Did you also know that Chanaberry, Albright, and Qualls were in Jefferson County? I found a commemmorative plate from Clapp's Chapel Baptist Church in my mama's shop inventory a while back -- write to me personally if you'd like to know more about it. The book was done in the 1950's and discusses the settlement of the area around Fountain City. John Adair owned a lot of land there. It will take me a while to get it all scanned and the text converted. As far as I know, the book is out of print.
>Of course my direct Knox County lines have links to Jefferson, Roane, >Sevier etc. including RIDDLE, VanHOOZER, MORT, FRENCH in Jefferson County. Looks like we've got a lot of kinship developing on this list! Riddle and French have appeared already.

I know exactly which family you're talking about! >Any cousins out there? Not me, but I'll certainly keep my eye out for you.... ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 02 Dec 1999 19:07:52 -0800 From: "Billie R.

Looks like we're gonna have to have lunch at Litton's before long so we can all meet face-to-face! Which of our subscribers is your daughter? I hope people don't tire of hearing me mention Jefferson County -- it's what I know best -- but I wonder if your Elizabeth is related to the huge clump of Franklins that settled here?

City Book Billie and all, I have the John Adair Section book by Miss Nannie Hicks, but not the second one. Is the one you are referring to compiled by Miss Hicks' history students at Central High? I have seen that one at McClung. I have a booklet entitiled A History of Halls (Crossroads) written in 1985. The Lusbys (my line) and Luttrells (my husband's line) that you grew up with in East Knox Co. are probably distant cousins. There was only one line each in Knox Co. for these families. 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. No, my husband's Frost line is not connected to Macajah Frost or the Frosts of Anderson Co., TN. His Jonas Frost, born ca 1774, came from Johnston Co., NC to Grainger, then northeast Knox Co., where he married Nancy Hall in 1809. Jonas was the son of Capt. James and Isabella Van Dyke Frost of PA and Johnston Co., NC. Thanks for the Baker lead!

I am Mildred Claiborne Norman's daughter and I inherited the genealogy gene from her. We are also Jefferson Co. researchers (my father's lines) with the surnames LANE (John J. b. 1825, whom I haven't been able to connect to Rev. Tidence), FOLAND, GRANT, HINKLE (George and Elizabeth), and SMITH.

I grew up in Loveland (close to Spring Place) but attended Central High in Ftn City. Central High was the closest county high school so for those that know the area, that gives a clue to my age, doesn't it? I have just started researching my husbands lines of Harrington and Nicely in the Four Way Inn area and would appreciate any info. I think someone mentioned Atchley. I descend from the Sevier County Atchley's but have the Atchley Family History book should anyone need a lookup in this book. It does have some Knox County Atchley's in it. I also descend from Maples, King, Walker, Myers in Sevier County. Am especially interested in any and all Maples information in any location.

She was my history teacher at CHS in 1954 back in the days when I hated history and was also my next neighbor down the hill on Colonial Circle. She lived with her sister and brother in law, the Haglers. Mrs. Hagler taught me elementary school music at Ftn City Grammar School. I lived in the gray stucco house at the top of the hill across from the playground. It was from her book that I found out about my gg grandfather that planted the cedar trees.

Gladys, You said you had the book "Atchley Family History". I would love to know if there is anything on Gideon Augustus Atchley, William Atchley who m. Anna W. Bowers, or Isaac Atchley. I have alot of dates on them and most of their children, but would love to know any info about them that would make them seem more real, if there is anything in there on any of them. Don't know if anyone else is interested or not, if you prefer e-mail me directly. I would really appreciate your time. Everyone seems so willing to be helpful. I have the "Goodspeed's History of Knox Co., TN'" and would be willing to look up names for others also.
