Gail In CA said " There is a family history on the TATE family in a book called "Leaves From > the Family Tree"." > > Deals with the TATES of Grainger County. > Great minds apparently think alike. <tee hee> I spent last night trying to dig out what I found on the Tates in "Leaves.. I thought that Debbie, and Jean B might find it of interest. Leaves From the Family Tree is based on a series of articles which appeared in a Knoxville newspaper in the 30s. It is an interesting colllection of Eastern Tennessee genealogical information. Included are early tax lists, articles on various surnames,etc, lists of revolutionary was pensioners, etc. I only seem to have the part of the article which concerns Edward and Mary Ann GRAY TATE. When I volunteered at my gen society library last summer, I hoped to get a little bit of my own research done in between waiting on "customers". The day I found the information on the Tates I had been hoping to get a look at the 1850 Grainger County census entries so I could get approximate birth dates for Mary Ann GRAY TATE and Elizabeth GRAY MALLICOAT. (Actually, I just remembered something! Isn't Elizabeth Mallicoat "yours", Jean??? I have been meaning to check something out....) Alas I had to keep the desk, the researchers arrived at once, and I was unable to get back to the readers all day!!I I started thumbing through "Leaves from the family tree and ran across the article on the TATES and inadvertently found what I was looking for, Mary Ann Tate's DOB. However, as I said I just seem to have the information on Mary Ann and Edward Tate and as I remember the article was several pages long. I am hoping to get to St. Joe sometime this week (It has been forever since I have been able to get to the library) and would be glad to check the article again.

Thanks to all you have contributed to the Lea Springs/Blaine information. My great-grandmother and grandmother were born in Lea Springs. Information passed on to me when I took over the family research was Lea Springs was just that and then was called Blaine. I have now a Tennessee Atlas and Gazetter which shows Lea Springs on the map as a separate place from Blaine. North of Blaine on 11W about two miles or so. It is good to know these are two separate places. I guess my next question would be, does Lea Springs still have folks living there? I would assume it does. I would very much like to take a drive there the next time I am in Grainger Co. I enjoy reading all the information and learning about the area where my family came from. Thanks to all of you. Rita

Debbie, Thank you. I'll look to see who these folks were, if I know. I had e-mails from Bob Puryear today, and turns out he has a good bit of Cardwell information as well. Thank you very much for "hooking us up." I believe we can help each other quite a bit.

I'm going to try to go to Rutledge this week. Would you like for me to pull the Reece Bowen marriage license and make a copy for you? Let me know. It depends on whether or not I work at my children's school if I go to Rutledge this week or not. Thanks! IMsMickey@aol.com

I looked at my book that I have transcribed from the Grainger Co. marriage licenses. I also had Reece Bowen married to Mary Moody 4-4-1825. I have transcribed 6 Bowen grooms and only 1 Bowers during the 1820's. These records are really in bad shape and the handwriting wasn't very good to begin with. I hope this helps. IMsMickey@aol.com

Thanks Mary,,that was my understanding too :-) But wanted to be sure,as I DO find,, that I get things wrong from time to time. John Linkes

I grew up in Blaine and now live about 30 minutes away now in Knox Co. Blaine was once called Blaine Crossroads but now it is just Blaine, Tn the zip code is 37709. When I was little there were all these communities in Grainger Co. such as Blaine, Richland, Indian Ridge, Lea Springs, Little Valley and much more. About a mile east on Rutledge Pike from Blaine is a little church called Lea Springs Baptist Church. At one time all these little communities had their own little school. Looking back at the birth records of my older Uncles and Aunts who were born in the 1920's it lists their birth place as Lea Springs. I'm not sure if that is where a midwife lived or a Doctor. I will try to find out. My oldest aunt living was born in 1923 and her birth records lists her birth place as Lea Springs. I know my grandparents always lived in Richland community so they had to travel a little to get to Lea Springs. I'm not sure if you could find Lea Springs on a map or not. It would be my guess the only way you could tell you were in Lea Springs is to be at the church. Thanks! Mickey

Hi, I don't know anything about the Blaine Crossroads, but as a teenager in the 40's growing up in Rutledge we would go to Lee Lakes to swim at one time there was a Hotel there and the Lake had a bath house you had to pay to swim. To go to the Lake we turned off 11W about half way between Red House and Blaine and I though that area was call Lee Springs. Hope this help a little. Mary

I also have Mary Cheshire married to Gilbert Patterson. On their marriage records it list Thomas Patterson as Bondsman. Thomas was my GGGgrandfather. I have found nothing that says Gilbert was a brother of Thomas. I have found several of Thomas' brother and sisters but none were Gilbert. Thomas' father was John. Thomas was born in Grainger Co. in 1797. Do you have any info on Gilbert such as brothers and sisters? Thanks! Mickey

Hi Folks, Just had a question about Lea Springs and Blaine. According to the TVA maps of the area that I have, Lea Springs is on Lea Creek and half way between Blaine and Red House (about 1-2 miles northeast of Blaine). When I was living there and doing my research on the Lincus/Linkous and Housewright families of Grainger County in 1980s, I asked at the Blaine Post Office & Blaine Community Library (and some old timers at the County Courthouse in Rutledge) where was Blaine Crossroads located? I was informed that Blaine was originally called Blaine Crossroads and that the "crossroads" was dropped at the turn of the century. If my maps are in error and what I was told is wrong,,then I would like to clear this up as I had Linkus/Linkous & Housewright family living at "Blaine Crossroads" in the 1870 & 1880 census. I don't mean to question anyone's facts, but just need some clarification on the subject for my family research. I have enjoyed everyone's postings on the Grainger Co. list as of late :-) The list seems we all have "come alive" since we last talked about the "old school records" (haha). When we all "talk" like this,, I come away with new bits and pieces of knowledge on the area and a bit more understanding on my own family. Thanks all, John Linkes :-))

For those of you who are unaware of it, you can order County maps from the Tennessee Department of Transportation Bureau of Planning and Development I always obtain these maps for counties where we are planning to visit cemeteries and other sites. They are a very valuable tool. Most are complete with legends that include schools, churches, cemeteries, post offices and rivers just to name a few. It also list railroad and improved and unimproved roads. While the cemeteries for the most part do not include the name of the cemetery, many times nearby roads or landmarks help to identify which cemetery you are looking for. In the case of Grainger County, if you have "Grainger County, Tennessee Cemetery Records South of Clinch Mountain" and "Grainger County, Tennessee Cemetery Records North of Clinch Mountain" compiled by Clarence and Stella Grace McGinnis they have already given instructions in their books on the location of the cemeteries. I have found these books one of the most important tools for my research in Grainger County. On our trips to Grainger County both the books and map always go with us. We have had little or no trouble locating the cemeteries with the exception of one. These are fairly large maps, used Christmas wrapping rolls are perfect to store them in. The only cemetery I have had trouble finding is the McConnell Family Cemetery. It is listed as being on the North side of Hwy. 11W about 2 1/2 miles west of Bean Station Baptist Church. Try as we have, we can't find it. I strongly feel that it is probably on private land. If anyone can help with this location, I'd appreciate it. We will be making our yearly trip back to Eastern Tennessee in May and I'd love to check the gravesites of Peter and Mary GODWIN to make sure the stones are still in good condition. Anyone wishing information on the how to obtain the maps, please contact me privately. Gail in Moreno Valley, Ca.
