia in 1789, and settled in Glade Hollow, Russell County, Va. For that reason his father is known among his descendants as "John Counts of Glade Hollow." The first known record of "John Counts of Cleveland" is found in the personal property tax lists for Shenandoah County for 1787, which reports him as a tithable over 21 years of age in the family of Jacob Raresnake, his brother-in-law. His name does not appear in any subsequent tax list for that county. He moved to Russell County during the same year, and the Russell County tax list shows a John Counts assessed as of 21 June 1787, the owner of one horse, and living in the Upper District. The one tithable listed in his family indicates that he was married and head of a family at that date. Russell County Entry Book No. 1, at page 23, gives this data: "1787, Nov 20 - John Counts enters 50 acres of land by part of warrant NO. 14803 dated Nov 9, 1787, lying and beginning at the Widow Lard's old place between that and the River, lying on both sides of a branch that runs into the river." This tract is included in the town of Cleveland on the south side of Clinch River. He probably established his first home in Russell County on this tract. One June 17, 1797, the Grand Jury presented: "A bill found against Obediah Payne for abusing John Counts and Robing said Counts of his papers and forging an order in the name of Frances Hines presented by the oath of John Counts." (L O B 1, p 103) The Grand Jury acted again on 26 June, 1791, with a "Presentment against Patrick Coye and John Counts for fishing and breaking the peace the 26th day of April, 1797." He was an enthusiastic follower of Nimrod the Hunter and roamed the mountain wilderness near his home year after year in search of game. That he was successful is shown by the County Court records, which reveal that he was allowed the following claims: 23 July 1793 - 12/6 (twelve shillings and 6 pence) for "killing one old wolfe;" and 28 October, 1798 - 25/6 for "killing two old wolves." Mr. Counts occasionally sat on the county juries, and only one civil case of record shows him as a party. At the June 1974 term of the County Court he was sued by George McCoy. The case was continued and tried 24 September 1794, the jury finding "that the defendant did not assume upon himself as in pleadings he (McCoy) hath alleged," and it was "considered by the court that the plaintiff take nothing by his Bill." McCoy's witnesses were Joseph Kiser, Edward Kelley, Abram Childris (Childress), William Smith, James Roberts, and John Craig. Counts' witnesses were Henry Willard, Joseph or James Hatfield, Luke Kelley, and John Damaron. On 1 October 1790, John Counts entered fifty acres of land "on north side of Clinch River adjoining the land of Cornelius Robt. Dec'd on his east line and on both sides of the path leading from sd. Roberts to Dumps Creek that crosses the low gap." However a marginal notation states "This entry void war'd Ass'd to Rich. Price." On 24 May 1800, "John Counts, Junr." entered "fifty acres of land by Virtue of part of a Land Office Treasury Warrant No. 2438, dated March 14, 1798, lying in Russell Co. on the south side of Clinch River Beginning at a walnut on the line of sd. Counts land and running up the River on the said line till about two poles below the mouth of Joseph McRenals Spring Branch then nearly a south course thence westward then to the Beginning." In March 1798, he purchased a ract of 165 acres from Richard and Lucy Price on Clinch River. This tract was on the north side of Clinch River, opposite his 50 acre entry in 1787, and is the tract on which he lived the latter part of his life. We are meeting today on this tract of land. His first residence on this tract stood near a bold limestone spring near the north end of the present bridge. Later this log house was moved up the hill about one hundred yards,John Counts of Cleveland Sketch by Elihu Jasper Sutherland Counts Reunion - 1953

On 11-20-1924, Mahala Kiser Sutherland recalled: "Uncle Jackie Counts
lived
just over the hill on Clinch. His wife Phoebe died first - suddenly.
She had
got out of bed one morning and was preparing breakfast. She was
fixing to
wash some meat and went to the fireplace to arrange the pot rack, when
Uncle
Jackie heard her fall. He ran to her but she was already dead. I
remember
seeing Canaan (her son) come over Granny Phoebe Sutherland, and he
said 'Ma is
dead.' Uncle Jackie was a small 'scrooched-up' man. He was a mighty
good and
honest man. He wore his beard cut short, was a farmer. Both belonged
to the
Baptist Church. He died of fever and Granny Phoebe Sutherland helped
wait on
him." Noah Sutherland remembered: "Grandpa Jackie Counts was the best
moral
teacher I ever had. He was good and kind ... and took pains with us
kids.
Grandma Counts was small." Both are buried on their farm in unmarked
graves.

The Roman Catholic influnce, a part of German history for centuries, vied with Lutherans and members of the Reformed Faith for support in government.
