Subject: [KnoxCoTN] re frame houses and log cabins

Hi Patty and List, Since the list seems to be in a summer slump I'll

ask a question. My Alexander McMillan and Robert Houston came into

Knox County before statehood. They probably first lived in log

cabins. My question: About when were frame houses built? They

would have required a saw mill, with the exception of Blount Mansion

where the boards were floated down river from somewhere, I think. I

know Houston built the brick house, Cold Spring Farm, still standing out

in East Knoxville, but I don't know when. Wouldn't even a brick house

have required boards? I'm sure somebody out there knows. Betty

Hi List,

I haven't gotten any email from this list for a long time. Have I been taken

off the list?

Thank you, Carrie

To Betty and list,

Most counties have an historian. I think there is a list posted on the TN

Library and Archies site. I am sure they could either answer that for you or

put you through to someone that could.

I am wondering what has happened to Billie McNamara and Robert McGinnis.

There hasn't been any postings to the list. I just looked and the last

posting that I have from this list was from someone unsubbing. Before that

it was from Tippy in June.

Hope everything is ok with this list.

I am researching the PACK surname. If anyone has any info on a James PACK

that was living in Knoxville in 1880, I would like to hear from you. He was

born ca. 1825 and most of his children were married in Knox co. There may be

descendants still living around there.

Also would like to know if anyone on the list lives near to Caldwell St.? I

would like to find someone to see if there is still a family house standing

today so that I could maybe get a photo of it.

Thanks for any help,

Patty Brock

Our list is still there -- and no one's been dumped from it. We just have

been very quiet for the past several weeks. I assumed everyone's

vacationing, gardening, canning, or whatever.

So -- anybody got anything to stir us all up? (without starting a flame

war, of course <g>)

Hi Billie

I have something to stir-up. If no body else will.

I am (and have been) looking for James Wright, born: January 7, 1832, died:

April 2, 1921. He was a civil war soldier from 1862 until the end of the

war. He was in Co B, 16th Tennessee Cavalry under Captain John Neal.

He was married to: 1st Wife is unknown. She is a major person I am lookind

for, what was her name (maden), where was she born, died, burried. How did

she die, and from what?

He was married to: Melinda Canpbell, born: 1870 in Georgia, died June 1939

in Charleston, McMinn County, Tennessee.

This is all I know about her. Possability this is only some thuth.

I will look at anything to find out if it is my G-Grandfather, Ist wife and

the 2nd wife (Melinda Campbell). Hope You can stir-up something.

Thanks - snake
