Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Powell

Could anyone around the Powell area tell me where the Horace Brown old

home place might be located? He would have lived there in the

1940's. Betty

Subject: [KnoxCoTN] JONES AYLETTE MOORE WHITE McGHEE

I've enjoyed reading the intro's and will take advantage of the recent flurry to re-submit my list

of names to the list -- since ya never know -- Maybe I'll get a nibble. I am writing a history of the feud that took place between the Jones, McGhee and Howard families in Monroe, Blount, and Knox counties. My effort is to present an objective account, giving the benefit of the doubt to all sides rather than seeking to present the participants as "good guys" or "bad guys."

I am also interested in the genealogy of the McGhees and Jones families, which include the families of Aylette (Aylet/Aylett), White (beginning with James White of Knoxville), Moore (Bernard Moore), and Spottswood (also Spotiswood).

Thanks,

Joan Barclay Troy

To the list:

If any of you have made your way through the maze of finding your Native =

Hi Everyone,

 

My name is Michelle Gentry Hagan. I live in Aiea, Hawaii and began my family

research two years ago. My father, William H. L. Gentry was born in

Corryton, Knox County.

I recently updated my web site and have many new pictures, grave marker

photos, will transcriptions and obituaries, <A HREF="http://home.hawaii.rr.com/gentryfamily/">GentryHaganHomePage</A>

My families of interest are:

Ellis family of Maryville, Blount County

Gentry families of Union and Knox Counties

Roberts family of Corryton, Knox County

Family of William D. Russell, he is listed in the Knoxville City Directory

during the 1920s as an herb doctor.

Walker family of Union County

I look forward to hearing from anyone interested in these families.

Aloha,

Michelle
