Is there anyone on the list who could look at pages 10 and 76 of the 1860 Blount Co. TN census for me? I'm interested in the HOODs listed on those two pages. I appreciate any help. Vickie Elam White

Hi List, Does anyone know anything about William or Elizabeth? WILLIAM TROTTER married ELIZABETH HART on October 4, 1821 in Blount CO. TN. Is it possible that Elizabeth was also married to a William Edward RAGSDALE in Monroe CO. TN in 1837? Is it also possible that Elizabeth had a son by William Trotter named WESLEY TROTTER? Thanks for any help on this. Nancy Helvey

I have located some of my family at a small cemetery in Maryville. This cemetery is on the North side of U.S. Hwy 321, just before the intersection of U.S. Hwy 129 bypass in S.W. Maryville. Graves of Nancy C. Clemens, Henry Clay Clemens and his wife Sarah Gibson Clemens are in this cemetery. What is the name of this cemetery? Does anyone have a listing of the graves in Magnolia Cemetery? Who is in charge of this cemetery? Does anyone know where the graves of Henry Clemens, Jr. and his son James Clemens are located? Thanks for any information! Kenneth George Clemens mitsuiwilm@email.msn.com

William Flynn b. 1810 d. 1887 married Catherine "Caty" HEADRICK b. abt. 1811 d. bef. 1875 married 25 Dec 1829 in Blount Co., TN. I believe Caty to be the daughter of John HEADRICK and Elizabeth MYERS. According to "Blount County History and It's People", William was a Baptist minister and held a degree to practice medicine. Family history has that he left Caty, with son, Samuel, and an "other woman" and moved to Banks Co., GA. There he changed his name and started another family. I would like to learn of this story and/or correspond with other descendants of William FLINN. Alice Blount Co., TN

Dear Listers, Could some kind genealogist explain this: Last known crt. record on my ancestor "Robert C. Don Carlos" was in 1818 Blount Co. TN. (no date of death). His widow "Elizabeth Badgett Don Carlos" remarried William Pryor 1830 Knoxville. Would she have to have him declared dead to have estate records filed and to remarry? Would that be in circuit court records or probate? History states he got into financial problems and drove horses to New Mexico and never heard from again.

Would Dorothy Grow please e-mail me regarding research on our ancestors in Blount Co. Jean

Harwell PROFFITT, native Blount Countian, died yesterday after a valiant struggle with bone cancer. Although Harrell PROFFITT did not know me, except as an employee of the greenhouse and nursery family he lastly married into, I knew him to be a man of upstanding quality. The company created by his father, D. W. PROFFITT, is now the owners of SAKS Inc. He gave a seminar I attended, about 1992, on how to greet and handle customers, and he made a point of teaching us that all people should be treated the same, regardless of how they appeared when entering the garden center I was employed at, for he had many times shopped there in his 'work clothes'. I knew as I listened, that this was a man who held a multitude of knowledge. His obituary can be read at www.thedailytimes.com/topofnews/hp32500.html If you have trouble with that one go to www.thedailytimes.com then go to obits. Alice Foster-Blevins Maryville, TN

East Tennessee Historical Society Hosts Genealogy Conference and Family Reunion Celebration The sons and daughters of Tennessee's pioneer founders are heading home this Memorial Day weekend. The East Tennessee Historical Society (ETHS) is hosting a weekend-long genealogy conference and family history fair, May 26-28, in Knoxville, Tennessee. A highlight of the conference will be a "family reunion" of members of the society's family heritage project, First Families of Tennessee (FFT)the debut of a new First Families of Tennessee book. Guests attending the conference will face a wide variety of options and activities, including a two-day genealogy conference featuring national and regional experts, a family history fair and street party in downtown Knoxville, motorcoach tours of historic East Tennessee sites, and a "family reunion" dinner at the home of Tennessee's first governor, John Sevier. The genealogy conference, held at Knoxville's Hilton Hotel, May 26-27, will examine Southeastern "roots and routes" - focusing on our ancestors and their migrations into and out of East Tennessee. Guest speakers will discuss a variety of topics including Scots-Irish research, Cherokee genealogy, Tennessee land records, Tennesseans in the California gold rush, frontier religion, and more. Experts will also discuss research topics in states associated with Tennessee's earliest residents, including Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia. Descendants of Tennessee's first families will celebrate the publication of the East Tennessee Historical Society's newest book, First Families of Tennessee: A Register of Early Settlers and Their Descendants. The book, a tribute to the ancestors enrolled in the FFT project, will include names and vital stats of the more than 2,000 ancestors enrolled in the project, along with a registry of FFT members. The book will be unveiled in a special ceremony and will be available for purchase at the history conference. Guest speakers will include Dr. George K. Schweitzer, Charles Sherrill of the Tennessee State Library and Archives, Russell Baker, Robert Davis, historian Walter Durham, and other experts on a variety of genealogical and historical topics. In addition to the multi-track genealogy conference, ETHS will host a genealogy and family history fair featuring mini-workshops for beginners, vendor displays, tours of local historic sites, carriage and trolley rides in downtown Knoxville, and living history demonstrations. The fair will also include a downtown street party outside the historical society's headquarters with live music, dramatic performances, historic reenactments, children's activities and more. While the theme of the weekend will be built around a family reunion of First Families of Tennessee members, attendance at all the events is open to anyone with an interest in history and genealogy. The First Families of Tennessee was founded by the East Tennessee Historical Society in 1993 to honor the state's early residents and to recognize their descendants. The program is open to those who can prove descent from a person living in any part of Tennessee by 1796. Housed in Knoxville's Calvin M. McClung Historical Collection, the First Families of Tennessee files provide a one-of-a-kind resource for historical and genealogical research. For additional information about ETHS, the First Families of Tennessee project, or the upcoming genealogy conference and First Families of Tennessee reunion, visit the historical society's website at www.east-tennessee-history.org # # #

My great Aunt Lucinda GRIDER/GRYDER/GUIDER married Bolden SCHRIMPSHIRE in Loudon Co., Tn. in 1870. Lucinda died in 1918. Lucinda's sister Sarah E. GRIDER/GUIDER/GRYDER lived off and on with her. In a deed from Monroe, Loudon or Blount county dated 1923 was for B. E. and Sarah E. SCHRIMPSHER. I am wondering if Bolden may have married Lucinda's sister after Lucinda died. Would someone see if they can find a marriage for B.E. or Bolden SCHRIMPSHIRE and Sara E. GRIDER/GRYDER or GUIDER probably in Monroe Co., Tn. but it could be Blount or Loudon also after 1918. Thank you so very much. Regina GRIDER Pipes regina.pipes@prodigy.net

Hi All, I'm new to the list. I'm trying to locate my grandmother's family and I've traced them to Maryville. Her name was Katherine WILLIAMSON (maiden). I do not know if she is still living but if she is she would probably be in her early 80s. Just recently, I located one of her relatives buried in WILLIAMSON Chapel Cemetary. Her name was Nancy V. Williamson LAMBERT dod: 6/14/1920. Nancy's husband was John Mills LAMBERT dod: 4/10/1940. Both Nancy and John are buried at Williamson Chapel Cemetary. This is the first true lead we've had in 30 yrs. of searching. I called Williamson's Chapel and the number has been changed to a non-published number. Directory assistance has no current number. Does anyone in the Maryville area know what has happened to this Church or to the records from there? I would appreciate any help anyone could offer. I'm trying to do this from SC. Thanks! Marian

Hi, all, I am trying to find where my ancestor, Michael Goodlink, is buried. He died in Blount County sometime between 1840 and 1846. I know he lived on a branch of Pistol Creek. I am also looking for his wife's burial site, Jane Goodlink, died between 1830 and 1840. Any help would be appreciated. Debi Krych Southlake, TX

Well, I got the long awaited Census 2000 form in the mail today. I can say that I am mightily disappointed in the amount of information that it collects. My descendants will not be able to find out very much about me when they look me up in the 2000 census about a hundred years from now. The form certainly wasn't designed with genealogist in mind. Name, Age, Date of Birth, Race and # of people in this household, whether we own our home with mortgage, without mortgage or rent, our phone # and our address as it is printed on the form. Not exactly overflowing with information now, is it? So we'd better keep collecting that family history and be thankful for family history programs and web sites to collect and store our genealogy. Someone suggested to the list not too long ago, to make a copy of the census form we fill out and keep it in or genealogy records. The short form, like I received, is hardly worth the effort, but you can print and fill out a copy of the long form for your own personal use. However, I found it ridiculously long with questions as impertinent as the ones on the short form are inadequate. You need the Acorbat Reader to view the forms found at: Long form: http://www.census.gov/pub/dmd/www/pdf/d-61b.pdf Short form: http://www.census.gov/pub/dmd/www/pdf/d61a.pdf Hester Janisch
