McNamara" <knox@tngenweb.org> Subject: Re: FRENCH, CARRICK, CROZIER, WHITE, or LAWSON Pat -- have you got a copy of the history of the Lebanon in the Forks Presbyterian Church? That cemetery is full of your ancestors/collateral kin. I'm proofreading the scanned text so we can get it on-line. Unfortunately, we can't include the cemetery transcription, since it's still copyrighted. But, Dr. Ramsey's long departed, so his text is fair game <g>..... You might also contact Robert McGinnis, who is director of James White's Fort in Knoxville. Robert has been at this for many years. He's also a White and McClung descendant -- along with about half the pioneer Knox County families! Some years back, I corresponded with a man who was tracking a White family that was NOT descended from James White. They were related, though, if my rusty memory is right. These people ended up in Nashville and made a pretty strong settlement there -- he'd found a lot of records. Wish I could remember more!

The other book is listed in the bibliography that Rose-Anne put on-line. It's called _Community_Historical_Sketches_in_Knox_County,_Tennessee:__Corryton,_Harbiso n's_Cross_Roads,_Smithwood_. It was a limited run, printed by the Knox County Library in 1958. It sounds very much like something her students would have done (bless them!). I have looking at it at McClung on my to-do list....

I would be interested in your >Roth neighbors. I think there was one line of Roths which came from >Steinbach and Haueneberstein, Baden, Germany in the middle 1800's. I am ashamed to tell you I can't remember the husband's name or address of the Roth family I lived near years ago! I haven't had contact with them since the wife's mother died, and that was about 10 years ago. Her mother was a good friend of mine, but I only saw her kids when they stopped by to visit while I was there. Isn't that dreadful? Have you checked the McClung Collection's vertical files to see if they have anything on the Roths?

For all these years, I've been under the impression that all the Frosts were descended from one pioneer family!
>Thanks for the Baker lead! You'll notice that our co-host, Mizz Rose-Anne, also has some of them thar Bakers in her ancestry -- in just a short time, we've got lots of overlaps on this list already! ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 05 Dec 1999 10:50:05 -0800 From: "Billie R.

I don't use digest mode for lists, so I don't always think about it. But, here goes: TO: majordomo@rootsquest.com BODY: unsubscribe knoxcotn subscribe knoxcotn-digest end Please don't be alarmed if you don't get a digest for a few days. If the list is relatively inactive for a period of time, which all lists sometimes are, a digest may not generate.

It seems we've got to get some folks with south and west Knox County interests to balance things out here! Maybe they're among the subscribers who haven't said "hi" yet. <g> It also looks like we've got some overlapping surname interests here once again! Thanks for the offer to do look-ups from the Atchley book -- it's that kind of genealogical kindness that makes research fun!
