Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Outlook users need to know this now!

Thanks to CyberSnoop Mike Monahan for sending me this tech bulletin info.

If you use a Mac or a UNIX/Linus machine, hit delete now <g>.

If you use a PC, even if you don't use Outlook, it is probably installed on

your computer as a result of having Windows there. Someone might come

along one day and "borrow" your machine and use it. Either uninstall it or

keep it patched. If you do use Outlook or Outlook Express, keep it updated!

So, here's the scoop:

MicroSatan <g> has announced a patch that repairs security holes in Outlook

and Outlook Express. If you go here

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms00-043.asp you can

read about it.

If you need a half-gallon of Maalox to get through the info on that page,

go here http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/fq00-043.asp

Hi, Randy -- thanks for the introduction! Have you researched the history

of Cavett's Station?

Sounds like you've got lots of early, early Knox County pioneer

ancestors...and, you've got some overlaps with others on our list!

Subject: Re: [KnoxCoTN] My Introduction

Thanks, Pat -- that was terribly sweet <blushing>.

You went to school with my aunt's brother, the dashing YHS football star

Dickie Tipton...I think he's a wee bit older than you, though. And you

must've had my cousin, Miss Ruth Cate, as a teacher. She's still living,

and still VERY interested in local and family history.

Are your Graves the Graveston ones? If so, do you have some history of

that part of the county you could share?

Subject: Re: [KnoxCoTN] Intro

Hi, Donna! Thanks for the introduction. When I was in Wales a few weeks

ago, I found Crocketts in the record books. Someone at the archives who

overheard me say I was from Tennessee said, "You know, Davy Crockett's

ancestors were from here." I responded, "Yeah right" under my breath,

while smiling that southern belle smile we all do. Then he showed me! I

don't know if it was any connection to the East TN Crocketts, but they sure

were in Glamorgan!

Now -- let's talk about the Koontzes...write to me off the list so we can

compare notes!

Hi, Randy! Thanks for the introduction and the question about North

Carolina's involvement with Tennessee. I could go on for hours about

that...<g>

Here is a list of Knox County's "parent" entities before statehood:

- --Spanish crown (after de Soto and Pardo travelled through)

- --French crown (the French got as far as Nashville, but they claimed they

owned all the way to the Appalachian Mountains

- --Cherokee tribal government

- --A handful of other Native American tribes who claimed the area

- --Lord Granville's Claim (potentially) from the English crown

- --Western Lands of North Carolina

- --Washington County, North Carolina

- --Greene County, North Carolina

- --Hawkins County, North Carolina

- --Hawkins County, State of Franklin

- --Knox County, Territory of the US South of the River Ohio

- --Knox County, Tennessee

(I hope I got them all -- I'm doing this from memory!) The list is longer

for some of the other counties, like Hawkins and Unicoi, that formed late.
