Ezekiel WATERS 1805 - Blount Co., TN. Ezekiel WATERS, can be found on the "Tax Records" of Blount Co., in the year of 1805. [REF: #24 (Blount Co. formed from Knox County, Tenn. in 1795..prs) Later in 1810, he can be found in the Third Federal Population Census for Knox Co., Kentucky, along with his two brothers. [REF: #28 (Knox Co. Kentucky was formed from Lincoln Co. in 1799. Knox Co. is located at the Southeastern part of Kentucky, North of the "Cumberland River", which is one county North of the Tennessee State boundary line...prs) In 1820, Ezekiel WATERS, signed a Petition in "Roane County", Tennessee. [REF: #24 (Roane Co. was formed from Knox Co., Tenn. in 1801) The exact date of Ezekiel & NANCY (MANESS) WATERS moving to Sevier County, Tennessee (Sevier Co. formed from Jefferson Co. in 1794) from Roane Co., TN. has not been demonstrated. The oldest child and 1st. daughter REBECCA WATERS, in the 1850 Census listed as being born 1806 in Tenn, which narrows down the time of leaving NC. before 1806 and being in Blount Co., TN. to the 1810 Census. The 2nd. child, 2nd Daughter FRANCIS "Fannie" (WATERS) HAGGARD, SARRETT, listed birthplace b. 1812 as the following: 1850, Tenn.; 1860, Kentucky; 1870, Kentucky; 1880, Tenn. and "Unknown" for her parents. This is not consistent. The 3rd. child, 3rd. Daughter NANCY (WATERS) THOMAS, list her birthplace b. 1814 as the following: 1850, Tenn.; 1860, Tenn.; 1870, Tenn.; 1880, Tenn.; 1900, Tenn.; The 4th child ROYAL WATERS, in the 1850 Census list he was born 1821, in North Carolina, which is not consistent with being in Roane Co., TN in 1821. The youngest daughter ELIZABETH WATERS was listed as being born in Tenn. This would confirm them in Tennessee, prior to 1825. FIRST RECORD IN SEVIER Co., TENNESSEE: 1830 We can find Ezekiel (46 yrs) & wife NANCY (MANESS) 43 yrs. WATERS listed in the 1830 Census 3 , for Sevier County, Tenn.

It is the opinion of this writer that Ezekiel WATERS, Jr. was born in the Caswell County, North Carolina and is a descendent of the WATERS of Northampton, Virginia...although total proof, has not been documented.... the search is still on. See Biographical Profile of the Waters Family in this Section...prs Another story [REF: #42] that has been told of the WATERS FAMILY by Irene (Douglas) Ingle, Daughter of "Bettie" (Sarrett) Douglas, GrandDaughter of "Fanny" (Waters) Haggard Sarrett, is that her GrandMother was 1/4 Cherokee Indian. This would mean that one of either Ezekiel Waters or Nancy (Maness/Manis) Waters. One parent was a "Full-Blooded Cherokee Indian", which has NOT been documented by this writer. Another descendent of the Waters Family verified this Indian connection and said some of our (Indian "Waters") people had gone to the Oklahoma Indian Reservation in Oklahoma on the "Trail of Tears".
This writer has not found any record of Marriage, or determine the names or location of NANCY (MANIS/MANESS) WATERS parents. Their were NO MANIS/MANES listed in the 1784 State Census or the 1790 Federal Census of Caswell Co., N.C....the search is still on...prs
