Dear Sir or Madam:
I am in the process of doing some research work on a small settlement in northeastern Knox County by the name of Tuckahoe Tennessee. It is located around the Kodak area. At one time probably in the late twenties there was a grist mill there and little else. I would appreciate it very much if you could sent me any information you have on this early settlement.

Needing information concerning death of Catherine BREEDLOVE, Knox Co.,16 Jan 1850.

Audrie Mallory Mon, 10 Nov 1997 12:19:35 EST
I have traced back my ancestors to records that they arrived in Indiana in the late 1830's from Knoxville. They are Susan Cobb and Ralph (Samuel Euriah) Lane--he is listed as Ralph in the 1840 census but family records know him as Samuel Euriah. There is confusion at this point as to whether this is one man or two men, possibly brothers. Probably six children were born in Knoxville. My great grandfather told me Susan Cobb was a Cherokee. Any help you can give me is greatly appreciated. Please feel free to forward this to anyone else who might to help me. Thank you very much.
