My ggg grandparents were Thomas Horn who married Elizabeth Knox the daughter of Joseph Knox. They were married in Giles County. So far I have had no luck finding any info on them. I would appreciate a lookup if it's not too much trouble.

It is a used copy that I had purchased over the 'net. Glued to one of the back pages is an obituary. I thought I would transcribe it & throw it out to the list, in case someone is related to this woman ( & if you are related to her, let me know...there are notations thruout the book, I'll transcribe them for you, as well). "Mrs. Gordon Rites Slated For Sunday Services for Mrs. Beulah McLaurine Gordon, 91, of 4203 Leland Lane, will be at 2:30 pm Sunday at the West End Methodist Church. Dr. Roy C. Clark and Dr. A.J. Walton will officiate. Burial will be in Lynnwood Cemetery, Lynville. Finley Dorris and Charlton Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements. Mrs. Gordon died Friday in a local infirmary after an extended illness. A native of Lynville, she was a daughter of the late DeWitt Franklin and Ella Heflin McLaurine. She was a descendent of John Laird, a prominent landowner in Giles County who was Lynn Creek's first postmaster. Her grandfather, the Rev. Rufus T.
