If so, please check out the Knox County, TNGenWeb presentation of: Southern Railway Road and Yard Seniority List and Addresses (April, 1925) http://www.knoxcotn.org/directories/southernRR/index.html Billie added a neat search engine to the database of names (1,118 in all). The database contains the person's name, address, job description and seniority (?hire) date -- some of these go back to 1885! Those of you with railroad kin in Middlesboro, KY -- please check this database -- there are several folks from that area listed in the book We've also included a list of local Knoxville advertisers, poems written by "the boys", etc. Give it a whirl! ;-) Also -- please dig around in your old trunks, etc -- we'd love to find more Seniority lists (pre-1950) covering the Knoxville area. We've had a great response from putting this little book online <g>. As always, thanks for your support!

It places Assa Walker in Tennessee. The Fort Southwest Point where the records were originated is located at the bluff high above the junction of the Tennessee and Clinch Rivers at Kingston, Roane County, TN. The John Walker mentioned by Gideon Morgan in this data is more than likely the same John Walker who lived on the Emory River and is of the Wigton-Walker family from Rockbridge County, VA. Gideon Morgan moved to Kingston. He was a prominent resident of Kingston during this time period. He owned a large brick house across the street from the still standing historic Roane County Court House and at the corner of the roads to Kentucky and Cumberland. I grew up half block away from this house and the old court house. It is a very large document. Leota #153 <snip> For a list of intruders on Cherokee Lands between 1801 and 1819.

McNamara" <knox@tngenweb.org> Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Campbell, Sevier and Knox Counties Is anyone working on the Campbell family in either county? I'm trying to track down info about a man named Ferrell Campbell, who was born in 1898. I'm reckoning he's passed on, but he was living in Knoxville in 1977. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 Apr 2001 18:34:27 -0400 From: "Billie R.

His name was Campbell Sharp Kelly (or Kelley). His Civil War pension says he was born Jan. 29, 1841 in Knox County. After Union County was formed, he lived in that area, around Luttrell. I would appreciate knowing his family information, if someone can find him. Thank you for your help. Paula ------------------------------ End of knoxcotn-digest V1 #148 ******************************
