Evelyn, Glad to see you onboard again, also the name Herman Daniel repeats on our family of descendants. I wonder who they are naming them after. My John Simon Daniel born 1822, Grainger county, TN. married Mary Jeffreys, daughter of Marmaduke Norlfeet Jeffreys and Hanna Hill. John and Mary had a son named named John Daniel who had a descendant named James Herman Daniel, he's even submitted his DNA and it matched our line of Edward Daniel and it also matched Basil Daniels line. John Daniel was a brother to my Rachell Evaline Daniel that married William L. Carroll in Benton county, Ark. I think if we all keep working together we will all eventually solve this puzzle.

John, Believe this William was the Bertie County jailer in 1724 that convinced the Bertie County Court needed an Ordinary to entertain folks coming to court. The County then gave Will a piece of land on a free 99 year lease to build an Ordinary and dwelling for his family and Will became the Ordinary keeper. I believe this is also the William that purchased property in 1730 adj to Robert LANIER and Robert ROGERS among others. William traded several tracts with members of the PEELE family as you posted as well as James JENKINS also of NANSEMOND. In Chowan Court Oct 1742 it was ordered that James WILSON be overseer of the roads from Bennett's Creek Bridge to Knotty Pine Swamp in the room of William DANIEL Ca. Bennett's Creek is mentioned in several of the deeds you posted. Who is he? Shooting from the hip I would say he is some relation to Thomas DANIEL (of T&E) and possibly Simon DANIEL but I have no proof. Possibly some relation to Owen also. I have begun to separate Simon from Owen in my mind if not in my database; just not enough to feel strongly about. Mike Mike

John, Isn't the statement you made below is a bit heavy handed? Why are you now troubled for the need for "over, overwhelming" evidence? What claims disturb you so much about this family which I assume is Robert Daniell of Charleston, or is it just the Daniell family as a whole? "I learned a long time ago, never to trust anything this DANIELL family says about anything, unless the evidence is over, overwhelming...Regardless, this DANIELL family is the most cobbled up family we have in the DANIELL family and they have not one bit of DNA evidence to back up any of their claims." Remember to old song, "accetuate the positive, eliminate the negative"? For those who suffer in silence. Payne

Vickie, Davis STOCKTON (1668-1762) married Sarah GUDYLOUCH, d/o William GUDYLOUCH and Ann DUNCAN of Albemarle County, VA. Their daughter, Hannah STOCKTON born 1716 in Burlington PA married Adam GUDYLOUCH and their daughter, Ann GUDYLOUCH, married William SAFFOLD, Jr. of Lunenburg County, VA and their son, Dr. Seaborn Jones SAFFOLD MD (1789-1859) married Julia Smith HEARD of Green County, GA and they moved to Morgan County, GA. She was the d/o Col. Abraham HEARD and Nancy COFFEE of PE County, VA, later Hancock County, GA and even later, Knoxville, Knox County, TN. Nancy was the daughter of Peter COFFEE and Sarah SMITH of Hancock County, GA. Do you want to know what DANIELS are close to this bunch? The CUNNINGHAM-DANIEL-KELSO clan out of PA, then Augusta County, VA, then PE County, VA and finally, Greene County, GA. Davis STOCKTON and Sarah GUDYLOUCH also had a son named, Richard STOCKTON and he married Agnes Ann Boudinot ANTHONY, d/o a Joseph ANTHONY of Albemarle County, VA. They also had other son, including a Samuel STOCKTON, which I think was the ancestor of my Elizabeth STOCKTON (1810-1888) who married Russell RENEAU. Anyway, Richard and Agnes had children named, Elizabeth who married a Thomas LOCKHART, Nancy who married a Robert SHIELDS (1744-1802) and Deborah who married a John McMAHAN. The SHIELDS were from Augusta County, VA. I do not know the SHIELDS name I mentioned, previously, but I know there was a Shields BURNEY of Madison, Morgan County, GA who was close to all of this bunch. Robert SHIELDS died in Sevier County, TN in 1802 and it has been rumored that Elizabeth STOCKTON, wife of Russell RENEAU, was from that general area. The BOUDINOTS were collateral with the STOCKTONS back in their home stomping grounds in Whitehall, Burlington County, NJ. Annis BOUDINOT married Richard STOCKTON, Esq. (1731-1781) of Princeton, Mercer County, New Jersey who was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Davis STOCKTON was his grand uncle. Speaking of Whitehall, Burlington County, NJ, there are NEWTONS, buried right next to my RICHTER family, who were from this same area in NJ. Edward Taylor NEWTON (1872-1904) of Madison, married Josie VARNER (1875-1952) of Varner, Lincoln County, AR. The VARNERS were originally of Burke County, GA and lived near my DANIEL bunch down there, as did the BYNES. After NEWTON's death, Josie married Col. William Thomas BACON, Esq., long time publisher of the Madison, GA "Madisonian." His brother, the Hon. Louis Howard BACON of Oglethorpe County, GA married one of my HUNTER girls, whose mother was my grand aunt, Sarah Caroline RICHTER. This SAFFOLD Family also ties into the PORTER family of Greene County, GA. Adam Gudyloch SAFFOLD ( 1784-1850) married Ann PORTER, d/o Col. Oliver PORTER, Sr. and Margaret WATSON of Greene County, GA, formerly of PE County, VA. Her brother, Anthony PORTER married Louisa ALEXANDER and please remember I am an ALEXANDER descendant and they, too, were of Augusta County, VA. Notice the ANTHONY name, again. The ANTHONYS and PORTERS were of PE County, VA and before that, IRELAND. The PORTERS and the SAFFOLDS tie into the FANNIN family of Morgan County, GA. Another child of William SAFFOLD, Sr. and Temperance WHITING, a sister of William SAFFOLD, Jr. who married Ann GUDYLOUCH, was Georgia Elizabeth SAFFOLD ( 1748-1814) and she married James H. FANNIN, Sr. RS-VA (1739-1803) who also moved to Madison, Morgan County, GA. He was the father of Col. James W. FANNIN of Goliad, TX fame during their War for Independence. Please also remember that my step-GGF, Professor Winfield M. RIVERS (1824-1905) of Charleston was living with Mrs. Sarah Williamson Bird LAMAR in Oxford, Newton County, GA in 1850. Her brother-in-law was Gen. M. B. LAMAR, the second President of Texas. Mrs. LAMAR was the widow of Judge L. Q. C. LAMAR, Sr. (1707-1834) of Milledgeville, Baldwin County, GA and mother of Justice L. Q. C. LAMAR of the US Supreme Court and also General L. Q. C. LAMAR, CSA who was Judge Advocate General of the ANV. He first practiced law in Oxford, MS, where my PIERCE bunch was from and went to school. I cannot believe that all of this was by chance. Young Lucious' uncle was Dr. Augustus LONGSTREET, the uncle of James of the same last name who became President of the University of MS after leaving Oxford College in 1840. The RIVERS were not white trash, either, they were one of the wealthiest and most aristocratic families in Charleston, SC. RIVER's daughter by his first wife, Hallie Elise RIVERS (1850-1835) married my grand uncle, Martin L."Mat" RICHTER (1846-1924) of Madison, Morgan County, GA. One of Mat and Hallie's granddaughters, Hallie KILPATRICK, married Coach Harry MEHRE of the UGA and another, Martin Edgar KILPATRICK founded the law firm, Kilpatrick and Stockton in Atlanta and was the mentor of George 41 when both were in the Navy during WW II. I do not know where all of this leads but I know descendants of this same RIVERS family owned the former home of Gov. Robert DANIELL of Charleston until the early days of the 20th Century. Maybe you or someone else has some thoughts on this bunch...... John R.

Elijah was of the James Daniel family who came to Trigg County from Tennessee at the turn of 1800. The other James Daniel came from Caroline County, VA and settled near Roaring Springs, Trigg Co about 1815 and was prominent in that area for the next 20 years. Pam Miller has a lot of information on the former. On my family history junket last fall I found a good deal of information on the latter James who was my Gx3 g'pa and I'm pretty certain the fifth generation descendant of James the First of Essex/Caroline Co, VA. Jack Daniel

I have seen the name stockton in Henry county, but no other connections as of yet "John R. Clarke" <jclarke@rose.net> wrote:Vickie, Now, we are getting somewhere. My 2nd GGF was Rev. Russell RENEAU (1807-1865) whose first assignment in the Methodist Church was in the Holston Conference of the ME Church in 1837. His father, the Hon. Louis O. RENEAU, Esq. (1784-1863) was an attorney and State Representative from the French Broad River area of Jefferson County, TN in the 1820's. Family sources say Louis was married to a NORRIS but others have said she was a Jane MORRIS. I know nothing more about her except that she must had died BEF 1840. Sometime around 1840, Louis moved to Atlanta to be with several of his sons who were in the newspaper and printing business in Atlanta and by 1863 he had moved to Savannah, GA to live with another son, Norris RENEAU, who was running a fleet of privateers out of Savannah for the CSN during the CW. My GGF, Russell RENEAU (1807-1865) transferred to the GA conference of the Methodist Church in 1844 and was a Presiding Elder in the Athens District and was living in Oxford, Newton County, GA by 1850. He had been a PE in the Marietta, GA District, earlier and represented GA at the National Conference in 1852. Russell was married to an Elizabeth STOCKTON (1810-1888), who I think is out of the Davis STOCKTON line out of Albemarle County, VA but she could well have been out of another line in this Monmouth County, NJ STOCKTON family. Elizabeth bore Russell five children, two of which were killed during the CW but one was my GGM, Mary Jane RENEAU (1830-1912) who married Robert Williams DANIEL, Esq. (1809-1865) in Jefferson County, GA in 1852. Louis O. RENEAU, Esq. was a son of Rev. Thomas Means RENEAU RS-VA (1760-1840) and Jane RAMSEY (ABT 1765-1851), d/o Reynolds RAMSEY and Naomi ALEXANDER of Swan Pond, Knox County, TN. The RAMSEYS had migrated to TN from Frederick and New Castle areas of MD to TN. Jane's brother was Samuel Graham RAMSEY ( 1771-1817) who married Elizabeth Christina FLEMMING, d/o Dr. William FLEMING and Ann "Nancy" CHRISTIAN of Bellmont, Roanoke County, VA. My GGF, Robert W. DANIEL was also in the RR business with his collateral DONOVAN family of Bethany, later Wadley, Jefferson County, GA -- the Georgia RR. My aunt, Mary Caroline RICHTER (1876-1906) married William James PIERCE (1868-1910) of Oxford, MS and his brother, Edward Beauchamp PIERCE, Esq.(b. ABT 1867) was a VP of the Chicago and Rock Island RR in 1910. The PIERCES had moved down from IN to the Oxford, MS area before the CW where they tied up with the BEAUCHAMP family (originally from NJ) that had migrated down to north-central GA and then to MS and later, Van Buren, Crawford County, AR. One of their PIERCE siblings, Eula PIERCE born 1875 married Dr. Matthew Shrewsbury DIBRELL of Van Buren, AR BEF 1900. I also know that Eddie PIERCE was an assistant to the President of the University of Mississippi and attorney. His younger brother, Willie PIERCE, probably also a graduate of the University of MS, married my aunt, Mary RICHTER, in 1900 in Madison. He was then an executive with the S. A. TURNELL Company in Madison. When Willie died in 1910, due to complications of stomach surgery at a hospital in Rochester, MN, his body was brought back to Madison, Morgan County, GA to be buried beside his late wife in the RICHTER family plot, on the personal train of his brother, then a VP of the Rock Island RR and living in Chicago. All I have been able to find out about this PIERCE family is the boys had an uncle, Edward PIERCE, of Hattiesburg in 1910, who had helped raise these boys have the death of their father. This uncle also stood up with his nephew, William James PIERCE, in Madison in 1900 when Willie married Mary RICHTER. All of this is documented in various obits and wedding announcements, copies of which I have in my possession. I also clean off Mary and Willie's tombstones when I clean off the tombstones of my other RICHTER ancestors and I have a picture of Mary but not Willie. Back to Rev. Russell RENEAU. In 1852 he left the Methodist Church for about four years before returning in 1856 as head of African Missions in Ft. Smith, AR, which is also located in Crawford County. In 1860 he is appointed PE in the Clarksville, AR District, a position he held until his death in 1865, age 58, in Brownstown, Sevier County, AR. I have no knowledge of what he was doing in Brownstown, Sevier County, AR on 1 Sep 1865 when he died although it is located pretty close to Ft. Smith, in the southwestern part of the state. Clarksville, however, is located in the north-central part of the state a 100 or more miles from Brownstown, AR, where the Reneau-Richter Bible, the personal Bible of Rev. RENEAU, states he died. This leather bound Bible, published by the ME Church in 1836, is in my possession. It weighs about 20#. I also do not know where Russell was buried because in the fall of 1865 newspaper had not yet resumed publication after the CW. I also do not know where my GGF, Robert W. DANIEL, Esq. (1809-1865), was buried and he died just a little over two months later on 23 Nov 1865, according to the Bible. I know where his brother, James L. DANIEL (1814-1857) was buried, Bethany Methodist Church Cemetery, Wadley, Jefferson County, GA but RWD is not buried there. I have two hypothesis for RWD's death. One, he died fighting with Gen. Beverly Daniel Evans's militia troops at Griswoldville, Jones County, GA on 22 Nov 1864, as they sought to protect the RR from Macon to Savannah from Union forces and the date listed in the Bible is just off by one year and a day. Or, he was sent by his wife, Mary Jane, to AR to recover her father's body, as well as her mother, and he died in transit. Either one of these two theories are plausible explanations, since RWD was not buried with his brother, James, and his DANIEL family in Wadley. I also know Russell's wife, Elizabeth STOCKTON, was recovered by someone and was living with my grandparents, John C. RICHTER, Sr. and her grand daughter, Alice Elizabeth Daniel RICHTER (1854-1924), in Madison, GA in 1880. Some time in the late 1880's Elizabeth went to visit her daughter, Mary Jane RENEAU (1830-1912), who was then living in Glen Rose, Somervell County, TX with her second husband, Professor Winfield Montgomery RIVERS (1824-1905), and she died out there and was buried in Glen Rose, TX. RIVERS, a graduate of the University of Charleston, was out of the prominent Francis RIVERS family of James Island, SC, right outside Charleston. RIVERS's brother, Dr. William B. RIVERS (1827-1879) married the daughter of a Methodist minister and is buried in Oxford, Newton County, GA with all of the other Methodist Big Whigs. Dr. RIVERS's father-in-law was Rev. Edward Lloyd THOMAS of the GA Conference and his brother-in-law was Gen. E. L. THOMAS, Jr. CSA. . Rev. Thomas Means RENEAU RS-VA (1760-1840) and his wife, Jane RAMSEY, moved to Blue River TWP, Harrison County, IN sometime in the 1840's, as the story goes. His grave, near Friendship, IN, was marked in Oct 2002 by the DAR, with full military honors provided by the honor guard from the SAR. His brother, Francis RENEAU, also a minister, as well as RS-VA. married Lydia SEVIER, d/o Gen. John SEVIER, the first governor of TN. Does any of this sound familiar? John R. Clarke Thomasville, GA ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vickie Lomon" To: Sent: Monday, April 26, 2004 10:54 PM Subject: [DANIEL-L] Francis Daniel, Joesph Daniel, Sherrod Mayes, Issac Barton, Hamblen county, TN settlers Perhaps someone may reconize some of the names mentioned above that may lead to some clues. HAMBLEN COUNTY HAMBLEN COUNTY is a small county lying along the left bank of the Holston River, and divided into two almost equal parts by the East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia Railroad. It was formed from fractions of Jefferson, Grainger and Hawkins Counties. The first settlement in this territory was made in 1783 by Robert McFarland and Alexander Outlaw, both of whom located at the "bend of Chucky". Shortly after Gideon, Daniel and Absalom Morris settled in the vicinity of where Morristown now is. They were brothers, and had been among the first settlers on the Watauga. Gideon Morris had three sons; John, Gideon and Shadrach, all of whom after marriage remained In the neighborhood of the old homestead. John lived south of the present town in a house still occupied by one of his descendants and Gideon west of town on what is now known as the Hobb's place, while Shadrach, who subsequently removed to Indiana, located on the site of Rheatown. In 1792-93 a road was laid out through what is n! ow Hamblen County, and extended to the western limits of Jefferson County, where it was met by the road from Knoxville. This road afterward formed the line between the counties of Jefferson and Grainger, and became a section of the great stage route from Knoxville to Abingdon, VA. It was along this road that most of the early settlers located. Beginning at Morristown and going eastward was William Chaney, who lived on the lot now occupied by Joseph Brown's residence; Thomas Daggett, a little less than a mile beyond, and Phelps Read, about two miles east Morristown. In the neighborhood of Read were John Crockett, Richard Thompson and Isaac Martin. Still farther to the east were Isaac Barton, Joseph Shannon and James McGhee. In the vicinity of Russellville and Whitesburg were Samuel Riggs, James Roddye, Caleb Witt, William Pulliam, William B. Roddye and Jesse Hoskins. Daniel Taylor located on the Holston River at Marshall's Ferry. Sherrod Mayes and James Shields also lived on the Holston. John Evans was one of the first to locate on Panther Creek. Jesse Cheek settled at what is known as Cheek's Cross Roads, where he carried on a store for many years. A store was also opened there some time prior to 1810 by Deaderick & Wendell. About 1835 P. B. Anderson and James W. Deaderick, ex-chief Justice of Tennessee, and G. A. & G. H. Cheek were engaged in business at the same place during the thirties. An early settler just southwest of Morristown was Clisbie Riggs, who ran a still-house, while about three miles northwest were the Noes, David and John. Of the pioneers of the county, the one in whom the greatest interest centers is David Crockett, the son of John Crockett, but as a sketch of his life appears in another chapter of this work it will not be repeated here. When a lad he came to the county with his father's family, and remained until two or three years after his marriage. The records of Jefferson County show that on October 21, 1805, he was licensed to wed Margaret Elder, and that on August 12, 1806, he received a license to marry Polly Findlay. The first named lady, for reasons not now known, refused to proceed with the marriage after all of the preliminaries had been arranged. Polly Findlay was the daughter of a respectable farmer residing In the vicinity of what has since been known as Findlay's Gap. James and William Roddye, mentioned above, were both prominent citizens. The former was a member of the convention which formed the constitution of the State of Franklln, and after the fall of the FranklIn government, was a representative to the Legislature of North Carolina. Upon the organization of Jefferson County he was elected register, and in 1797 became a member of the State Senate. William Roddye was a member of the Constitutional Convention of 1796 from Jefferson County Caleb Witt and Isaac Barton were among the earliest of the pioneer Baptist preachers of East Tennessee. Some time prior to 1794 they organized Bent Creek Church, near Whitesburg. In that year it had a membership of fifty-one, and was represented In the Holston Association by James Roddye, Isaac Barton and Caleb Witt. In 1804 the church known as Bethel South, now the Morristown Baptist Church, was organized by Isaac Barton. The first Methodist Church in the county was probably organized at "Read's Meeting-House," near Phelps Read's. About 1815 a campground called Sulphur Spring was established four miles south of Morristown. Among the original campers were Solomon Wyatt, Francis Daniel, Sherrod Mayes, Benjamin McCarty and Joseph Daniel, with their families. In 1825 a Methodist Church was built at Russellville, which was then just beginning to assume the importance of a village. Among the members were Clisbie Austin, Paul Potter, Henry Stewart, William Pulliam, Jacob Frizzle, ! Hugh Cain and John Miller. A log house was at first erected, and was used until a short time prior to the civil war, when it was replaced by a brick. In 1832 the Presbyterians organized a church known as Bethesda, a short distance west of Russellville. For several years Russellville remained the only village in the territory now embraced in Hamblen County. Some time about 1830 a paper-mill, of extensive proportions for that day, was put into operation by Samuel and Milton Shields, about three miles north -east of Morristown. It, with a store or two, was carried on there for several years. About 1820 Martin Stubblefield, one of the early settlers of Grainger County, near the old County Line Church, removed to Morristown and built a house near where the depot now is and where he continued to reside until his death. He had several daughters, one of whom married Henry Countz, and another, William Chaney, Jr. Although from the first settlement of the county, the neighborhood was known as Morristown, it was not until 1833 that a post office was established there. At the same time a store was opened by John M. Coffin in the house now occupied by A. H. Gregg as a residence. At a little later date Jehu Morris began business on the opposite side of the street in a building standing upon the lot where D. Pence & Co's. store now is. These merchants were succeeded by Drury Morris & Co., and Read & Noe, afterward Cocke, Read & Co. During the decade preceding the civil war the village developed into a town, and was incorporated. Its growth was greatly promoted by the buildi! ng of the East Tennessee & Virginia Railroad, which was chartered in 1852 and completed In 1858, the last spike having been driven on May 14 of that year. In 1856 or 1857 the construction of the Cincinnati, Cumberland Gap & Charleston Railroad was begun, but no part of it was completed until 1867. Among the merchants of Morristown from 1855 to 1862, besides these mentioned were J. M. Mims, J. W. Nicodemus, M. Carriger & Bros., Sawyers & Jackson, and J. W. Clyne. During this period a large steam flouring-mill was erected by a stock company composed of several of the leading business men. A steam saw mill and a machine shop were also put into operation In 1857 a newspaper, the American Statesman, published by F. M. Wylie and H.C. Craig, was removed to Morristown from Dandridge. They continued its publication about one year. Mr. Wylie then procured the services of Rev. W. C. Graves, as the editor of a paper known as the Religious Intelligencer; it was devoted mainly to religious subjects, but contained a secular department. The first number appeared April 16,1858. Soon after Mr. Wylie was succeeded by W. E. M. Neal and J, De M. Roberts, as publishers, but no change was made in the editorial management. In the early part of 1861 the name was changed to the Holston Intelligencer, and so continued until its suspension the following June. The first school of importance in Morristown was opened about 1850 in the building now occupied by the girl's high school. Among the first teachers were S.D. Miles, John Portrum, Prof. Hodges and John N. Southern. Since the close of the war Morristown has grown steadily In population and wealth. During the past two or three years the growth has been remarkably rapid, the population having very nearly doubled in that time. The first firms to resume business after the close of hostilities in 1865 were Waggoner & Bewley and Capt. James A.' Bird. Among others who succeeded were P. Smith & Co., W. T. Gill, Brown & Noe and Morris, Kidwell & Co The mercantile interests of the present time are represented by G. B. McCrary & Co., J. N. Hilt & Co., D. Pence & Co., Marsh, McCord & Co., Brown & Stubblefield, Goodson & Legg, Van Hess & Bro., Craig Holley & Craig and S. B. McCrary, general merchandise; W. M. Wilmeth, Allen Davis & Co., C. C.

McCrary and R. L. Gaut; a sash, door and blind factory, operated by H. Loop, and a carriage factory conducted by H. L. Witt. A stove foundry is in the process of erection (?) stock company. The town also contains two banks. Lookout Bank, with a capital stock of $50,000, was organized on May 4, 1874, with G. T. Magee as president and John Murphey, cashier. The present president is Judge James G. Rose. In 1885 the First National Bank of Morristown was organized, with a capital stock of $50,000. It is one of the best banking institutions in East Tennessee, being ably and carefully managed. The officers are Maj. G. W. Folsom, president, and G. S. Crouch. cashier. The first newspaper published at Morristown after the war, was the Morristown Gazette, established by W. W. Neal in 1866. In October of the following year he sold It to L. P. & G. E. Speck, who continued its publication until September, 1873, when it was purchased by the present editor and proprietor, John E. Helms. It is ably edited, and ranks among the best weekly papers In the State. In 1883, the Tennessee Pilot, a Republican paper, was established by C. H. Darlington, who has since successfully continued its publication. On January 11,1887, the first number of the Semi-weekly Democrat appeared. It is edited and published by -----Jones and -----Hill, and is constantly growing in popularity. Several other papers, among which were the Baptist Reflectoor and the Holston Methodist have been published at Morristown, but none have continued but for a short time. The oldest church organization in Morristown is the Baptist. it being a successor of the old Bethel South. The new house of worship was erected in 1868, the prime movers in the work being Drury Morris and Curtis Eames. In 1860 the members of the Methodist Episcopal Church South began the erection of their present church, which, how-ever, was not completed until after the close of the war. In 1870 the Presbyterians erected a large and commodious brick church. This was accomplished largely through the efforts of Rev. W. H. Smith, who has since remained the honored pastor of the church. Recently the members of the Lutheran and of the Methodist Episcopal Church edifices have each erected a commodious church edifice. The act creating a new county to be named Hamblen in honor of Hezekiah Hamblen, of Hawkins County, was passed May 31, 1870, and William Courtney, W. S. Reese, W. C. Witt, and James C. Davis, of Jefferson County, and John C. Tate, C. J. Burnett and Rufus E. Rice of Grainger County, were appointed to organize the county. At the regular election in August, the county officers were elected, and on the 3d of October, 1870, the county court was organized in an old store house in Morristown. The justices present were Samuel P. Hixon, L. D. Milligan, L. F. Leiper, C. L. Gregory, George McFarland, R. M. Hamblen, A. J. Donelson, Alexander Williams, Jonathan Noe, G. W. Carmichael, C. J.

Vickie, Now, we are getting somewhere. My 2nd GGF was Rev. Russell RENEAU (1807-1865) whose first assignment in the Methodist Church was in the Holston Conference of the ME Church in 1837. His father, the Hon. Louis O. RENEAU, Esq. (1784-1863) was an attorney and State Representative from the French Broad River area of Jefferson County, TN in the 1820's. Family sources say Louis was married to a NORRIS but others have said she was a Jane MORRIS. I know nothing more about her except that she must had died BEF 1840. Sometime around 1840, Louis moved to Atlanta to be with several of his sons who were in the newspaper and printing business in Atlanta and by 1863 he had moved to Savannah, GA to live with another son, Norris RENEAU, who was running a fleet of privateers out of Savannah for the CSN during the CW. My GGF, Russell RENEAU (1807-1865) transferred to the GA conference of the Methodist Church in 1844 and was a Presiding Elder in the Athens District and was living in Oxford, Newton County, GA by 1850. He had been a PE in the Marietta, GA District, earlier and represented GA at the National Conference in 1852. Russell was married to an Elizabeth STOCKTON (1810-1888), who I think is out of the Davis STOCKTON line out of Albemarle County, VA but she could well have been out of another line in this Monmouth County, NJ STOCKTON family. Elizabeth bore Russell five children, two of which were killed during the CW but one was my GGM, Mary Jane RENEAU (1830-1912) who married Robert Williams DANIEL, Esq. (1809-1865) in Jefferson County, GA in 1852. Louis O. RENEAU, Esq. was a son of Rev. Thomas Means RENEAU RS-VA (1760-1840) and Jane RAMSEY (ABT 1765-1851), d/o Reynolds RAMSEY and Naomi ALEXANDER of Swan Pond, Knox County, TN. The RAMSEYS had migrated to TN from Frederick and New Castle areas of MD to TN. Jane's brother was Samuel Graham RAMSEY ( 1771-1817) who married Elizabeth Christina FLEMMING, d/o Dr. William FLEMING and Ann "Nancy" CHRISTIAN of Bellmont, Roanoke County, VA. My GGF, Robert W. DANIEL was also in the RR business with his collateral DONOVAN family of Bethany, later Wadley, Jefferson County, GA -- the Georgia RR. My aunt, Mary Caroline RICHTER (1876-1906) married William James PIERCE (1868-1910) of Oxford, MS and his brother, Edward Beauchamp PIERCE, Esq.(b. ABT 1867) was a VP of the Chicago and Rock Island RR in 1910. The PIERCES had moved down from IN to the Oxford, MS area before the CW where they tied up with the BEAUCHAMP family (originally from NJ) that had migrated down to north-central GA and then to MS and later, Van Buren, Crawford County, AR. One of their PIERCE siblings, Eula PIERCE born 1875 married Dr. Matthew Shrewsbury DIBRELL of Van Buren, AR BEF 1900. I also know that Eddie PIERCE was an assistant to the President of the University of Mississippi and attorney. His younger brother, Willie PIERCE, probably also a graduate of the University of MS, married my aunt, Mary RICHTER, in 1900 in Madison. He was then an executive with the S. A. TURNELL Company in Madison. When Willie died in 1910, due to complications of stomach surgery at a hospital in Rochester, MN, his body was brought back to Madison, Morgan County, GA to be buried beside his late wife in the RICHTER family plot, on the personal train of his brother, then a VP of the Rock Island RR and living in Chicago. All I have been able to find out about this PIERCE family is the boys had an uncle, Edward PIERCE, of Hattiesburg in 1910, who had helped raise these boys have the death of their father. This uncle also stood up with his nephew, William James PIERCE, in Madison in 1900 when Willie married Mary RICHTER. All of this is documented in various obits and wedding announcements, copies of which I have in my possession. I also clean off Mary and Willie's tombstones when I clean off the tombstones of my other RICHTER ancestors and I have a picture of Mary but not Willie. Back to Rev. Russell RENEAU. In 1852 he left the Methodist Church for about four years before returning in 1856 as head of African Missions in Ft. Smith, AR, which is also located in Crawford County. In 1860 he is appointed PE in the Clarksville, AR District, a position he held until his death in 1865, age 58, in Brownstown, Sevier County, AR. I have no knowledge of what he was doing in Brownstown, Sevier County, AR on 1 Sep 1865 when he died although it is located pretty close to Ft. Smith, in the southwestern part of the state. Clarksville, however, is located in the north-central part of the state a 100 or more miles from Brownstown, AR, where the Reneau-Richter Bible, the personal Bible of Rev. RENEAU, states he died. This leather bound Bible, published by the ME Church in 1836, is in my possession. It weighs about 20#. <grin> I also do not know where Russell was buried because in the fall of 1865 newspaper had not yet resumed publication after the CW. I also do not know where my GGF, Robert W. DANIEL, Esq. (1809-1865), was buried and he died just a little over two months later on 23 Nov 1865, according to the Bible. I know where his brother, James L. DANIEL (1814-1857) was buried, Bethany Methodist Church Cemetery, Wadley, Jefferson County, GA but RWD is not buried there. I have two hypothesis for RWD's death. One, he died fighting with Gen. Beverly Daniel Evans's militia troops at Griswoldville, Jones County, GA on 22 Nov 1864, as they sought to protect the RR from Macon to Savannah from Union forces and the date listed in the Bible is just off by one year and a day. Or, he was sent by his wife, Mary Jane, to AR to recover her father's body, as well as her mother, and he died in transit. Either one of these two theories are plausible explanations, since RWD was not buried with his brother, James, and his DANIEL family in Wadley. I also know Russell's wife, Elizabeth STOCKTON, was recovered by someone and was living with my grandparents, John C. RICHTER, Sr. and her grand daughter, Alice Elizabeth Daniel RICHTER (1854-1924), in Madison, GA in 1880. Some time in the late 1880's Elizabeth went to visit her daughter, Mary Jane RENEAU (1830-1912), who was then living in Glen Rose, Somervell County, TX with her second husband, Professor Winfield Montgomery RIVERS (1824-1905), and she died out there and was buried in Glen Rose, TX. RIVERS, a graduate of the University of Charleston, was out of the prominent Francis RIVERS family of James Island, SC, right outside Charleston. RIVERS's brother, Dr. William B. RIVERS (1827-1879) married the daughter of a Methodist minister and is buried in Oxford, Newton County, GA with all of the other Methodist Big Whigs. Dr. RIVERS's father-in-law was Rev. Edward Lloyd THOMAS of the GA Conference and his brother-in-law was Gen. E. L. THOMAS, Jr. CSA. . Rev. Thomas Means RENEAU RS-VA (1760-1840) and his wife, Jane RAMSEY, moved to Blue River TWP, Harrison County, IN sometime in the 1840's, as the story goes. His grave, near Friendship, IN, was marked in Oct 2002 by the DAR, with full military honors provided by the honor guard from the SAR. His brother, Francis RENEAU, also a minister, as well as RS-VA. married Lydia SEVIER, d/o Gen. John SEVIER, the first governor of TN. Does any of this sound familiar? John R. Clarke Thomasville, GA ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vickie Lomon" <vlomon@yahoo.com> To: <DANIEL-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, April 26, 2004 10:54 PM Subject: [DANIEL-L] Francis Daniel, Joesph Daniel, Sherrod Mayes, Issac Barton, Hamblen county, TN settlers Perhaps someone may reconize some of the names mentioned above that may lead to some clues. HAMBLEN COUNTY HAMBLEN COUNTY is a small county lying along the left bank of the Holston River, and divided into two almost equal parts by the East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia Railroad. It was formed from fractions of Jefferson, Grainger and Hawkins Counties. The first settlement in this territory was made in 1783 by Robert McFarland and Alexander Outlaw, both of whom located at the "bend of Chucky". Shortly after Gideon, Daniel and Absalom Morris settled in the vicinity of where Morristown now is. They were brothers, and had been among the first settlers on the Watauga. Gideon Morris had three sons; John, Gideon and Shadrach, all of whom after marriage remained In the neighborhood of the old homestead. John lived south of the present town in a house still occupied by one of his descendants and Gideon west of town on what is now known as the Hobb's place, while Shadrach, who subsequently removed to Indiana, located on the site of Rheatown. In 1792-93 a road was laid out through what is n! ow Hamblen County, and extended to the western limits of Jefferson County, where it was met by the road from Knoxville. This road afterward formed the line between the counties of Jefferson and Grainger, and became a section of the great stage route from Knoxville to Abingdon, VA. It was along this road that most of the early settlers located. Beginning at Morristown and going eastward was William Chaney, who lived on the lot now occupied by Joseph Brown's residence; Thomas Daggett, a little less than a mile beyond, and Phelps Read, about two miles east Morristown. In the neighborhood of Read were John Crockett, Richard Thompson and Isaac Martin. Still farther to the east were Isaac Barton, Joseph Shannon and James McGhee. In the vicinity of Russellville and Whitesburg were Samuel Riggs, James Roddye, Caleb Witt, William Pulliam, William B. Roddye and Jesse Hoskins. Daniel Taylor located on the Holston River at Marshall's Ferry. Sherrod Mayes and James Shields also lived on the Holston. John Evans was one of the first to locate on Panther Creek. Jesse Cheek settled at what is known as Cheek's Cross Roads, where he carried on a store for many years. A store was also opened there some time prior to 1810 by Deaderick & Wendell. About 1835 P. B. Anderson and James W. Deaderick, ex-chief Justice of Tennessee, and G. A. & G. H. Cheek were engaged in business at the same place during the thirties. An early settler just southwest of Morristown was Clisbie Riggs, who ran a still-house, while about three miles northwest were the Noes, David and John. Of the pioneers of the county, the one in whom the greatest interest centers is David Crockett, the son of John Crockett, but as a sketch of his life appears in another chapter of this work it will not be repeated here. When a lad he came to the county with his father's family, and remained until two or three years after his marriage. The records of Jefferson County show that on October 21, 1805, he was licensed to wed Margaret Elder, and that on August 12, 1806, he received a license to marry Polly Findlay. The first named lady, for reasons not now known, refused to proceed with the marriage after all of the preliminaries had been arranged. Polly Findlay was the daughter of a respectable farmer residing In the vicinity of what has since been known as Findlay's Gap. James and William Roddye, mentioned above, were both prominent citizens. The former was a member of the convention which formed the constitution of the State of Franklln, and after the fall of the FranklIn government, was a representative to the Legislature of North Carolina. Upon the organization of Jefferson County he was elected register, and in 1797 became a member of the State Senate. William Roddye was a member of the Constitutional Convention of 1796 from Jefferson County Caleb Witt and Isaac Barton were among the earliest of the pioneer Baptist preachers of East Tennessee. Some time prior to 1794 they organized Bent Creek Church, near Whitesburg. In that year it had a membership of fifty-one, and was represented In the Holston Association by James Roddye, Isaac Barton and Caleb Witt. In 1804 the church known as Bethel South, now the Morristown Baptist Church, was organized by Isaac Barton. The first Methodist Church in the county was probably organized at "Read's Meeting-House," near Phelps Read's. About 1815 a campground called Sulphur Spring was established four miles south of Morristown. Among the original campers were Solomon Wyatt, Francis Daniel, Sherrod Mayes, Benjamin McCarty and Joseph Daniel, with their families. In 1825 a Methodist Church was built at Russellville, which was then just beginning to assume the importance of a village. Among the members were Clisbie Austin, Paul Potter, Henry Stewart, William Pulliam, Jacob Frizzle, ! Hugh Cain and John Miller. A log house was at first erected, and was used until a short time prior to the civil war, when it was replaced by a brick. In 1832 the Presbyterians organized a church known as Bethesda, a short distance west of Russellville. For several years Russellville remained the only village in the territory now embraced in Hamblen County. Some time about 1830 a paper-mill, of extensive proportions for that day, was put into operation by Samuel and Milton Shields, about three miles north -east of Morristown. It, with a store or two, was carried on there for several years. About 1820 Martin Stubblefield, one of the early settlers of Grainger County, near the old County Line Church, removed to Morristown and built a house near where the depot now is and where he continued to reside until his death. He had several daughters, one of whom married Henry Countz, and another, William Chaney, Jr. Although from the first settlement of the county, the neighborhood was known as Morristown, it was not until 1833 that a post office was established there. At the same time a store was opened by John M. Coffin in the house now occupied by A. H. Gregg as a residence. At a little later date Jehu Morris began business on the opposite side of the street in a building standing upon the lot where D. Pence & Co's. store now is. These merchants were succeeded by Drury Morris & Co., and Read & Noe, afterward Cocke, Read & Co. During the decade preceding the civil war the village developed into a town, and was incorporated. Its growth was greatly promoted by the buildi! ng of the East Tennessee & Virginia Railroad, which was chartered in 1852 and completed In 1858, the last spike having been driven on May 14 of that year. In 1856 or 1857 the construction of the Cincinnati, Cumberland Gap & Charleston Railroad was begun, but no part of it was completed until 1867. Among the merchants of Morristown from 1855 to 1862, besides these mentioned were J. M. Mims, J. W. Nicodemus, M. Carriger & Bros., Sawyers & Jackson, and J. W. Clyne. During this period a large steam flouring-mill was erected by a stock company composed of several of the leading business men. A steam saw mill and a machine shop were also put into operation In 1857 a newspaper, the American Statesman, published by F. M. Wylie and H.C. Craig, was removed to Morristown from Dandridge. They continued its publication about one year. Mr. Wylie then procured the services of Rev. W. C.

No county buildings were erected until 1874, when a handsome and substantial brick courthouse was built at a cost of $21750. The commi! ssioners appointed to superintend its erection were R. M. Barton, J. C. Tate, J. C. Hodges, John Murphey and Joseph Eckle. In 1877 a jail was completed at a cost of about $3,000, and in 1886 a farm of over 100 acres, located In the Fifth Civil District, was purchased for a poor-asylum, but, notwithstanding these heavy expenditures, the county is entirely free from debt.

Vickie, I am not a PONDER descendant. The only connection I have to them is my father married one as his first wife. I know some of the PONDERS migrated from York County, SC to Wilkes County, GA and then on to Troup County, GA and back again to Morgan. The PONDERS lived in Rutledge, Morgan County, GA, really Fair Play which is almost in Walton County, and they were one of the wealthiest families in the county. John R.

Perhaps someone may reconize some of the names mentioned above that may lead to some clues. HAMBLEN COUNTY HAMBLEN COUNTY is a small county lying along the left bank of the Holston River, and divided into two almost equal parts by the East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia Railroad. It was formed from fractions of Jefferson, Grainger and Hawkins Counties. The first settlement in this territory was made in 1783 by Robert McFarland and Alexander Outlaw, both of whom located at the "bend of Chucky". Shortly after Gideon, Daniel and Absalom Morris settled in the vicinity of where Morristown now is. They were brothers, and had been among the first settlers on the Watauga. Gideon Morris had three sons; John, Gideon and Shadrach, all of whom after marriage remained In the neighborhood of the old homestead. John lived south of the present town in a house still occupied by one of his descendants and Gideon west of town on what is now known as the Hobb's place, while Shadrach, who subsequently removed to Indiana, located on the site of Rheatown. In 1792-93 a road was laid out through what is n! ow Hamblen County, and extended to the western limits of Jefferson County, where it was met by the road from Knoxville. This road afterward formed the line between the counties of Jefferson and Grainger, and became a section of the great stage route from Knoxville to Abingdon, VA. It was along this road that most of the early settlers located. Beginning at Morristown and going eastward was William Chaney, who lived on the lot now occupied by Joseph Brown's residence; Thomas Daggett, a little less than a mile beyond, and Phelps Read, about two miles east Morristown. In the neighborhood of Read were John Crockett, Richard Thompson and Isaac Martin. Still farther to the east were Isaac Barton, Joseph Shannon and James McGhee. In the vicinity of Russellville and Whitesburg were Samuel Riggs, James Roddye, Caleb Witt, William Pulliam, William B. Roddye and Jesse Hoskins. Daniel Taylor located on the Holston River at Marshall�s Ferry. Sherrod Mayes and James Shields also lived on the Holston. John Evans was one of the first to locate on Panther Creek. Jesse Cheek settled at what is known as Cheek's Cross Roads, where he carried on a store for many years. A store was also opened there some time prior to 1810 by Deaderick & Wendell. About 1835 P. B. Anderson and James W. Deaderick, ex-chief Justice of Tennessee, and G. A. & G. H. Cheek were engaged in business at the same place during the thirties. An early settler just southwest of Morristown was Clisbie Riggs, who ran a still-house, while about three miles northwest were the Noes, David and John. Of the pioneers of the county, the one in whom the greatest interest centers is David Crockett, the son of John Crockett, but as a sketch of his life appears in another chapter of this work it will not be repeated here. When a lad he came to the county with his father's family, and remained until two or three years after his marriage. The records of Jefferson County show that on October 21, 1805, he was licensed to wed Margaret Elder, and that on August 12, 1806, he received a license to marry Polly Findlay. The first named lady, for reasons not now known, refused to proceed with the marriage after all of the preliminaries had been arranged. Polly Findlay was the daughter of a respectable farmer residing In the vicinity of what has since been known as Findlay's Gap. James and William Roddye, mentioned above, were both prominent citizens. The former was a member of the convention which formed the constitution of the State of Franklln, and after the fall of the FranklIn government, was a representative to the Legislature of North Carolina. Upon the organization of Jefferson County he was elected register, and in 1797 became a member of the State Senate. William Roddye was a member of the Constitutional Convention of 1796 from Jefferson County Caleb Witt and Isaac Barton were among the earliest of the pioneer Baptist preachers of East Tennessee. Some time prior to 1794 they organized Bent Creek Church, near Whitesburg. In that year it had a membership of fifty-one, and was represented In the Holston Association by James Roddye, Isaac Barton and Caleb Witt. In 1804 the church known as Bethel South, now the Morristown Baptist Church, was organized by Isaac Barton. The first Methodist Church in the county was probably organized at "Read's Meeting-House," near Phelps Read's. About 1815 a campground called Sulphur Spring was established four miles south of Morristown. Among the original campers were Solomon Wyatt, Francis Daniel, Sherrod Mayes, Benjamin McCarty and Joseph Daniel, with their families. In 1825 a Methodist Church was built at Russellville, which was then just beginning to assume the importance of a village. Among the members were Clisbie Austin, Paul Potter, Henry Stewart, William Pulliam, Jacob Frizzle, ! Hugh Cain and John Miller. A log house was at first erected, and was used until a short time prior to the civil war, when it was replaced by a brick. In 1832 the Presbyterians organized a church known as Bethesda, a short distance west of Russellville. For several years Russellville remained the only village in the territory now embraced in Hamblen County. Some time about 1830 a paper-mill, of extensive proportions for that day, was put into operation by Samuel and Milton Shields, about three miles north -east of Morristown. It, with a store or two, was carried on there for several years. About 1820 Martin Stubblefield, one of the early settlers of Grainger County, near the old County Line Church, removed to Morristown and built a house near where the depot now is and where he continued to reside until his death. He had several daughters, one of whom married Henry Countz, and another, William Chaney, Jr. Although from the first settlement of the county, the neighborhood was known as Morristown, it was not until 1833 that a post office was established there. At the same time a store was opened by John M. Coffin in the house now occupied by A. H. Gregg as a residence. At a little later date Jehu Morris began business on the opposite side of the street in a building standing upon the lot where D. Pence & Co's. store now is. These merchants were succeeded by Drury Morris & Co., and Read & Noe, afterward Cocke, Read & Co. During the decade preceding the civil war the village developed into a town, and was incorporated. Its growth was greatly promoted by the buildi! ng of the East Tennessee & Virginia Railroad, which was chartered in 1852 and completed In 1858, the last spike having been driven on May 14 of that year. In 1856 or 1857 the construction of the Cincinnati, Cumberland Gap & Charleston Railroad was begun, but no part of it was completed until 1867. Among the merchants of Morristown from 1855 to 1862, besides these mentioned were J. M. Mims, J. W. Nicodemus, M. Carriger & Bros., Sawyers & Jackson, and J. W. Clyne. During this period a large steam flouring-mill was erected by a stock company composed of several of the leading business men. A steam saw mill and a machine shop were also put into operation In 1857 a newspaper, the American Statesman, published by F. M. Wylie and H.C. Craig, was removed to Morristown from Dandridge. They continued its publication about one year. Mr. Wylie then procured the services of Rev. W. C. Graves, as the editor of a paper known as the Religious Intelligencer; it was devoted mainly to religious subjects, but contained a secular department. The first number appeared April 16,1858. Soon after Mr. Wylie was succeeded by W. E. M. Neal and J, De M. Roberts, as publishers, but no change was made in the editorial management. In the early part of 1861 the name was changed to the Holston Intelligencer, and so continued until its suspension the following June. The first school of importance in Morristown was opened about 1850 in the building now occupied by the girl's high school. Among the first teachers were S.D. Miles, John Portrum, Prof. Hodges and John N. Southern. Since the close of the war Morristown has grown steadily In population and wealth. During the past two or three years the growth has been remarkably rapid, the population having very nearly doubled in that time. The first firms to resume business after the close of hostilities in 1865 were Waggoner & Bewley and Capt. James A.' Bird. Among others who succeeded were P. Smith & Co., W. T. Gill, Brown & Noe and Morris, Kidwell & Co The mercantile interests of the present time are represented by G. B. McCrary & Co., J. N. Hilt & Co., D. Pence & Co., Marsh, McCord & Co., Brown & Stubblefield, Goodson & Legg, Van Hess & Bro., Craig Holley & Craig and S. B. McCrary, general merchandise; W. M. Wilmeth, Allen Davis & Co., C. C. Johnson & Sons, Henry Sanders and W. W. Williams, groceries; Carriger, Roberts & Co. and J. S. Davis, drugs; G E. Spence, hardware; W. T. Rippetoe and A. M. Sanders, stoves and tinware; A. H. Gregg, agricultural implements, and J. N. Shipley saddle and harness. The manufactories consist of a large steam flouring mill with a capacity of 100 barrels per day, owned and run by G. B. McCrary and R. L. Gaut; a sash, door and blind factory, operated by H. Loop, and a carriage factory conducted by H. L. Witt. A stove foundry is in the process of erection (?) stock company. The town also contains two banks. Lookout Bank, with a capital stock of $50,000, was organized on May 4, 1874, with G. T. Magee as president and John Murphey, cashier. The present president is Judge James G. Rose. In 1885 the First National Bank of Morristown was organized, with a capital stock of $50,000. It is one of the best banking institutions in East Tennessee, being ably and carefully managed. The officers are Maj. G. W. Folsom, president, and G. S. Crouch. cashier. The first newspaper published at Morristown after the war, was the Morristown Gazette, established by W. W. Neal in 1866. In October of the following year he sold It to L. P. & G. E. Speck, who continued its publication until September, 1873, when it was purchased by the present editor and proprietor, John E. Helms. It is ably edited, and ranks among the best weekly papers In the State. In 1883, the Tennessee Pilot, a Republican paper, was established by C. H. Darlington, who has since successfully continued its publication. On January 11,1887, the first number of the Semi-weekly Democrat appeared. It is edited and published by -----Jones and -----Hill, and is constantly growing in popularity. Several other papers, among which were the Baptist Reflector and the Holston Methodist have been published at Morristown, but none have continued but for a short time. The oldest church organization in Morristown is the Baptist. it being a successor of the old Bethel South. The new house of worship was erected in 1868, the prime movers in the work being Drury Morris and Curtis Eames. In 1860 the members of the Methodist Episcopal Church South began the erection of their present church, which, how-ever, was not completed until after the close of the war. In 1870 the Presbyterians erected a large and commodious brick church. This was accomplished largely through the efforts of Rev. W. H. Smith, who has since remained the honored pastor of the church. Recently the members of the Lutheran and of the Methodist Episcopal Church edifices have each erected a commodious church edifice. The act creating a new county to be named Hamblen in honor of Hezekiah Hamblen, of Hawkins County, was passed May 31, 1870, and William Courtney, W. S. Reese, W. C. Witt, and James C. Davis, of Jefferson County, and John C. Tate, C. J. Burnett and Rufus E. Rice of Grainger County, were appointed to organize the county. At the regular election in August, the county officers were elected, and on the 3d of October, 1870, the county court was organized in an old store house in Morristown. The justices present were Samuel P. Hixon, L. D. Milligan, L. F. Leiper, C. L. Gregory, George McFarland, R. M. Hamblen, A. J. Donelson, Alexander Williams, Jonathan Noe, G. W. Carmichael, C. J. Burnett, D. S. Noe, R. P. Sharp, William Felknor, S. M. Heath, James Hale, William B. Ninnie, S. J. Couch, I. P. Haun and Samuel Smith. L. F. Leiper was chosen chairman. No county buildings were erected until 1874, when a handsome and substantial brick courthouse was built at a cost of $21750. The commi! ssioners appointed to superintend its erection were R. M. Barton, J. C. Tate, J. C. Hodges, John Murphey and Joseph Eckle. In 1877 a jail was completed at a cost of about $3,000, and in 1886 a farm of over 100 acres, located In the Fifth Civil District, was purchased for a poor-asylum, but, notwithstanding these heavy expenditures, the county is entirely free from debt. The officers of the county since Its organization have been as follows: Clerks of the county court-James Leftwich, 1870-72; D. W. C. Davis, 1872-78; H. Williams, 1878. Clerks of the circuit court-T. C. Cain, 1870-78; George S. Crouch, 1878-86; Leon B. Smith, 1886-. Sherriffs-G. H. Boyd, 1870-76; George Livingston, 1876-78; Harvey L, ------1878-80; W. H. Mays, 1880-86; J. F. Hays, 1886-.

Hi Robert, www.rootsweb.com/~tnclaibo/ has lots of TN genealogy for all counties, and also shows The Claiborne County Pioneer Project of which DennyBrubaker and wife Marla are the owners. His e-mail: DennyBru@aol.com is listed at rootsweb.com/~tnclaibo/ with information about Denny's Project. Just request any of your surnames who were in that vicinity. I did for my Daniel/Daniels, Mays/May/Maize/Mayes and Lane, Beagles and received lists with many names and it includes my deceased ancestors, also. By the way, I just have to tell you about my wetwo! Our e-mail was rethanss@ekucolonel.com (it is dead now but I guess it still shows up on boards etc. that I have visited and can't remember to change the address.) It was for retired Hansson (my husband was retired from Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond, KY and ekucolonel was for the universitie's football team.) We started receiving so much spam and porn etc. that I had to change it. I decided on wetwo (meaning my husband and myself we two). I sent it to my two daughters (one daughter married and lived in Sweden 10 years and both daughters studied near Stockholm when they were 18 yrs. old for one year so they read, write and speak perfect Swedish.) My husband is from Sweden also. Anyway , I got a phone call from younger daughter, Kris, quickly after she received my new e-mail. She said: "When I received your e-mail I wondered why in the world you used wet wo!" Then she said she tried spelling it backwards to see if it was something she knew. Then she tried to think if it was a Swedish word. Finally she realized what it was!! She laughed and laughed and told me I should have put a hyphen between we and two. :O) Several people e-mailed to ask about wet wo and my husband was talking to SAS about a trip to Sweden on May 5, 2004 and gave our e-mail. When this man called he told my husband: " I already have your wet wo e-mail." My husband never explained it to him. You can be sure if I ever change it again I will think about it a bit before I send it off! I suspect you did immediately realize it was we two. Very best wishes, Evelyn Daniel/Daniels Hansson Richmond, KY (not wet wo)
