  	The online file lists Edward’s date of birth as 16 Dec 1783 and lists Mary's date of birth as 14 July 1793. Notes indicate Mary was buried in the Hibbett Cemetery, Macon County, Tennessee. The children are from his file. The name is spelled variously as Hibbitt and Hibbett. This file also lists Mary as the daughter of James Hibbett and Sarah Crawford, however, the Smith County, deed cited under Henry Featherston shows her father to have been David C. Hibbitt. Edward Featherston is listed three times in a compendium of Tennesseeans in the War of 1812; as 3rd Sgt under Col. William Hall and Capt. W. L. Alexander, Volunteer Infantry, as Sgt. Under Col. Edward Bradley and Capt. William Lauderdale, and as Pvt. of Volunteer “Mounted Gunmen” (Dragoons) under Col. T.Williams and Capt. N.Metcalf. Edward Featherston is listed in Gibson County, Tennessee, age 66 and born in Virginia, in the 1850 Census with his children, but not his wife. Stout, Joe W.
