Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Re: knoxcotn- BROWNs

Hi all. My name's PJ Summers and I live in Washington state, researching my

family of BROWNs in Knoxville, Knox Co.

My gggrandfather was Thomas Lee BROWN, b 8 Oct 1819 or 1820 near Knoxville.

His parents were listed in old history texts and obit as Thomas Lee BROWN, b

abt 1795, place unk, and Mary CUNNYGIM or CUNNYGUM (could also be

CUNNINGHAM).

Thomas Lee, the son, married Drucilla CARSON, from Cocke Co, in 1840 and they

are shown there on census and tax lists until a birth of daughter Martha puts

them in Knoxville in 1847, and then in 1850 in Chattanooga. In 1860 these

BROWNs moved to Kansas. I am assuming there were other related families who

may well have remained in the Knoxville/Knox County area.

I'm just moving into this area of BROWN research, so have yet to begin

checking for records to verify dates and look for other links and clues.

Just wanted to throw this out to you all, in case we may have a connection or

a mutual interest. PJ (rottadee@aol.com)

Hi

I joined a couple of months ago. I grew up in Knox County in Halls. My

families are in Blount, Knox, Union, and Anderson Counties. Some surnames

are Hutchison, Turner, Taylor, Warwick, Grindstaff, Johnson, Oaks, Sharp,

Graves, McClain. Does anyone have an Isaac Hutchison (b. abt 1821 in

Tennessee, d. after 1870 probably in Knox Co.) or Elzira Amanda McClain (b.

abt 1850) in any of your lines?

Thanks

Diane

Hello:

I joined several months ago. I grew up in Knox County, attended Rule High

School, and worked for the Knoxville Journal. I now live in Savannah,

Georgia. My relatives and ancestors are mainly from Knox County. Their

surnames are Lones (also spelled Lonas), Cavett (also spelled Cavitt),

Gilson, Turner, McClellan, Gray, Sterling, Boley, Roehl, Case, and Peltier.

Joseph Lones and Nancy Cavett Lones are buried in Mars Hill Cemetery; other

family members are buried in Concord Masonic Cemetery and the Henry Lonas

Cemetery on Filmore Street in Westview.

I am particularly interested in confirming that Alexander Cavitt, Moses

Cavett, Richard Cavett, and Henry Lonas were soldiers in the Revolutionary

War. If anyone has any information that will help me on this issue, or any

other information on the above mentioned families, I would greatly appreciate

hearing from you.

Subject: [KnoxCoTN] My Introduction

My name is Pat Graves Reagan. I was born in Greensboro NC 1939 . I was

raised in Knoxville Tenn. Went to Young High school and graduated in

1959. I married Von Reagan another deep rooted Tennessee boy. Forty

years ago we moved to Neenah Wisconsin.We are both retired and plan to

remain here. You can take the Girl out of the South but the South never

gets out of the girl.

One of the best things about this list is Billie. She has that way of

making you feel at home even tho you are not there. I can almost see the

changing of the leaves, the town growing, and at times she has the gift

of taking you back into another place and another time. I feel more than

anyone else , she has the talent to turn memories into dreams and then

make dreams a reality.Here is my list of people. Hope someone can help

me but hope that I can also help someone else. The list is not complete

but here are the main ones.

John Sebastion Graff-Graves born 1703-1804 Germany -NC-TN. I do not

think I will ever be happy with the findings so I put him on my continue

to search for new clues.

John Sebastion Graves "Boston" and his wife Sarah Effland-

Pa.-NC-Va-Tenn. Have completed my direct line both female and male.

Henry Sharp and Barbara Graves- Germany? Pa.-NC.-Va.-TN. Have also

completed these lines but always open to more defiant proof

John Jacob Graves and turley Cobble - PA- NC. Completed my direct line.

 

 

Thomas Gillim and Winniford George_ need more on the line after William

and Mary Jarrett. Virginia -Tennessee.

Thomas Hall and Nancy Haze. Know back to NC. But would like more proof

as to the father of Thomas Hall and it is not the Jean Deal line in NC.

Would like more information on the Hayes line.

Zackery Hall and Nancy Nelson. Have nothing on the Nelson line.

Fraker Michial, would like more information on the Shipe line.

Monroe and Kitts line. Would like more information as to who the parents

of Robert Monroe and Roseanna Puckett.

Need Proof as to the parents of Margaret Severs and the Severs-Sevier

line about 1820.

I also have a problem with the whole line of Kitts. Knox, Grainger, I

have a same last name marriage Barbara Carolyn Kitts and William Kitts,

married 1872 in Union county . Have the female line completed but cannot

find out who William is or where he was from. For that matter three

months after marriage where he went.

Thats all I can think
