Hi All: My name is Anna Lee Bayless Cox. My husband (William S.) and I were

both born in Knoxville and graduated in 1948 from Old Knoxville High School.

I have my father (Carter Caloway Bayless) traced all the way back to the

first Bayless to arrive in America, John Bayless, in the 1600's. Bill and I

returned to Knoxville in 1979 after 27 years away, traveling the world in the

U.S. Army, then 7 yrs. in Greenville, SC.

My brick wall is trying to determine if Hugh Bayless Cox (1902-1959) is

Bill's birth father whom he never knew. All records of his father, marriage,

divorce, City Directory, all have Hugh B. Cox, never a middle name.

According to Bill's birth certificate, his dad was born in 1902 also. In

Hugh Bayless Cox's obituary no mention is made of Bill, but it mentions a son

Kyle in the Navy in Amarillo, TX. Even though I have Hugh B. Cox's social

security number, I couldn't find him in the death index. I can find no

marriage records in Knox County for Hugh Bayless Cox and his last wife, Anna

Mae Rector, even though they both are in the City Directory before and after

their marriage, so have been unable to find anything with his signature to

compare with Hugh B. Cox. As I said, a brick wall. If anyone knows anything

about these people, I would appreciate your help. I did find Hugh Bayless

Cox's family in the 1920 census (they lived in Jefferson County), and Hugh

was 18 at the time. His mother was Emma Bayless, but I haven't found her

name in any of my father's ancestry; however, we may be distant cousins, no?

Thanks. Anna Lee Cox

Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Damewood

Hi my name is Kath. I am reserching the lines.

Damewood, Moore, Knowles, Reynolds, Stephens, Proffitt, Bullard.

John H Damewood was born in Knox county TN around 1822. I do not know

for sure who his father was.

He married Lucinda Moore in Dubois county IN March 29, 1849.

They had a son TJ, Issac and Mary Dorinda.

Lucinda and John divorced (not sure when) John , TJ and Isaac show up on

the 1870 Wilson county Kansas census. Later we hear John moved to

Cowley county Kansas. Lucinda turned up in Wilson county (Fredonia) at

some point with Mary Dorinda.

If anyone knows of this line please contact me.

Thank you so much.

Kath

My name is Ellen Hadaway and I live in Maryville, Tennessee and have lived

here all my life in East Tennessee. I am very interested in genealogy and

years ago took a course at the University of Tennessee that Billie McNamara

taught. My mother was a DEADERICK and my father was a LOVEDAY. I have ties

to many of the people in East Tennessee which include the above and also

CROZIERS, ANDERSONS, ETHERTONS, CONNATSERS, AND WHITEHEADS just to name a

few. I am interested in sharing information with anyone who has interest in

my ancestors. I am also greatly interested in the DEADERICK'S that settled

in Nashville and Memphis.

Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Roll Call - GIBBS

Enjoying to roll call so far! Great list.

I am a third generation great grandson of David and Sarah (TILLMAN)

GIBBS (married in Knox County on May 4, 1797). David is the son

of Nicholas and Mary (EFLAND) GIBBS.

Surnames that get my attention on this list (other than the 3 listed

above) are PICKARD, SHARP, GRAVES, COBLE and DRYDEN

...all immediate or once removed ancestors of the names above.

I traded my baseball card collecting hobby (4 million plus cards) for

the role of family historian about 5 years ago...thinking I would take

all my uncle's books, letters, pictures, etc and simply put them in

FTM files so the content wouldn't get lost...then the addiction hit!

So far, over 62,000 names in the e-files. But, when you are on the

road 4 to 5 nights a week, it sure beats watching television.

I was born and raised in Kansas...raised by a mother who loved to

talk family history...she is a former president of the Midwestern

Region of the DAR. My current home base is Boca Raton, Florida

where I have lived for the past 6 years....18 years in Atlanta before

that.

Of Knox County, Tennessee interest, I have put those weeks on the

road to good use. The names, dates, locations and many stories

contained in the book, "Nicholas Gibbs and His Descendants:

1733 - 1977" are now in my FTM files (est. 20,000 names....many

of which have been mentioned during the current roll call). Several

corrections to the book and many many additions have been made

to the book's content since it was published back in the 70s....but

many more to go!

I will be attending the GIBBS reunion in Corryton on Saturday, June

23 of this year...with digital camera and computer in hand. My

objective is to take as many relevant pictures of the homestead as

possible and to update as many names as I can. We (the Nicholas

Gibbs Historical Society) hope to launch a website for Nicholas'

descendants by the end of the year. Hope to see as many cousins

there as possible...so get the word out! This should be a great link

to the Knox County home pages.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

My name is Pam and I live in Cincinnati Ohio. My grandparents George and Lula

Wheeler moved here in 1924 from Knox Co. Both their families were long, long

time Knox residents and some still live there. The names I am researching are

Wheeler, Conner, Bayless And Scrivner. Some associated names are Wood, Norman

and Anderson. The Bayless & Conners were instrumental in the building of

Glenwood Baptist church. Much info is available from that source. Any one

researching any of these names I would love to hear from.
