Re:Thomas McMillan
Don Sheridan -- Friday, 25 August 2000, at 1:29 p.m.

Colleen, I need more info. I have looked at census records and find in the 1850 census three Thomas McMillans. The first is Thomas, the brother of my g-g-g-grandmother Esther McMillan Baker. His wife is Sarah Reagan. They married in 1815. Their children were: William B.A., Mary Jane & Sarah. I also believe they had two sons named Andrew and John R. The second Thomas born ca. 1813/14 is married to a Jane. Their children were: Narcissa Hester, Margaret Rebecca, James Matthew, Nancy Jane and Loretta E. The third Thomas was born about 1830 and is not married. I don't show any Thomas MaMillan's in the 1860 census unless their name was misspelled which maybe I should look into. Only the second Thomas shows up in the 1870 census. Here again it could be a misspelling of the name. What can you give me on dates for your Thomas? Also, dates on Murphy Dugan McMillan will help. Look forward to hearing from you.

They later moved to Blount Co. & Elizabeth is listed in the 1850 census as living with David & Amanda & she was 77 years old.I believe Amanda may have been born in Knox Co. in 1823. Would appreciate any info.

Would apprecate any in put about a cemetery in Knoxville called Rest-Haven Cemetery or possibly Haven-Rest. We are looking for a FRANK MORRISON died Jan. 28, 1930 and his wife ALICE WEBSTER MORRISON whom died in 1956. Could not find a cemetery by this name listed for the Knoxville area or County. It is possible that this cemetery is called by another name. If any one could help with this information, it is very much apprecated.

Re: Ward Family

Sammie, I have a newspaper clipping which show the above brothers and their names. The names of one of them was Arthur Peterson Ward ( not Peterson Arthur),he was my great-grandfather. He married Loma E. Byrd. There was only one girl who live to adulthood in this family. I can send the other information if you would like me to. Look foward to hearing from you.

Looking for any information on John Ward, who came from WV to Knox Co.,TN and was the father of John Calhoun Freemont Ward,Born Aug.17,1862 died Feb.5,1945 married Ellen Francis Botner. Would appreciate any information on this.

Re: Ward Family
Sammie Laurance -- Wednesday, 30 August 2000, at 4:52 p.m.

Elizabeth, Thanks for the offer, but I am not really tracing the Ward family. My aunt married William Morris Ward, and I have him and his children, and that's all I'm doing on that line. The children were by his first marriage.

Re: Ward Family
Elizabeth P. Walters -- Thursday, 31 August 2000, at 7:46 a.m.

Sandy,I think your David N. Ward might be the brother of John Ward who came from WV to Blount Co.,TN.There is a bit of a family story that goes along with this John Ward. I have been trying to locate more information on him. I have found a few marriages, but not sure if it is my John Ward or not. I do know that he had a son, John Calhoun Freemont Ward,Sr.August 17, 1862,d.February 03, 1945,married Ellen Francis Botner on August 17, 1883 in Knox Co.,TN. Both are buried in the Bishopville Cemetery in Knox Co.,TN. Look foward to hearing from you.

Carol,

The name of the cemetery you are looking for is Lynnhurst Cemetery. It use to be called Lynnhurst-Resthaven back in the 1920-1930's. The telephone number to the cemetery is 865-689-8888.

Re:Thomas McMillan
Don Sheridan -- Thursday, 31 August 2000, at 12:35 p.m.

What else do you know about Thomas, i.e. brothers and sisters? I found Thomas in the 1900 census and it gives his birth as Jan. 1854. The 1860 census doesn't have a Thomas age 5 or 6 but their are two who are close to that age, one a couple of years old, the other a couple of years younger. The younger has an older sister named Nancy and an older brother John; and a younger sister Lizzy. Any names sound familiar? They weren't listed with any parents. Was Thomas orphaned? Let me know and I can dig deeper. Don S.

Clark(e), Trent
Debi Remer -- Thursday, 31 August 2000, at 3:53 p.m.

I'm looking for any information about the following:

Edwin Reuben Clark(e),m (1), Mary Ann Sessler. Mary Ann died May 14, 1873 in Knoxville and is buried in Old Gray Cemetery. Edwin then married Eliza Trent September 30, 1874 in Knoxville. Eliza died July 24, 1884 and is also buried at Old Gray. Edwin died March 02, 1880 also buried with his wives.

Eliza was left to raise my ggrandmother, Mary Ollie Clark(e) who was born in 1868. She was 12 by the time both her natural parents died, 16 when Eliza died.

Besides finding any information about the above people, I want to find out what happened to Ollie. She ended up living & working in Nashville where she met my ggrandfather and married in 1894.

Thanks for any and all help. I'm going bonkers with this family.

Re:Thomas McMillan
Colleen Poor -- Thursday, 31 August 2000, at 9:50 p.m.

Hi Don, Well what I have is this: He had a brother, named Dugan, and two sisters but I don't have their names. I know he married Rebecca Wolfenbarger in 1873, had the two sons, Murphy Dugan (my grandfather) and Jesse, and the three daughters, Ida, Callie and Bessie. They lived in Knoxville TN. Other than that the names don't sound familiar. I don't know if he was an orphan or not. The one found in the 1900 census could very well be the one but who knows. I really do appreciate your efforts. I just wish I had more to go on. I'll see if I can contact my uncle and see if he or my aunt can give me any more information. Have you been doing this sort of thing for a long time? I've felt very frustrated-mostly due to the lack of time and information. Thanks again for your help. Colleen Poor
