---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 01 Dec 1999 17:40:35 -0600 From: Patricia Graves Reagan <pgreagan@execpc.com> Subject: Lets get the party started I am from Knoxville.I am from the south side of Knoxville and graduated from good old Young High School, class of 1959.Some of our best football game was with Central. I now live in Neenah Wisconsin for the last 35 years. I two have been blessed with great research in the Graves line. John Sebastian Graves (Graves) is 9th grandfather and three of his children are of my line. John and Sarah Sharp, Sebastian Graves and Sarah Effland, Barbara Graves and Henry Sharp. Now the females lines I have not been so lucky at. Thomas Hall and his wife Nancy Hayes, Michael Fraker, Peter Kitts, Margaret Severs or Sevier,and it covers Claiborne, Grainger, Anderson, Union and Knox , most of these name are about the time Tennessee became a state. Its good to be home again if only in my dreams. I am not just interested in names and dates. I want some history.I would l would like to know if a book has been written on Ft. Sanders Hospital. Young High School history, Founders and history of Sharps Chapel, Halls Crossroads,Highland Memorial Cemetery, More about those early settlers that settle the land like the Graves, in Graverson, Sharps, Gibbs, Albrights, and some of the others that came from Orange County NC. in the 1790s and 1800. Thanks Pat Graves Reagan ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 1 Dec 1999 19:07:25 EST From: CKey558122@aol.com Subject: Re: Let's get this party started Hi, I didn't realize this list was new, thought I had just overlooked it. I retired 3 yrs ago from Bellsouth and have just been "researching my roots" for about a year. I regret not getting interested in it while my father was still alive, he had a wonderful memory and I know would have been a great help. I have already benefited greatly from my search. I have developed very close relationships with 3 of my first cousins whom I barely knew since childhood. I managed to get them interested and now we are all "addicted". I have also met several "cousins" online and a few in person whom I never knew existed. It is really weird how we are all about the same age and all just getting interested in genealogy at the same time. The Knox Co. lines I am researching are: BROWN, WOOD, CATE, McCLAIN and FRAKER, with collateral lines ATCHLEY, RIDDLE, COFFMAN, HALL, McCLOUD, RENFRO, TUNNELL, WILHITE. Some of the collateral lines are developed and some not. Though Knox Co. is the main location, these families were also found in Anderson, Jefferson and Greene counties. My brick wall is John Brown b. 1799 NC m. Sarah Wood 1825 Knox Co. Sarah was the daughter of Joseph Wood and Sarah McClain. Cannot find out who John's parents were. Suspect that he had brothers named Maxwell, Clement and William, they are at the same locations at the same time but not confirmed their relationship to John. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated.

You're right about East Tennessee being one of the most beautiful places on earth. Every time I've moved away, I've absolutely pined to get back home -- and paid Delta a fortune to make sure I did at least every couple of months! I dunno about the Vols -- I'm a Carson-Newman fan myself....<g> You sure do have some early Knox County surnames. Maybe there's a strong connection between the ones that stayed here and yours that moved on. The Browns have always been one of Knoxville's finer families. Are your Wrights the ones the ferry was named for? We've got Walkers everywhere -- there are even separate discussion lists for some of the more prolific branches!!! I'm not familiar with your Paul or Hay(e)s surnames -- I'll keep an eye out for them, though! You may not be aware of it, but Fentress and Overton Counties were heavily settled by people who seem to have migrated in groups. I call them "turnstile" counties because so many people passed through there on their way west (even if it was only as far west as Middle Tennessee).

My mother was a Steadman. She died in 1961 at Erie, PA. Having a tough time tracing the history of Oliver STEADMAN, often listed as Perry STEADMAN. I know he was in TN and that his son Henry moved back to Crawford Co., PA. I believe that Effie Steadman mar. a John Hall in TN.

They spoke to Ms. Nancy Latimer. (24 Oct 1994). They requested any possible information on "Grandpa" Steadman who died there at some time between 1958 and 1961. On 25 Oct 1994, Ms. Latimer called and said she had found the records: Henry Steadman was admitted on Nov 21, 1957 and died Dec 8, 1957. There were two numbers. Entry #74 and State No.193335. He was a widower and was born in Crawford County, PA. His last residence was in Erie. He had been a laborer, and he had a pension from Metric and S SAN. The cause of entry was arteriosclerotic heart disease and cardiac failure. ====================== From Kathy Brubaker:- They are all listed in the same reference, so I'll transcribe it for you here: on page 940, in the biographical sketch section for Randolph Township: "Henry P. Steadman, farmer, P.O. Guys Mills, was born in Rome Township, this county, December 18, 1863; son of Perry and Esther (Baldwin) Steadman, the former of whom was born in East Fallowfield Township, this county, May 31, 1829; the latter in New York State, March 2, 1831. They were married July 28, 1849, and had a family of ten children, six of whom are now living, viz: Alvah D., Catherine N., Cyrus W., Mary E., Henry P. and Effie K. Our subject received a common school education. During the winter seasons for several years he worked in a saw-mill. In the spring of 1884 he rented a farm of fifty acres and began life for himself. Mr. Steadman was married October 4, 1880, to Miss Mary GRINNELL, a native of Crawford County, Penn., born September 7, 1863, daughter of Morris B. and Maggie (Airnes) GRINNELL, early settlers of Greenwood Township, this county, both now deceased. To this union were born two children: Jeptha and Maggie. Our subject is an industrious young man, and is destined to be a successful farmer. He is a member of the United Brethren Church. Politically, he is a Republican." Hope this helps! Kathy Brubaker Volunteer Genealogist Linesville Historical Society kbrhkr@toolcity.net SECOND GENERATION 2.
