A small town named Kings Mountain. I have several names and links I am in search of with the Knoxville area. My main search right now is my Stinnett line. Looking for anyone who knows of a James Stinnett who according to the Knoxville City Directory....In 1915 was living on Bluff Ave, occupation driver..in 1916 He was living at 1984 N. Broadway..Still a driver...in 1917, he was still on Broadway..Disapears after that year. Also have two of the Yearout clan I have not been able to locate. Both lived in Knoxville around the same time. One was named Calvin Yearout, born about 1870, married to an Mary Pendergraff. Calvin was listed as an ironworker. The other was Lemuel Yearout born 1865, married to Maggie Norris. Also searching for the link to Willaim Stinnett who married Harriet Yearout, 1849. Also have a lot more surnames from Tennessee in general. Eliz

Hi, my name is Terri Jurca, and I have been on the Knox Co.list for about eight months now. My brick wall is, and has been, the name of my 3x great grandfather Brown. He is the father of John N. Brown who married Sarah Wood in 1825, Knox Co. Sarah is the daughter of Joseph and Sarah McClain Wood , who came to Knox Co. from Randolph Co. N.C.~1803, prior to Sarah's birth in 1805. Dont Know when John came to Knox Co. but suspect his family was also from Randolph Co. N.C......dont know his siblings' names either. Sarah and John raised 11 children and possibly 12 , in the Powell area of north Knox Co. Dont know that I have an area of expertice except possibly the Brown's of Knox Co. as I think I have looked at and researched every Brown family in the county hunting for a clue as to who John"s father was !!! Also researching the collateral families of Renfro, McCloud, Hunter, Tillery, Fraker, Coffman, and Gilpin.( If anyone Knows anything about the Samuel Gilpin familiy with daughter Martha that married John C. Brown, and Son Armsted that married Sarah J. Coffman , I would love to have information on them ) Also the Oggs and Gaults. Willing to share information with anyone working on any of these lines. Terri Brown Jurca http://community.webtv.net/TeddyB_52/TerrisSearchPage ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2000 21:24:12 EDT From: Ltfarmgirl@aol.com Subject: [KnoxCoTN] My Introduction I am interested in Knox County for only one surname: KNOTT. My husband's great-grandparents, Jesse and Ellen Knott, immigrated from Forsyth Cty NC circa 1880. Ellen died bet. 1910 & 1920 in, I believe, Knoxville. Jesse died in 1932 at his son's home in Abington VA, but his death certificate says he was buried in Knoxville. We would be forever grateful if someone located their graves (my husband remembers visiting there with his parents, but he was only about 10 years old, so he doesn't have a clue where they went). The funeral home in Abington wasn't any help. Also, Jesse and Ellen had about nine children; the only line we can trace is Robert Lee (my husband's paternal grandfather) who moved to Bristol and then Abington. When Robert Lee died in 1943, his obituary stated that there were two siblings living: Zeb was in San Francisco and Dollie Bernard was in Ohio. I live in Prince George County, Virginia; am interested in Prince George, Surry, and Sussex Counties; also work with Petersburg, Richmond, and Staunton. I noticed that someone is an expert on German genealogy. I have just started pursuing the German roots of Frank Prufer, a bookbinder from Leipsig, who immigrated in 1852 to New York, married Caroline Fielding, and moved to Staunton, Virginia, to teach bookbinding. If the German expert has any suggestions, I would appreciate them! That's all for now. Pattie Arwood ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2000 21:43:40 -0700 From: "Billie R.

Since you are a McClung regular, and I know we have people on the list who aren't familiar with what's there, would you consider writing a few motivational paragraphs?

My husbands gggrandmother was a widow when she married his gggrandfather. Her name was Sarah Scantling when she married James Guffey, she was a widow with children. The one child I have found was born 25 Mar 1811 in Knoxville Tn. Her name was Mary Little Scantling. By 1820 Sarah is a widow and living in Indiana. Mary Little eventually married Patterson C. Parker, they moved to Oregon and her tombstone is where it states she was born in Knoxville. It is also said that Mary's fathers name was Samuel. I have made many inquiries but the only Samuel found in Tn was later in the 1800's. Mary Guffey ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2000 23:12:53 -0500 From: "Jeanne M. Bornefeld" <jeanneb@fwi.com> Subject: Re: [KnoxCoTN] My Introduction Hi, I am Jeanne Marie Gebhardt Bornefeld, mostly German, then in the same amount - American Indian, Scot and French and then English. I have quite a time trying to get into the minds of the English. That, of course is the only line I have not been able to continue, Hawkins of Roane and Anderson and Knox Cos. My people are mostly from the Black Forest. If I were you I would bring up familysearch.org. This is the Morman sight. They have microfilmed all over the world where they were allowed to do so. Sometimes, I understand, they did not microfilm all the records in a particular locality, so what they list for records may not be complete, but a very good start. First of all, you need to understand the history of the particular place you are looking at in Germany and understand Germany as we see it today has only been in it's form about a hundred years with no stability we as genealogists appreciate. There were wars, boundary changes, more wars and more boundary changes. For instance part of the Rheinland belonged to the Netherlands, so where would you imagine those people thought they were from? You get the idea. Now I took the liberty to take a look at your Frank Prufer. There is a Frank Pruffer, b 13 May 1820 in Leipzig, Leipzig, Sachsen. The reference is patron sheets. If this looks like a good prospect, I would order the patron sheets and take a look. After that order the actual microfilm from Leipzig, Sachsen and reconstruct the village or town to better understand the interrelationships of the people living there, usually this is the best way to avoid making a mistake, and you may be able to go back many generations, depending on the history and circumstances...
