It's just about a mile form the Old Peters Mill (My G-Grandfather mill On Tuckahoe Creek) just across from Newmans landing where Russell Newman's grandfather owned and lived nearby. The Bowmans (ca. 1800) lived nearby or next to SevenIslands. One of the Oldest Cemetery in the US/TN. is there at the Church. Dwight Stipes - ---------- > From: Billie R.

James and Eady had a son named Jesse, who married Hattie BOOKER. Hattie was a daughter of Lee BOOKER and Alice KELLY. Lee was a son of James BOOKER and Orlena CARDEN, Alice was a daughter of Campbell KELLEYand Emma MYNATT. Obviously, I know more about some of these than others. Does anyone have these families?
