Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Walker surname

died in Knoxville in 1950. He was married to Lorena Christina Campbell.

They had 1 son and three daughters: Gerald Eugene, Carol Ann, Tondelea, and

Patricia Lee. Gerald was my father who died in 1990 in NC. My mother is

Lola Mae Walker. Anyone with any info on these names, please e-mail me at

Subject: [KnoxCoTN] D.ofA.???

I found some obits of some of my Brown and Douglas(s) ancestors! They

were tucked inside of a Bible.

W.O. DOUGLASS (died Feb. 5, 1936) says, in part, "He was a member of

First Baptist Church and was past councilor of Mayfield Council 204 of

Junior Order. For 11 years of Grace Council #1, D. of A.. ....The Junior

Order and D. of A. will furnish pallbearers and will have charge of

services at the grave.

The second is the brother-in-law of the above W.O. Douglass and is my

g-grandfather:

Emanuel Brown (died Apr. 28, 1955) says in part:" He was a member of

Thorngrove Baptist Church and Mayfield Council Junior Order #204.

Can anyone tell me what are (were) the Mayfield Council Junior Order and

the D. of A. are? (is D. of A. the "Daughters of America?)

Thanks, Linda

Subject: [KnoxCoTN] 1840 Knox co Census

I am new to the list and I am searching for FERGUSON's of Knox co, Tn.

Andrew Ferguson in particular. I stopped at the ETHS in Knoxville a few

weeks ago to look at the microfilm of the 1840 census, to try and determine

what part of the county this Andrew Ferguson was in. He is on pg 56 I

think. but when I found him, the heading of the census was listed as

'Eastern Tennessee', and up the left hand margin vertically was written,

'Knox Co,'. This indicates to me that more than one country was done at

this time. How will I determine where this Andrew Ferguson Lived? Is there

anyone on this list that is knowledgeable enough about families to know

where Pg 56 was located?

Thanks

Your best bet would be to check the deed books at the County Courthouse.

The 1840 Census doesn't give where the person lived other than perhaps the

town or post office

Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Searching for Will of SULSER

Hello Everyone;

I'm rather new to the list but hope all of you will tolerate a newcomer long

enough to answer a few questions for me. In a book titled "Index to Early

Tennessee Wills & Administrations" it has listed SULSER, Mathias, 1793, Will

Book 1 Page 9 Knox County Tennessee....I was rather excited to find this

because if the Will names his children I might have found my missing

link....(my heart goes pitter patter) Is there anyone that might like to

trade some courthouse time to do a look up for me? I'm close to Montgomery

County, or Pulaski County VA courthouses....maybe someone has a book that it

might be listed in?? I'm grasping for straws but I'm a desperate woman!!

(tee-hee) Thanks everyone for your time....
