In May 1836 Joseph Simpson helped organize the county court in Woodbury, the county seat. Woodbury was formerly Danville and belonged to Warren County. It was named for Hon. Levi Woodbury of New Hampshire. Nearly all settlers in this area came from North Carolina and Virginia, according to the 1850 census, by way of east TN. They were nearly all Scotch-Irish and English. Most people living there in 1882 were descendants of the early settlers. Until 1805 land east of Woodbury belonged to Cherokee Indians and was inhospitable to settlement. Brawley's Fork early settlers included names such as Shelton & Simpson. Carson Fork had a Simpson, Tenpenny and Thomas.
The Northwest section was from Dividing Ridge to the Wilson Co. line and east to the headwaters of Sycamore Crk. By 1822 a newly established church at Poplar Stand had an Odom and Owen among the 94 members. The North-central section had a Campbell and Owen among early settlers. It was more rugged. By 1810 to 1815 settlers came in large numbers, taking grants of land signed by Governor Wilie Blount.
The first settler of Woodbury was John Wood from Maryland in 1809. He came by way of North Carolina. Some names of settlers there in 1836 connected to Odom families later were Orrand, Owen, and Ward. Cannon County was named for Newton Cannon who was then governor of Tenn.
