                   Name also recorded as Seahorn.
John and Mary came from Oak Grove, Tenn. soon after marriage. In the early
1800s located at the south side of what is now the Cumberland Turnpike and some
2 1/2 miles west of the historic Standing Stone Monument (near Monterey, Tenn.)
There was an inn (hotel) known as the Sehon Inn or Standing Stone Inn.  The
Cumberland road (Walton Road) was the boundary line between Overton Co. and
White Co., Tenn.  Sehon Inn was on the South side of the road in White Co. but
the land records indicate that the 198 3/4 acre tract of land owned by the
Sehons was in Overton Co.  The remains of the Standing Stone is now in
Whittaker Park in Monterey.

The Sehorn land owned by Nicholas was located north of Valentine Seiver's land,
east of the north fork of the Shenandoah River and the main road cut through
one piece of property.  The land was very close to the present town of New
Market, Virginia.  John & Elizabeth were in Shenandoah Co. VA in 1784. They
established the Sehorn Ferry, east of Dandridge, Tenn.
