The first book covers all the reservoirs as I understand it. It is an alphabetical listing rather than a listing by location or grave. Carolyn

<<COMPLETE SURNAME INDEX OF TVA GRAVE REMOVALS", published in 1989. The book is in very small print and 452 pages long and purported to be the official and un-official records of the TVA on grave removals, etc.>> << It is an alphabetical compilation of the 30,360 graves involved in the "removal" and/or "leave" records of the Tennessee Valley Authority. This company also publishes all the Reservoir Records on cemeteries in three volumes. >> What is the difference between the first book mentioned and the Reservoir Record books? The first one has all the names listed and the other ones are individual listing for each Reservoir?

Carolyn Woul you please look in the cemetery book you have and see if there are any Chesher/ Ceshire names in it?

Carolyn, I would so appreciate if you would check the TVA grave removals for any Easterly or Ealy/Ailey/Elys in Grainger Co. TN. Mostly around the 1840-1850 time frame. Thanks, Ann in Wisconsin

There is no Elizabeth G. (Shirley) Griffin listed. Carolyn

Carolyn, I am looking for only one name, Elizabeth G. (Shirley) Griffin. I can't find her grave any where, so maybe it was moved. Margie Wamak@aol.com

Hi Carolyn, Are you able to do look-ups?....I need to find some Roach, Owens and Galyon's that may have been moved, (they are not in any of the other cemetery listing , that I can find anyway) I can give You more specific names etc. If you have the time to do this?

Melissa, Perhaps Heath's Chapel and Noe's Chapel are one in the same. I wrote down two or three names from there when we visited several years ago. David W. Noe, 8 Jan 1853-17 Aug 1932: Eliza J. Noe, 2 Nov 1861-22 Sept 1914: Calvin M. Noe, 10 April 1878- 27 Mar 1911: Earl Lee, son of Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Noe, Dec 1907-Mar 1909. I have the name of Comfort Tate, wife of F.L.Wells, and then I have a Comfort Tate Noe. That is about it. Carolyn Carolyn

Nancy Lines (Lyons) and 2. Martha Jane Larrimore, Susannah who married William Needam, Eliza Jane who married George Washington Moore and Emeline or Eveline who disappeared. Any leads appreciated.

Jessie, I have more information on the Camerons you list. They are an uncle and his two nephews who were brothers. Frank was the youngest son of my g-g-g-grandparents, Absalom and Elizabeth (Gallion/Galyon) Cameron. William and Nelson were brothers, the sons of Frank's older brother, James Cameron, my g-g-grandfather. Frank was ill in Union hospitals at the end of the war and died a few months after returning home. He had never married as far as I can determine. Nelson died of illness during the war as you indicate. His military record shows that his father came and got the body and reported his son as single when he claimed the body. However, there is a marriage record and his widow filed for a pension. I'll send more on this later. William survived the war and shortly after the War moved to Lawrence County, Missouri, where his uncle Harden Cameron had moved many years earlier. William married, had a family, and died there. William's younger brother, my great grandfather Hardin Cameron, moved there in 1894. I have not entered all of Nelson's and William's military information yet as I have for Frank. Frank's age in his military record is incorrect according to his birthdate recorded in the family Bible. Here's is more data on them from my history file: *******appended file begins here******** 2. aj.

Lucinda Oakley Nelson Cameron, married Lucinda Oakley (1862) before joining his brother and uncle in Company C, 4th Tennessee Cavalry, in March 1863. He was promoted to corporal in July. In May 1864 he was hospitalized with measles and died 19 May 1864, at U. S. Army Hospital No. 19, Nashville, Tennessee, at the age of 19. I will check these dates since your record indicates he died in 1863. Like many East Tennesseeans, the Camerons were pro-Union during the Civil War as demonstrated by service in the Union army and the reimbursement my great great grandfather James Cameron, William and Nelson's father, received from the Southern Claims Commission for supplies taken by the 25th Army Corps. On November 25, 1863, General Wilcox*s troops took his 3-½ year old, iron gray mare for troops at Cumberland Gap. And, again, on December 10, 1864, Gen. Bainbridge*s troops took hogs, bacon, oats, fodder, cornmeal, wheat, flour, and an ax for troops garrisoned at Bean*s Station. The Confederates also took wheat and corn for which he was paid in Confederate money. The Camerons lived on a farm about 5 miles southeast of Rutledge, which is still owned by descendants. Just recently, I have made contact with descendants of his sister, Florence (Cameron) Mathes and from others in their ancestral line, whose research indicates that Absalom Cameron and his sister Florence, were first cousins of Charles Cameron, the father of Simon Cameron, Lincoln's first Secretary of War. You may add any of this you wish to your website for 4th Tenn. Cav. Ross Cameron >>> "Jessie Blalock" <jcblal@clark.net> 07/04/99 05:56PM >>> Greetings: I have a website devoted to this regiment at http://www.clark.net/pub/jcblal/tenn4cav/index.html and am in the process of transcribing the company rosters.

So, I would like to list them here, and anyone who has information to share about any of these individuals is most welcome to contact me, and I will add it to the website. ----- Frank CAMERON (b. 1837) Nelson CAMERON (b. abt 1845).

Does anyone have the parents of Christian Keller, born May 15, 1796, in NC, married Mary M. (Polly/Molly) Heifner before 1827 and died August 28, 1885, in Tennessee? Christian is listed in the Union County census, but cannot find out who his parents were. Thank you, Carol Parsons - PARSONS208@aol.com

Morning, I am new to the list. Researching HAMPTON in Grainger and surrounding counties. I have a FRANK HAMPTON married to a LIZZIE COLLINS. They had a son DAVE HAMPTON born 3/1903. If anyone knows of this family would appreciate any help. Parents for Frank/Lizzie? Siblings? I am at a dead end. Thanks Deborah

Dear Paula, This information will probably be very helpful in the future, because my Kimbrough is probably related. Unfortunately, I can't find any connection to any Kimbrough I've seen listed on the internet. And, my g/grandmother died in 1930 so no one remembers that much about her. All that I know is that she was definately born in 1863 and she had a twin sister who married Walter Herber and lived in Ponca City,OK. I did find a Melissa Kimbrough listed but the birth year was wrong and no twin was listed. I have really had a hard time finding info on her. Thank you so much for your information, and let me know if you find any more info.

Can anyone help me with a Mose or Moses Ritter that was born in 1795 and died in 1836. He married Hannah Danewood and lived along the Clinch River In Claiborne County, Tennessee. He is buried in the church yard of the old log Primitive Baptist Church at Spribgdale in Claiborne County, Tennessee. I can not find anything at all about his ancestors. Moses son Henry Clinton Ritter moved across the Clinch River into Dutch Valley in Grainger County, Tennessee. Any help would be appreciated. Bill Conner Knoxville,Tn. wconn@mindspring.com
