If you go to Google and enter Robertsville Oak Ridge TN you'll get a very focused map. Zoom out to get a larger picture. Robertsville Middle School might give you a better map. You can zoom out to Anderson County from Yahoo but I don't think you can from Google. Robertsville is probably 20 miles or so from Lake City. ----- Original Message ----- From: Carolynwha@aol.com To: TNANDERS-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, January 17, 2005 10:42 PM Subject: [TNANDERS-L] Robertsville Thank you for all the responses!!

Carolyn Whaley Robertsville is a community in the city of Oak Ridge. I attended Robertsville many moons ago, when it was still a junior high as opposed to a middle school. As a previous post stated Robertsville road pretty much parallels the Oak Ridge Turnpike. Lake City is not far from Oak Ridge, probably at most a half hour drive, leaving Oak Ridge and driving through Clinton. I am still looking for Seiber and Arthur information. Thanks! Marshall

Bettie and I are again trying to research our brick wall again this year! Our brick wall is the Roberts Family of Anderson County, TN. They married into the Pebley Family, Slover Family, Fowler Family, Johns Family & possibly other Families. Could any of you who are researching any of these Families Surnames, email back and maybe by putting our information together, can help each other and share information! Thanks so much!!

Dr. J. B Lynas and Son, Logansport, Ind. Gentlemen, For fifteen years I have suffered untold sufferings that no human being could tell, and for fifteen months I was not able half of the time to stand on my feet or do any housework. But I was like my others. I had tried several doctors and many kinds of medicine to cure female trouble, but none of them had ever done me any good. I had given up all hopes of ever being cured, but I was mistaken. And Doctor, thank God, I am on my feet and doing most of my work and I am twenty-five or thirty pounds heavier than I was six months ago. If the medicine had cost me $5 a bottle I would have paid it freely. I could say to all ladies suffering from female trouble to take Dr Lynas' Vegetable Compound and get cured. Mrs. Wm. Parks, Coal Creek. Tenn. Fort Wayne News, Fort Wayne, Indiana, July 11, 1912

Jerry: Who was your mother? My father grew up (til 'they' moved them out) in Elza Gate and/or Scarbrough. His grandmother's home place was where Tara Hills apartments now stand in the East end of Oak Ridge. My father talked a lot about Scarbrough and I believe that is where he went to school. There is a very old cemetery near Linden school--on the road that links Robertsville with Illinois Ave going north. The cemetery is beside a small church. My Foster ancestors are buried there. I don't recall others, but the Fosters and Wallaces were in the area as early as 1804. Not sure if they were in Robertsville at that time, however. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jerry Bryan To: TNANDERS-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, January 17, 2005 3:36 PM Subject: RE: [TNANDERS-L] Robertsville > Does anyone know if Robertsville Post Office was a town??

Thank you for any information! > Carolyn Whaley I think it's more accurate to say that Robertsville was a community, and that there was a post office in the community. In a way, there still is a Robertsville community and it's inside the Oak Ridge city limits. The site of the old Robertsville High School is now Robertsville Middle School and the school is on Robertsville Road. The area is just north of the Oak Ridge Turnpike. Robertsville Road sort of loops around, but it is basically parallel to and north of Oak Ridge Turnpike. My mother grew up going to the Scarbrough Grammar School and the Robertsville High School. She talks about people who lived "in Robertsville" and who lived "in Scarbrough". So I have asked her, *exactly* where was Robertsville and *exactly* where was Scarbrough? I get pretty vague answers. I think the answers are vague not because my mother doesn't know or doesn't remember, but rather because the answer really is vague. You have to remember that you could be served by the Robertsville post office without living "in Robertsville" or you could be served by the Scarbrough post office without living "in Scarbrough". I normally describe my grandfather's farm as being "in Scarbrough". Well, it was up on Chestnut Ridge, and when people talked about being "in Scarbrough" they probably meant being closer to the grammar school than my grandfather's farm was. Namely, they probably meant being close to the corner of Scarbrough Road and Bethel Valley Road. But anyway, I have found some records where my grandfather had a Scarbrough address and some records where he had an Edgemoor address, all on the same farm. Also, my g grandfather's farm was in Bear Creek Valley (current site of Y-12), and he had a Robertsville address. However, it seems to me that Bear Creek Valley is probably closer to "beautiful downtown Scarbrough" (meaning the corner of Scarbrough Road and Bethel Valley Road) than it is to "beautiful downtown Robertsville" (meaning the site of the old Robertsville High School).

NOW THE SOLDIERS They Adopt the Methods of Judge Lynch MORE LAWLESSNESS IN TENNESSEE. State Troops Take a Man from his House to "Avenge" the Death of a Comrade - A Miner Forced to Give Evidence by Being Strung Up - Probability of Further Bloodshed in the Coal Creek District. Knoxville, Aug. 11 Dick Drummond, the assassin of Private William Loughery at Briceville, Monday night, was taken from his boarding house and hanged from a high railroad trestle near that village. The deed is supposed to have been committed by a number of Fort Anderson soldiers, who were comrades of the murdered private. After the lynching Drummond was left hanging to the trestle until morning, when his body was cut down and the coroner's inquest held, which reported death at the hands of unknown persons. Miners Threaten the Military The affair created the greatest excitement in the mining districts, and many were the threats made against the soldiers. The evidence against Drummond was obtained by the stringing up of a miner named Elkins, who, to save himself from death at the hands of the soldiers, divulged the whole story, which implicated Drummond and a miner named Moore, the last named whom escaped. Dave Woods, a notorious character, was run out of the district to keep from being lynched. A Thousand Men on a Strike When the news of the trouble first became known in Knoxville, some excitement was caused and the universal opinion of all was that the labor riots of last summer are about on the eve of repetition. One thousand miners have gone out on a general strike from the thirteen mines located in and around Coal Creek and Briceville. Troops in Readiness to Move A dispatch received from Lieutenant Fiffe ? at Fort Anderson corroborates the above, and says that trouble is feared, though they are fully prepared to meet any emergency. Company D, of this city, is now in readiness and will go to Coal Creek on a moments notice. Davenport Daily Leader, Davenport, Iowa, August 11, 1893 John: What happened to Elkins after he ratted out Drummond? and what was Woods roll?
