Dear Thomas, Our respective Blount Co. , TN Davises may not be connected, but perhaps knowing the difference between them will help each of us, respectively, in our further Blount Co. Davis research. If you wish to take a look, my Blount Co. Davis families are listed on my genealogy web site, whose URL is below. Do you know where your William Davis came from, or who his father was??

Hello Members, I was hoping one of you might be researching the ARNOLD's and MCREYNOLDS of Blount, Co. TN. I am particularly interested in Thomas ARNOLD ( abt. 1815- abt. 1890) and Annie McREYNOLDS (abt. 1831- March 17, 1902) This couple married in 1850 in Washington Co. VA. Thanks for your time and interest. Deborah

I am researching the line of William (Billie) Davis (b. ca 1786, Va; d. 18 May 1862, Blount Co.).He married first Anna Connor, the daughter of Terence Connor, on 5 June 1822, Blount Co. His children by his first wife were: 1. John E. Davis (b. 26 March 1823, d. 11 Feb. 1896, Blount Co.) 2. Torrence O'Connor Davis (b. 30 May 1825, d. 3 Sept 1899, Blount Co.) 3. William P. Davis (b. 11 January 1899) 4. James Parks Davis (b. 15 January 1830, d. 14 July 1910) 5.. Mary Ann Davis (b. 8 August 1831, d. ca 1907) 6. Samuel Davis (b. ?, d. ?) 7. Thomps (Thompson?) Davis (b. ?, d. ?) Following the death of Anna Connor Davis around 1835, William Davis married Mahala Goodman (b. ca 1794, d. 4 Sept 1863) on 8 February 1838 in Blount Co.; they had one son: 8. Henry Tolbert Davis (b. 25 January 1842, d. 15 January 1915). I would like to determine all the descendents of William Davis through these various lines. If any of these names look familiar please contact me. Also, if anyone has any data on the Connors and Goodmans of Blount Co., please contact me. Other names I am researching from the east Tennessee/Blount Co. area:Bolinger (or Bollinger), Boatman, Cox, Gibson, and Harris. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thomas Pinkney Davis

Is there an 1840 census available for Blount County? I am trying to find Ann Turnbill/Turnbull. She is listed in the 1830 census as head of household. Any help will be greatly appreciated!! Shirley

Greetings, I am doing research on the ancestors and descendants of BRADY MAYFIELD who appears in the 1810 Pendleton District Census in SC and in the 1830 Knox Co., TN census--seemingly the only Mayfield family in the early 1822-1860 (or thereabouts) period of Knox Co. and Blount Co. Specific to Blount Co., I am looking for the following individuals/families who I believe were likely a part of Brady's family. --(A.) JAMES MAYFIELD [b: abt 1822]--m: MARY HOOD on 11 Feb 1847 in Blount Co. TN which is adjacent to Knox Co. James and Mary appear in the 1850 Blount Co. census [both 28 b: TN] and in the 1860 Blount Co. census [both 38]. In the 1860 census a SARAH MAYFIELD age 17 is living with them. Could this James be BRADY's son who is listed in the census as born:1820-1825?? --(B.) In 1840 NANCY MAYFIELD appears in the census for Blount Co., TN--possibly as the head of a household, I'm not sure, I'm only working from an index. Could she be the widow of Brady Mayfield? --(C.) NANCY MAYFIELD--m: JAMES POE on 25 Mar 1841 in Blount Co., TN. Is this another missing child of the Brady Mayfield family? Note: James [36] and Nancy [35] appear in 1850 Knox. Co., TN census with children: Martha Poe [7], Mary Poe [6], Sophronia Poe [1]. Nancy's age seems to fit that of the missing female child [1810-1815] in the census of Brady's family. Also Note: Mahala Mayfield's son WILLIAM C. PRICE married MARTHA A. POE in 1863!! [First cousins??] The following attempt to reconstruct BRADY MAYFIELD's family is found, along with much other info on this family, on my genealogical web site, whose URL is below, for any who care to consult it. I appreciate all help. Thank you. =============== BRADY MAYFIELD'S CHILDREN According to the 1810 Pendleton Dist.,SC & 1830 Knox Co., TN censuses: SC/1 male b: 1795-1800 [Horman ?] SC/1 female b: 1800-1810 [Minerva?--b: 1805, m: 1824, in OH by 1827] SC/1 female b: 1800-1810 [Malinda?--m: 1825, deceased by 1837?] SC/1 female b: 1800-1810 [Maria?--b: abt 1809, m: 1825] SC/1 female b: 1800-1810 [?--still in 1830 household] TN/1 female b: 1810-1815 [?--same as unknown one above, b: abt 1810?] TN/1 female b: 1810-1815 [Mahala?--b: 1813/1814, m: 1834] TN/1 female b: 1815-1820 [Mathursa?--m: 1851] [??late marriage, at age 31-36] TN/1 male b: 1820-1825 [?] TN/1 male b: 1825-1830 [William Carson ?] In 1830 Brady would have been 50-60 years old, and his wife abt 46-50, assuming Brady's wife is the same individual in both censuses. ================ Any help is appreciated.

Rev Isaac Anderson was a second cousin 5 times removed of mine.I have copies of a book on his life that has a partial list of ministers he trained. Your Alexander Gamble McNutt was listed. Linda A

Hi Cathy, You might have some luck by talking to a librarian at Maryville College. They, if anyone, should have the information or source I would think.
