Dear Thomas, I didn't mean to tantalize anyone by only providing partial information and witholding the rest. The fact is, I have no dates for the wills I listed, just those names. I don't really know what the "Pellissippian Journal" is. I found the name at the Ancestry.Com web site, as a source for Blount Co., TN wills. It noted that a library in Cincinnati, OH had copies of that journal. My brother is a minister in Ohio. On a trip to that area, he went down and looked at them, and sent me the information that I included in the email you saw. I think my brother said that journal was relatively simple. Another source has led me to wonder if that journal is from some local genealogical group in TN. Perhaps it is even from Blount Co. itself. That's all I know. Sorry I can't tell you more. Perhaps a web search would turn up more information on it. If I find out more from my brother, I will post it here. Good luck, Doug Showalter Rev.
