FRANSE - Heiskell

Posted by Joyce Franse Minnich <Jminnich@mediaone.net> on Sun, 28 Mar 1999

Surname: FRANSE, YARNELL, INGRAM, REESE, ELY

My father was Henry A. Franse (b. 1916 in Heiskell). His father was John Isaac Franse (b. 1870, in Knox Co.), whose father was William Franse (b. Lee Co., Va.). I believe William Franse's father may be the William France from the book, "Early Settlers of Lee County, Virginia" since his brother, Adam R. France, with almost the same birthdate I have (3/28/1856) is listed, as well as a sister, Sarah, whose birth year is one year off (1855 instead of 1854). This book says that William France's wife, Elizabeth, born 1778, may have been Elizabeth Heiskell. And one of their children is listed as Heiskell France, b. 11/4/1862 (although I've never heard of him).

Anyway, with all this Heiskell stuff, I thought perhaps Heiskell may have been named for Elizabeth Heiskell France's family. I know my dad and all his brothers and sisters
were born and raised in Heiskell. Franse (spelled with an "s") is fairly uncommon and I would almost bet that all of us are related somehow.

McNutt, Luttrell, Fisher

Surname: Fisher, Luttrell, McNutt

There are several Luttrell's in my (Mcnutt) line including:

Robert Caldwell Mcnutt b1824 d1890 m Mary Elizabeth Lutrell b1828 d1905
( I have all of their children, as this is my g-grandfather)

his nephew also married a Luttrell:
George M. Mcnutt b1847 d1921 m Iva E. Luttrell b1860 d1940

As far as Sarah Mcnutt, I can only find one in my line (We had a lot of folks in the Knox Co. area at that time). I dont have a birth date for her, she was probably born about the time of Emsley fisher, which would put her father at 60+ when she was born, which is unlikely but possible...
|Benjamin McNutt b1758 d1857 m Amelia Alexander babt1740

if you have more information on these, or need information, please email me!

NEWMAN

Surname: Newman, Curnutt

Hi Dottie,
I tried to e-mail you to say thank you so much. This is the g-g-grandmother and g-g-grandfather I was trying to find something about. I was wondering if Nancy B. husband and son would possibly be mentioned in the Knox Co. archives with her also? I must tell you I am so green at this, I just now have learned to e-mail a little. I guess all the other good stuff liked loading, downloading, paste and copy will come later. I read a lot about the FTM, but do not know how to use this either. OH well enough about my fears of this computer. Now back to Newmans do you have anyone by the name of Taylor E, Newman or Vernon? This was my grandmother Mary Alice Newman Curnutts brothers. My father never talked about any of these to me maybe because they were all deceased before I was born.
Thank You again,
Janice Gooch
Athens,Al
