I have Hiram Hayes b 22 Sep 1814 d 5 Apr1864 Grainger Co., Tn mar 12 Jul 1836 Grainger Co., Tn Lurana Farmer, dau of John Farmer and Elizabeth Blakley. Hiram is son of Colbert Hayes and Nancy Gilbert. Hiram and Lurana had children: Henderson E., Wiley, America, George Barnet, John, Greenberry, Frederick, William B., Elizabeth, Nancy Catherine, James Alfred, Manerva, H. Andrew and Sarah . Grace McGinnis

Grace, you are such a help. I've had your two books on Grainger County cemetery records for years and would be lost without them. Do you know approximately where in Hamblen County? I have the Tennessee County Maps published by C. J. Puetz that has each County in Tennessee's map with cemeteries marked. Would love to know where the cemetery is at so that I can visit next year. Is Andrew's gravesite marked? All these years I assumed he was not removed. This is a pleasant surprise. Gail

Does anyone know anything about "SUNDERLAND" cemetery? Andrew Chamberlain was removed from Chamberlain cemetery in 1941 and his remains reburied in SUNDERLAND cemetery. Can't find in either volume of Grainger County Cemetery records. Anybody got a clue? Thanks, Gail

I seek ancestry of NANCY HAYES born NC 1828. Her mother might have been a Taylor. Nancy Hayes married MOSES BLACK HARRIS (B tn 1826) in Grainger County in 1847. They had moved to Arkansas Washington County by 1850, and bible record indicates they later moved to Missouri. Can anyone help me? Cecil Harris STVP56a@prodigy.com

I think you will find them tied into Gilbert Hayes and Miss Mallicoat line from Grainger Co. JEan

I have a Hiram Hayes married to Lurana Farmer dau. of John H. Farmer. I don't have his parents or children, but I do have several other Hayes' married into my line in Grainger County. The timeframe fits for the one you are looking for. Cheryl

Also be aware of the fact that MANY of the stones IN ROBERTS CEMETERY have been removed from the graves and piled in the middle of the cemetery. That was the case some years ago when I went there looking for the graves of my NASH ancestors.--Bill Bill Waller wrote: > > According to Grainger Co TN cemetery book, Roberts Cemetery: > Enoch L Ritter Tenn Cook 1 Cook Co.

Does anyone know anything about a Hiram Hayes born in North Carolina or Tennessee around 1825 or 1835, had a son named Andrew Hayes that was born in 1858 probably in Grainger County, Tennessee. wconn@mindspring.com

Thanks Bill, I am trying to patch things together and wasn't sure about those burial sites. I have been told that Fronie and Lennie's Father's name was Andrew Hayes and was born 1858 but I am not sure. -----Original Message----- From: Bill Waller <billiam@usit.net> To: TNGRAING-L@rootsweb.com <TNGRAING-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Friday, July 09, 1999 4:25 PM Subject: Re: [TNGRAING-L] Grainger County Hayes Surname >According to Grainger Co TN cemetery book, Roberts Cemetery: >Enoch L Ritter Tenn Cook 1 Cook Co.

Joyce Acuff married George Washington Harris in Grainger Co., July 20, 1839. Joyce was the daughter of Richard and Patsy Acuff. I would like to know the parents of George Washington Harris. Does anyone perhaps have a published marriage book? I've wondered if there could be another name on the license, a bondsman or something. Bonnie Reach, Alba, TX

Since you must go to the library for your research, please wait until you have others to look for me. I would like to know if there are records for Richard Acuff, who died in Grainger Co. Sept 7, 1836, as I was told, and his wife Patsy (Martha)Hailey Acuff, died Aug. 1, 11850, also in Grainger Co.

The only Howell from Grainger County is Jane O. Howell, born 1762, died 1843. Moved to New Prospect Baptist Cemetery, Grave #31. Cause of death unknown. There was no Benjamin Howell in any county. Carolyn

Carolyn I'm thankful for people who share their info with the rest of us. You didn;t find anything for me but the intent was there and for that I thank you.

I am posting this to the List as I was in the Hamblen Co. library yesterday to do lookups as I had promised all of you. The librarian was upset that she had gotten calls from everywhere about these records; people thinking the librarians could do lookups for them. I profusely apologized for us saying that I had volunteered to do lookups for these records and would contact the List to notify everyone. Please, please, please, do NOT CALL the Hamblen Co. library to ask about these records. I will be more than happy to do lookups for you if you will send your requests to me privately. My e-mail address is: toothie@planetc.com . As I told Mr. Cameron, the pages are copied and not very well. This looks like a copy of the originals that are in the Archives in GA. but they are readable. Those of you who have send requests, I am about halfway through the pages. The book is about 3 inches thick, including the accompanying cemetery plats. Most of the sites have several surnames, i.e. STUBBLEFIELD has 15 in one cemetery. Some cemeteries are private family cemeteries containing whole families. Some of the sad part is when the next of kin was asked where they wanted the remains reinterred, the answer was "remain". Even though Cherokee Lake has covered up the cemeteries, at least the plat shows where it was located if someone wants to go to that spot on the lake. Beginning in August, TVA starts to "draw down" the lake, meaning they open the gates and drain most of the lake for possible winter and springs floods. That was the reason for the tributary lakes, vs. the main stream lakes like Loudon in Knoxville which remains at the same level. By December, the Holston River is back in it's original channel for the most part. All the old homesteads are revealed again; foundations, parts of silos, etc. As for the cemeteries, I doubt there would be anything left, but the land is still there. This is getting over long. I apologize for taking up too much space. Forgive me for digressing from the purpose of this List, genealogy research. Cindy

Carolyn, I am so glad that you let us know that you have this book on the removal of graves in Tennessee. I would appreciate it if you would let me know if there is a Benjamin Howell listed in this book. He died in 1834 and was buried somewhere in Grainger Co. My sincere thanks. Jean
