I am interested in the Arnwine line from Grainger Co. Are any Arnwine families listed in the book. If so, I am very interested in purchasing the book. Thanks for the look-up. Lisa

Hi Ross, Do you have any additional info on the Hodges of Jefferson Co. that you mentioned in your note? I show a family with some common names that may be related. It looks as though you have Frances (?) Hodges as a widow of a Hodges, is that correct? Charles Hodges Sr. B. 1752 Commissioned Capt. Tenn.

Have you tried using the LDS Family History Centers? You don't say which town you're in, but I'm sure there's one fairly nearby. Karen

Lynda, Thank you so much for the good news! Can you tell me how much it costs and the address to order it from? Or who to contact? I would like to get one before they are sold out. In addition to some other lines, I have some Moore relatives in the Bradford family of Jefferson County, which was quite prominent in legal and political circles there in the early-mid 1800s. Also the Reese and Fain families, not to mention Camerons, too. There are several references to Bradfords in the Jefferson County history section of Goodspeed's 1887 History of Thirty East Tennesee Counties: p. 863: Clerks of the circuit court -- . . . N. B. Bradford, 1825-34; Theoderic I. Bradford, 1834-40; Benjamin Branner, 1840-1844; Theoderic I. Bradford, 1844-1856; . . .. Clerks and masters -- . . . William M. Bradford, 1851-57; . . .. Sheriffs -- James Bradford, 1807-39; A. K. Bradford, 1839-40; . . .. p. 860: In 1850 the Dandridge Female Academy was incorporated with H. J. Dick, W. R. Caswell, William Bradford, James Fuller, William D. Fain, George M. Simpson, James Scruggs, T. I. Bradford and James P. Swann as trustees. p. 858: Napoleon B. Bradford was an attorney at the Dandridge bar for some time. He served as clerk of the circuit court from 1825 to 1834, and had just been elected to the Legislature when he died. His cousin, William M. Bradford, was also a prominent member of the profession in Jefferson County. At the beginning of the war, he entered the Confederate Army, and was made colonel of the Thirty-first Tennessee Regiment. He is now a resident of Chattanooga. End of Goodspeed extracts. Because the 1860 census, gives Theo. (or Thomas) Bradford's age as 48, he could not be a son of Napoleon and Emily, so he may be a brother or another cousin of Napoleon. A. K. [Alexander Keith], who married Cleon's daughter, Margaret, is also mentioned above in the sheriffs list. Is the long-time sheriff, James Bradford, the father and/or uncle of these Bradfords (or their widows like Emily) who married into the Cleon Moore family? 2. ae.

A few of my Grainger (and Hawkins) County relatives moved over to Jefferson County. I am not on the Jefferson County list (can't keep up with all my listserve email as it is!) but was wondering if anyone here on TNGRAING-L has the Jefferson County Heritage/History book or knows if there are still copies for sale and how to get them. The Jefferson County web site is under construction and I thought I would try here before subscribing temporarily to TNJEFFER-L just to find out. Thanks much and sorry for this non-Grainger Co. query, but others may be interested as well. Ross Cameron

Could you please look to see if there are any Wollard/Woolard or Linkus/Linkous/Lincos (various spellings on this name) Thanks

There is lots and lots on Acuff...Billie McNamara's line is Acuff and she and several others really did a nice job on this line. There is about 12 pages with pictures on the Acuff line. You should difinitely get the book. (Wish it was my line as there is alot of info for you :-) I will look up your other lines also later tonight and let you know. Linda

There are 3 references to Seymours in the book and 4 main articles on Ritter along with a total of 11 other references. If your Ritters were from Grainger...it would be worth it to get the Hertiage book.

Hi John, Yes, there is an article in the Heritage Book on Vandergriff, submitted by yours truly. Would you like to have a copy of the article? Betty At 10:13 PM 08-28-1999 -0600, you wrote: >Linda, > >Anything on Atkins or Vandergriff ? > >Thanks >John > > >
