Notes - The spelling of Douglas' middle name was originally Haden; however the spelling was changed to Hayden.
From 1820 to 1836 Douglas lived in Lawrenceburg, TN.
Douglas was sheriff while Sam Houston was governor.
Douglas was a merchant and landowner.
Is believed to be buried in a cemetery which has been destroyed.
From a search of the readily available genealogical records, the first recorded appearance of a Douglas Hayden Stockton was in Lawrence County, Tennessee where he recorded his marriage bond to Emily BUMPAS 18 September 1819. Archer Nail served as the bondsman. A license for marriage was issued the same day. Also, Douglas Hayden served as the bondsman for Archer Nail?s marriage bond to Rebecca Morrow that same day. Douglas Hayden Stockton and Emily BUMPAS were married 25 September 1819 in Lawrenceburg, Lawrence County, Tennessee by George Brown, Justice of the Peace.
Between 1820 and 1836, Douglas Hayden Stockton?s name appears numerous times in various official registers for Lawrence County. He was appointed by the county commissioners to oversee a section of "The Military Road" passing through the county, and to provide for the welfare of an orphaned boy. D. H. also bought and sold land and livestock and bought slaves.
All recorded in the county register.
D. H. Stockton was appointed Constable for Lawrence County by the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions Monday, April 1st, 1822. He was either appointed or elected sheriff of Lawrence County Tennessee some time around 1825 - 1826 (see Ref. below). His bond as sheriff was made to the then governor of Tennessee, one Samuel Houston in 1825. D. H. Stockton again made bond as Sheriff of Lawrence County for the 1829 and 1830 terms of office. His bond was recorded 16 Jan 1829.
During D. H.?s tenure as sheriff, David Crockett was practicing law in and around Lawrence County, Tennessee. So, it is probable that they new of each other. D. H. was still serving as sheriff in 1832 and possibly up until his death in 1836.
In addition to duties as sheriff, D.H. was a partner in a business in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee. Listed under "Private Acts of Lawrence County, Tennessee 1817-1900" - - "Acts of 1832, Chapter 18, Section 4: Established - Bumpas and Stockton Iron Ore." D. H. Stockton and Company payed (sp) the sum of $50 State Tax for a Merchants Retail License plus $1 Clerks Fee and $5 County Tax on 28 January 1830. This was "Authorzial (sp) to sell retail goods, wears and merchandise of foreign groth (sp) or manufacture at their store". D. H. , apparently, also owned several lots and other land. Ms. Mootie (CLEMMONS) Cherry indicates that her grandfather Douglas Hayden Stockton owned plantations in both Tennessee and Mississippi. Ardis (STOCKTON) Berry has a letter written to Emily (BUMPAS) Stockton dated 16 October 1841. This would have been shortly after she moved to Texas. The letter was from "A. Bumpas" (Augustine) one of Emily?s brothers still in Tennessee in which he says that he is winding up her business as fast as he can and is sending her the proceeds. He also mentions that he "expects to get a decree to sell the Land and Lots the 4th Monday in next month". So, there is no doubt that there was "real property" included in the estate of Douglas Hayden Stockton.
