In 1817 Benjamin Hagewood was one of the pioneers of Roane County who petitioned to retain district lines. In 1819 Benjamin Hagood petitioned for a road.
In 1830 census Benjamin is in Roane, Tennessee.
Benjamin and Mary moved from TN to Brookline, Greene Co., Missouri abt 1838, with or following her brother Lindsey Robertson who moved there in 1837.
Brookline is about ten miles west of Springfield, and is surrounded by a gently undulating and beautiful prairie.
In congressional township 28 of Brookline, the first settlers were Thomas Hazeltine, who came in about 1834, and settled on section 4; John McCall, of Tennessee, who came also to section 4; N. D. McCall, from Tennessee, to section 3; Joel Phillips, of Tennessee, to section 2; Wm. Herrington to section 9; Thomas Dodd, to section 7.

These settlers came in at different periods, from 1834 to 1849.
