Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Information on Stinnett, Yearout, Romine families

Looking for any information on either of the families in the subject line.

Edna Yearout Stinnett listed in the knoxville, TN City Directory in 1919 as

the widow of James Stinnett, listed 1920 as the widow of William Stinnett.

James was listed as a driver in 1917, what would he have been driving in that

year? I do have a family story of one of Edna's sons, Calvin (Yearout,

Stinnett?) killing a man on the city bus of knoxville, Tennessee. Could this

have been what James was driving this early in the century?

Edna Yearout Stinnett had a daughter named Lily who married Arthur

Romine. I have yet to locate a marraige record for her, does anyone have

resources to locate this for me, or perhaps steer me in the right direction?

Any HELP, hints or clues will be greatly appreciated. I live in NC, but

have been to Knoxville several times in search of info.

Thanks so much, Elizabeth

Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Kick-starting our list <vbg>

OK, the holidays are over. Our computers survived. If you're not out in

the yard working cuz it's been near 70 in East Tennessee the past couple of

days, you've got genealogy work to do!

I don't care for the "roll call" method of waking up a quiet list -- not

everyone will respond, and it can be redundant. But, I do like to present

challenges <g>.

Here's this week's:

Send the list brief (less than 200 words, please) details of your worst

Knox County-related genealogy problem. Explain what research you've done

and what your brick wall is/are. Let's see if someone on the list can

suggest possible ways to help you over the hurdle!

Be sure to use a good subject line -- not just "my problem" <wink>.

Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Please send prayers to Mississippi!

I just got a quick phone call from Rose-Anne Cunningham-Bray. There's a

tornado moving at 40 mph across Mississippi, expected to barrel through the

area where she works and the next county over where she lives.

Please pray for the safety of her and the other area residents.

Subject: [KnoxCoTN] McCombs research brickwall

Maybe we should make that "less than a book chapter" in size <g>. I didn't

realize how much space it takes up to explain some problems! Here's mine:

Robert and Patience McCombs lived in East Knox County by 1850. In 1860,

they lived in District 2, which was southeast of Knoxville-city. Their

neighbors were Fords, Newkirchners, and others that make you think they

lived south of the Tennessee River, between Asbury and John Sevier's

home. I haven't worked out the exact spot yet.

In 1818, Robert appeared in court as a witness in the probate of William

Monday, Sr. In 1822, he served as Road Overseer in place of Jesse Simpson

"from the ferry at north of French Broad to top of hill(?) of

schoolhouse. Landowners on the road were George McNutt, James McNutt,

Joseph Lowe, Hiram Harris. It was extended to include a portion of road

formerly supervised by William Adkinson, which ended at the Main Stage Road

and included Lt. Col. Williams' land and General White's old plantation.

Robert McCombs was born circa 1770-73 in Pennsylvania. He was a shoemaker,

who did not own property in 1860. He was blind then. He died before

January 1, 1861, when the Knox County Court reimbursed a man for burying

him as a pauper.

Robert's wife, Patience, was born in North Carolina circa 1790. Living

with them in 1860 was their son, Robert Jr., aged 27, born in Tennessee and

also a shoemaker. Others in the household were Polly Allison, age 60, born

North Carolina, and Jane Allison, age 18, born Tennessee. Could this be a

younger sister and niece of Patience?

Two of Robert's and Patience's daughters, Elizabeth and Rachel, married

McCall brothers (James and Henry, respectively) in 1851-52. They also

lived in East Knox County. The 1850 census also shows a daughter, Mary,

whom I know nothing about. I also have no idea what became of son Robert, Jr.

**A** Robert McCombs was involved in a lawsuit in Hamilton District Court

in 1793-1794, suing for a debt someone owed him. A Robert McCombs was in

Sevier County and Knox County in 1840, but only the Knox County family fit

what I know of my ancestors. In 1820, a Robert McComb was taxed in

Mecklenburg Co., NC. Many of his neighbors in East Knoxville came from

Mecklenburg area.

A Robert McCombs was a Rev. War patriot from Mercer County, PA. I haven't

done much research on him to determine if he was my ancestor's father.
