Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Knox Welsh Society - new info for several counties on-line

Last week, I announced that the Knoxville Welsh Society's Web site was

"live" at http://www.korrnet.org/welsh/

If you have East Tennessee connections, whether or not they are

specifically Welsh, you may want to check out all the new information that

we've added. Despite the fact that the organization's name seems to limit

its scope, the Knoxville Welsh Society serves Welsh expatriates and

immigrant-descendants in all 35 East Tennessee Counties.

For instance, there's a short history of the first Welsh settlement in East

Tennessee, which straddled Scott and Morgan Counties. There's a discussion

of the Coal Creek War and two mine disasters in Anderson County. There's a

bit about the coal mining industry, which was important in much of East

Tennessee. There's a discussion of the Welsh settlements and coal mining

in Chattanooga and Soddy (Hamilton County).

In addition, there's a section on Welsh names and the patronymic naming

system. We also have transcribed and uploaded several essays with photos

and maps. The regional calendar of events has been updated, and the

recommended reading list has new items.

If you have information that you'd like to share, please e-mail KWS from

the link on the pages.

We hope you enjoy your visit with us. Be sure to leave a query on the

message board on your way out.

Thanks Billie! Great Site. I even found a few "John Kelly's" in Knox

County. And ordering was easy!

Subject: [KnoxCoTN] About list messages

A couple of people have asked in the past few days why so many messages

have Billie's name on them. The short answer is that she scans other lists

and websites for info that might be important to subscribers here. In

order to forward it to the list, she has to generate a message. So, it

looks like she's hogging the list. That isn't her intention, and we hope

you'll understand why it looks that way.

Some of you are changing your e-mail addresses and need to

unsubscribe/resubscribe. Please don't send those messages to the

list. Here are the instructions:

TO: majordomo@rootsquest.com

SUBJ: not necessary

BODY: unsubscribe knoxcotn

or unsubscribe knoxcotn-digest

(depends on your subscription type)

If you have problems with it, don't hesitate to write us!

From: "Doris Forsyth" <dfforsyth@csi.com>

Hi,

I am researching and need help with the KIDD, VINES, DON CARLOS families who

were in Knox County in early 1800's. Archelaus Don Carlos married Elizabeth

Kidd in Knox County in 1823.

The Don Carlos family had earlier been North Carolina and Virginia. Anyone

who is working with these families, please let me hear from you.

I also have SMITH and HICKS in my family. My great grandmother was Mary

Jane HICKs that married Isaac SMITH. Isaac later married a GOINS. My

family was from Tennessee. I think Isaac may have been born in Bledsoe or

surrounding area. My Mary Jane HICKS is a bigger problem. I know that she

and Isaac lived in Tn. BUT she moved to Jackson County, Alabama after they

divorced (I'm guessing they divorced since he married again).
