To all of Blount County readers, I also enjoy your digest, Terry Jackson, Robin Sterling, Melba Clark have all been helpful in tracking my African American roots in Blount County. Yes I read the digest faithfully. I also miss the website of bobwonda. It was my bible and I can kick myself for not making a copy of that vital information. Where can I find the record holdings of Probate Judge Gillespie, My maternal grandfather Efraim (Ephraim)Gillespie and his brother Ben lived there and raised their families near some of the families you mention . My ancestral family members I am researching are Jackson Fletcher and his family who lived in Bangor, then on to Village Springs(Is there any information about that town anywhere and its residents) I also have Barcliff, Marsh and Nation relatives. I am at a brickwall as I am able to find them in the Census. Robin Sterling showed them in Marriage Records, Death index and WW1 indexes. I've been at this for quite sometime but hope there is more things out there, like deeds, record of sales,etc. If someone can help , I will appreciate it greatly, You can reach me at dofather@aol.com Suzette Arnold

I can probably help with the Marsh family.
