    3. Cora, Give Libby the credit for the info below. She has done the research on this. Libby, Do have any info or knowledge about the postoffices that may have been at Branhum community? Or a post office named Pine Mountian. Or community by that name. I think they were probably the same and in the area around where the road from Jellicogoes across and gets to the foot of the Mt. In reseaerch does a post office appear, such as Census Records. Also I am interested in a post office location named Morrowville? Apost office by that name is listed in official records but I would like to know the exact location for these. THANKS!

Yes, most of the Carrolls of Sarah and Morton,Sr Carroll were born there and later they moved to Habersham. Elihuew's brother named James C born in 1857 on Stinking Creek like Morton and Mourning are buried in Hall Cemetery. James C. is my husband's Grandfather. He married Jane York and had 4 girls and died unk and then married Morning Branham in 1885; and had 5 boys-Wm,Lewis,Horace,George and Floyd. Floyd is my husband's father.We are wondering if the volumes of "Cemeteries and Tombstone Inscriptions From Campbell CountyTennessee by Paula Gammell and Edith W. Hutton" are still published and if so where might we purchase it and how much? I have a book by Edith W. Hutton with some cemeteries of Campbell County and wonder if it might be an older edition? You have been such a big help!!! Thanks and keep up the good work!
