Good morning, Does anyone on this list know where in Tennessee, or what area the Quaker's resided? I have an ancestor whose first name was Mourning and I was told that it was a Quaker name. Her last name, married was Mitchel/Mitchell and they moved to Alabama abt 1830. Any help or ideas would be much appreciated as this line has been very hard to trace. Thank you Cyndi _____ No virus found in this message. Checked by AVG - www.avg.com Version: 2013.0.2890 / Virus Database: 2639/6056 - Release Date: 01/25/13

The only Quaker settlements in Tennessee were in East Tennessee--Blount, Greene, Washington, Jefferson, and Knox counties. While some Quakers used "Mourning" as a daughter's name, I have found non-Quakers who also did. T.
