• Notes

  David "Stiff" Costner and most of his children moved to Blount County, Tennessee 1828-1831 (evidenced by marriage of daughter Mary Ann in 1828 in Lincoln County, and Rachael in 1831 Blount County). This included a migration of other well known Lincoln families also that traveled together - Costners, Bests, Carpenters and Huffstetlers. Many of these families intermarried and remained in Blount Count. One of David "Stiff" Costner's younger daughters married Harley B.B. Huffstetler (formerly from Lincoln County, North Carolina) in 1831 in Blount County, Tennessee. They moved back to Lincoln County, North Carolina with her father and mother about 1834 and remained until 1839 when he sold land inherited from his father and returned to Blount County, Tennessee. Document records from family bibles of the Tennessee Costner women show that David "Stiff" Costner was born February 8, 1774, died November 28, 1840. This is also documented by correspondence by Faryl I. Fleming in her Huffstetler Book published in 1992.
