I'm so pleased to find a Cocke Co. list! My ancestors from the BOYDSTON, CHRISTIAN, FAUBION, FUGATE, HOLLAND families had moved to MO (Clay Co. area) in the years shortly before and after 1832, which means that many of the before-the-courthouse-burned records in Cocke Co. don't exist anymore. My 4th g-grandparents were William BOYDSTON (1753-1838) and Elizabeth CHRISTIAN (abt 1748-1844). They were in what is now Cocke Co. very early, around 1780. William was a Rev. War veteran of both VA & NC. Their four children grew up, married and started families of their own in TN: Nathaniel, b. abt 1780, who married Nancy FAUBION; Thomas, who married Elizabeth GREGG; Priscilla, who married Rev. Jacob FAUBION; and Sarah, who married John SHARP. Also, some of the children of Nathaniel BOYDSTON and Nancy FAUBION, my line, married FUGATES and HOLLANDS while still living in Cocke Co., so I could exchange quite a bit of information on most of those lines. On a trip through Cocke Co. several years ago, I was told that the BOYDSTONS lived down around the Del Rio area and (I think this is what I was told) on Long Creek. Old histories also say that William BOYDSTON lived first on the Nolichucky, where Indians attacked his fortified house, and that he sold it and moved after that. Is there anybody who now lives in those areas or is familiar with those neighborhoods, who could help me come closer to pinpointing exactly where they lived way back there before and after 1800?? Like every other family researcher who lives and breathes, I would very much like (assuming I ever get back to Cocke Co.) to see exactly where these forebears lived.
