Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Hill's Anyone

Hi List,

Is any one out there working on a Hill Family in Knox or surrounding

counties. I have a mystery grave for a Lucretia Hill April 22 1759 - October

22 1801. Here is the particulars of the grave site. Formerly located on

Emory Road in North Knox County. The cemetery was located on Emory Road near

the intersection with Bishop Road and was intact when copied in 1979. There

was only one grave marker on the site at the time and there was no additional

evidence of ohter marked or unmarked graves in the area. The cemetery was

destroyed in the late summer of 1989 and the land was leveled for the

building of Wilkerson Window Company. Property owners at the time denied any

knowledge of graves on the site. The stone that was copied did not appear to

have been an original marker as the style was not compatible to the type used

in the early 1800's. There is another cemetery located on land adjacent to

the property known as Booker-Hill Cemetery (B-40) that may contain relatives

of this burial. Also the Mitchell Cemetery on Springvale Lane (M-287)

contains Hill family graves. There are family plots on farms throughout this

valley known as Beaver Creek and within sight distance of Sharon Baptist

Church.

Help me solve this mystery, SOMEONE PLEASE!

Subject: [KnoxCoTN] For the Brown researchers (and others <g>)

Robert -- if I make a mistake, please correct me <g>.

Is anyone researching Doris Brown Yazlet, who lived in Park City and was

the librarian and photo-retouch lady for Miller's Department Store 50+

years ago?

Our own Robert McGinnis did some research for me when I discovered a

bookplate (http://www.public.usit.net/auctions/millerslib.jpg) that

indicated Miller's Department Store had had a lending library. I wanted to

know why this little tidbit wasn't in any of my Knoxville histories -- and

why Knoxville's available library history didn't seem to include

it. Someone at the McClung Historical Collection was able to provide the

details about Mrs. Yazlet, but now I'm curious about her and the library.

I'd be pleased if anyone has more info.

Subject: [KnoxCoTN] UK historic maps 1849-1899

Thanks to my good friend (and consummate researcher) Nicki Russler for

sharing this -- it is fantastic. It may be a little distant from the topic

of some lists, but it's still worth passing along anywhere people might

have had ancestors in Scotland, England, or Wales in the mid-to-late 19th

Century: http://www.old-maps.co.uk

They take a while to load unless you have a T1 or cable modem or DSL or

ISDN connection, but they're worth the wait.
