Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Civil Districts question

Hi List,

In 1880 Knox co. TN my ancestor was living in Civil Dist. 4. Does anyone

know what part of Knox co. this was? Would it be the same now as it was

then?

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Patty Brock

Subject: [KnoxCoTN] New Project- Civil War Families of Tennessee

The East Tennessee Historical Society is unveiling a new family heritage

program, Civil War Families of Tennessee.

Civil War Families of Tennessee (CWFT) seeks to identify and honor the

sacrifices of the valiant soldiers on both sides of the conflict. This

lineage program will link current descendants with their Civil War

ancestors, encourage new research, and combine the experiences of thousands

of individuals and families to tell more fully the story of the Civil War in

Tennessee.

If you are a direct or collateral descendant of any individual who served in

Tennessee during the Civil War-Union or Confederate-you are eligible for

membership in CWFT. Service may have been in either a Tennessee unit or any

non-Tennessee unit which was active in the state. Membership is also open

through an ancestor who served elsewhere but lived in Tennessee either

before, during, or after the war. In order to recognize the service of the

many young men who died unwed and without children, CWFT offers membership

through collateral descent also.

Like its sister program, First Families of Tennessee, CWFT applications and

membership files will be housed in the Calvin M. McClung Historical

Collection (Knoxville, Tennessee) of the Knox County Public Library System

where together the two projects will provide an unparalleled resource for

family and historical research in the Volunteer State.

CWFT members will receive a handsome certificate with the names of the

applicant and the ancestor, along with the name of the ancestor's company

and regiment. A roster of the members and their ancestors will eventually be

published in book form. CWFT members will also be recognized at a grand

reunion to be hosted by the East Tennessee Historical Society.

For additional information about the Civil War Families of Tennessee

project, including a downloadable application form, please visit the ETHS

web site at www.east-tennessee-history.org. Anyone unable to download a form

may request an application form by sending a stamped, self-addressed

envelope to:

Civil War Families of Tennessee

c/o ETHS

PO Box 1629

Knoxville, TN 37901-1629

Additional questions about the new CWFT project may also be addressed to

civilwar@east-tennessee-history.org (Please note that ETHS does not provide

email-based research assistance at this time.)

The East Tennessee Historical Society, founded in 1834, is one of the oldest

cultural institutions in the state of Tennessee. ETHS, a non-profit

organization headquartered in Knoxville, is dedicated to preserving,

interpreting, and promoting the history of East Tennessee. The society's

programs and activities are made possible through the support of its

membership. The society's First Families of Tennessee family heritage

program was founded in 1992 and now includes more than 13,000 members in 50

states and eight foreign nations.
