The following is an excerpt of Spence's History of Hickman County, Tennessee, Chapter IV, The First District.
"Among the early magistrates of this district were William Craig, John McGill, Alexander Gray, John Gray, Washington Gray, and Troy S. Broome. The latter was born in North Carolina on February 22, 1806. He was a son of Jonathan Broome. In 1835 he married Mary E. Gannt, and after her death, he, in 1843, married Mary E. Sebastian, daughter of Dr. Samuel Sebastian. He was the father of John P. and Samuel T. Broome, and of a daughter, Sallie. One of the justly celebrated magistrates of this district was William G. Clagett, a man who never allowed his ideas of justice to be warped by any ironclad rules of law. As a magistrate and as a man, he was stern, but just. James D. Easley, J. A. Bates, Henry Gray, John B. Gardner, E. A. Dean, G. Fowlkes, John P. Broome, and others have been magistrates in this district."
