My name is Pat Graves Reagan. I was born in Greensboro, North Carolina. We moved to Knoxville Tennessee when I was in the 7th grade in the early 50”s. I went to Mt. Olive Grammar School, then Young High School. I met my husband in high school and we got married in 1959. In 1964 Vons job brought us to Neenah, Wisconsin. At the time I thought it was the end of the world. Our town was on one pole saying you are now entering and leaving on the same sign.. My parents were divorced so I did not get to know my Fathers side of the family.. At the young age of 20 I really did not care. Now I two wished I lived outside of the library in Knox County. I am the last Graves on the direct line of 12 generations and have spent most of my time looking for the female lines of the Graves. My grandmother was born in 1873 Union County and my Grandfather was born in 1863. The only place I can go is backward. . It is very hard when you do not have the access to information. On my grandmothers side it is the Kitts, Monroe, Severs. Severs is the one that I get hung up on. I do not know if she is a Severs or Sevier . I do know that she was living with the Meltbargers in the 1850 Knox County census my Grandfather side I have the Graves. His mother was Talitha Fraker. I have that one worked out. Frakers, Gilliam, Halls,. I have the Frakers and the Gilliams worked out , I guess you can say the Halls to. As with everyone else my hang up is with the wife line. I am looking for Mary “Polly” Nelson who married Zackarah Hall. Zackariah Hall was the son of Thomas Hall and lived where the old Avondale farm is or was located. He was born 29 December 1791 in Orange County North Carolina. He married Mary “Polly” Nelson 8 August 1817. I found a old will of William Nelson who died in 1797. His wife was named Mary “Polly “ Nelson. I cannot find any more information. I believe they are related If any one would have information would appreciate it. Most of the sights that I have do not have this William listed. Billie suggested that William was the lawyer that defended Andrew Johnson in the Impeachment trial but I have had no luck there either.. There is a John Nelson that lives close by on the census , Does anyone have the children name . The one in the 1830 census. It is good to be home again if only in my mind.

The Knox County lines that I am currently researching are: Franklin Baker AULT who was married to Martha Jane MOODY in 1869. Their daughter Mary Ellis "Ella" AULT was my great-grandmother. "Ella" married Charlie RUTHERFORD, son of Prior RUTHERFORD and Julia HENDERLIGHT. "Ella" AULT and Charlie RUTHERFORD had a daughter by the name of Lucile Blanch RUTHERFORD (my grandmother). Lucile married Luther Herman "Luke" McGHEE, the son of William Frank McGHEE and Margaret Elizabeth "Maggie" MAPLES. I would appreciate any help on any of these lines.

I spent 8 yrs as a real estate broker, and a couple of years as a medical transcriptionist. I'm 58, retired on a medical disability with lung disease. My genealogy keeps my brain from rusting (I hope) :) I'm researching Margaret Smith, daughter of Alexander Smith & Catherine Lawry. I'm still looking for Margaret's death date and buriel place. She married William Escue in 1833 in Sumner Co, but was born in Knox Co. Joyce Escue Culver ------------------------------ End of knoxcotn-digest V1 #167 ******************************
