Everyone working on this project has the thanks of the rest of us who live out of state and cannot be there to help. We all look forward to having access to the indexes and eventually copies of those documents that relate to our family. Is there a genealogical society in Grainger County now and do they plan to get active and possibly print books with these indexes? Several years ago I inquired about joining the society and was told that all they did was take your money - no membership newsletter or publications - so I didn't bother to join.

We with Grainger County roots owe a deep debt to those volunteers, can't wait until the records are online! I have hit a brick wall with my GGGGrandparents, James M and Cloa Bird, and hope there is something in those records that will help. I would be willing to help, but live in SC. Cinda

Thanks Mike for the report, this is getting exciting, I sure hope some missing early 1800's Roach and/or McDaniel marriages show up, do you know if any of the indexs will ever be online?

I have my GGGrandmother Delitha Ponder McDaniel with a Fredrick Nance after the death of Ruebin McDaniel in Owsley County KY, before July of 1871. No marriage certificate has been found for them. Cinda

While the discussion seems to be on Nance, let me add one of mine. They apparently moved from Grainger to Roane Co. ca 1843 and were in Livingston Co., Ky. in 1850. After the 1850 census in Ky, they moved back to Roane Co., Tn. Does anyone have a possibility for this James Nance? 2) Emaline Hodge b. ca 1819 Grainger Co., Tn md. 6/26/1849 Roane Co., Tn.

Hi Ross Is your information on John and Catherine (Gray) Lebow available at a Family History Library or would you have a published copy available for sale? I'm related to this line via their daughter Mary "Polly" who married William Gray. Their son, Larkin, was my gggrandfather. I'd be interested if you have additional information on the Lebow line as I might be able to glean some information to get me over my brick wall.

Paula, Louisa (Lebow) Johnson's parents John Lebow and Catherine Gray are my 5-greats grandparents. I am descended from their son Jacob W. Lebow who settled in 1838 in the area that became Lawrence County, Missouri. I have a lot of data on the Lebow and also the Johnsons. Some of Jacob's nephews, sons of Sanford and Louisa (Lebow) Johnson also came to Lawrence County in the 1850s and married some of my other relatives. Below is a revision of an article that I wrote for the Hawkins County Families, Vol. 2. I did not get it in the Grainger County Heritage book with my Cameron family history. You'll note that it references an article on Thomas Johnson and Martha Hutcheson in Hawkins County Families, Vol. 1. John and Catherine (Gray) Lebow Copyright 2003, Ross J Cameron John Lebow was an early settler in Hawkins county, Tennessee. He is believed by many to be the John Adam Lebo who was born 4 October 1761 in Berks county, Pennsylvania, the son of Isaac and Sabina Lebow. Isaac Lebow was born about 1736 in Reading, Berks county, Pennsylvania. He was the son of John Lebo, the immigrant and his second wife, Anna Margaret. John Lebo was born about 1683 in Alsace, France. His family was probably among the many French Huguenots who immigrated to Pennsylvania, John Lebo arriving sometime before 1718 when he was naturalized in Lancaster county. The immigrant John died in May 1759 in Reading, Alsace Township, Berks county, Pennsylvania. According to his will he was married twice. His first wife is not named but has been identified as Judith Hanotiaux, who was born in London, England. John married Catherine Gray, the daughter of Joseph and Mary Gray, who was born 1 November 1767. They had eleven children: John, born about 1782-84; Joseph, born about 1785, who married 17 November 1810, in Grainger county, Tennessee, to Nancy Stubblefield; Mary "Polly," born about 1790, who married 24 October 1811, in Grainger county to William Gray; Phoebe, born 2 January 1793, who married 20 September 1814, in Grainger county to Spencer Bassett, and died 27 March 1859; Isaac, born about 1794-1795, who married 4 December 1827, in Grainger county to Sarah Gray, the daughter of Robert Gray, and died in 1882 in Hawkins county; Jacob W., born 16 March 1796 [more below]; Lucinda, born about 1797-1799; Martha, born August 180?; Louisa, born 21 November 1807, who married 25 October 1819, in Grainger county to Sanford Johnson, the son of Thomas Johnson and Martha Hutcheson, who was born 22 November 1792, in Hawkins county, and died 24 December 1879, in Hawkins county; Lucretia! , who married 29 October 1840, in Grainger county to Albert Sullenbarger; and Sarah, who married 28 September 1842, in Grainger county to John Rice, Sr., and died in 1849. John Lebow was one of those men whom Governor John Sevier commissioned an ensign in the Hawkins County Regiment, on 15 August 1797. John and his young family moved a short distance across the county line into Grainger county, Tennessee, by 1810. John Lebow died 17 March 1840, in Grainger county, Tennessee and was buried in Meadow Branch Cemetery there. Catherine Lebow died 16 December 1847, also in Grainger county and was buried beside John at Meadow Branch Cemetery. Jacob W. Lebow, my great, great, great, great grandfather, married 20 August 1821, in Grainger county to Louisa Henderson. Louisa, the daughter of John Henderson and Rhoda Hale, was born 3 January 1804, in Claiborne county. Claiborne county was formed from land formerly in Hawkins and Grainger counties only three years earlier and that part of Grainger taken from Hawkins a few years before that, so the Henderson family may be Hawkins county pioneers, too. Jacob and Louisa left Grainger county in 1829 and moved to Putnam county, Indiana. After only seven years there, they moved on to southwest Missouri. They lived first for two years near Springfield, Greene county, Missouri, but in 1838 moved a little further west to the area that would become Lawrence county, Missouri in 1845. Here Jacob died on 25 February 1879. He was buried in Williams Cemetery, near Mount Vernon. Louisa died there, too, on 22 November 1880 and was buried beside Jacob at Williams Cemetery.

After only sevHarriet Rachel (Lebow) Moore was my great, great, great grandmother. My other connections to some of Jacob Lebow's children are as follows: Catherine Rhoda's husband Francis Coleman Williams was the brother of my 3-greats grandfather Samuel Smith Williams. Lucenna Clorinza's husband James W. Patton was the brother of my 2-greats grandfather Samuel Carroll Patton. Louisa A.'s husband was her Lebow cousin.

So far I haven't found Luther Franklin Vineyard in my history. Any clue to his parents? None of the others are in my information - yet! Seems like I keep finding more and more connections/cousins.

So far that name hasn't surfaced. I'm just starting to create my Vineyard history so it may surface later. So far I have 35 Nances listed in my Vineyard line. I don't know if I have any additional ones in the Mitchell line. I only have Edd Roach in my Vineyard branch so far. Now I'm seeing Massingfils popup. I find it so interesting to see how many of these lines keep crossing. Hopefully as more and more records are available for Grainger County, we'll find some of the answers to our questions. I really wish we could locate some information about my 5th great grandmother. We don't have anything that gives her name. I think she was born in Virgina where she married Old William Mitchell and then died around 1813-15. He left TN and travelled a bit before settling in Missouri. He was living with a grandson, William Mitchell Wright in Madison County, Missouri at the time of his death. I understand he had some land so must have been a pretty good business man although he couldn't write his name. We only have his mark on his application for a Rev. War pension. Keep in touch and let's see where this quest goes.

Conni, I don't know what to think about the bounces. My box isn't full and had a lot of new messages this morning. Try it again just to check. Yes, Nance is one of those peripheral surnames it seems I never get around to and have about 20-25 assorted Nances scattered about. Most are either married to Vineyards, Mitchells or Roaches. The only other Mynatt spouse I have is Barilla Agnes Nance and I don't know anything about her.

Please contact the Archives for that information. 423-586-1961 or archives@co.hamblen.tn.us. I do know they are working hard at documenting a lot of material, and that it will probably eventually be "on-line". Meanwhile, I do know they have the obituary books for sale. I didn't get one. So, you can contact them for the details. GWEN

They are not, but Helen told me they would respond to email queries. -----Original Message----- From: Rodney Farrar [mailto:rodneyfarrar@adelphia.net] Sent: Sunday, May 01, 2005 5:18 AM To: TNGRAING-L@rootsweb.com Subject: RE: [TNGRAING-L] obituaries Gwen, Do you know if these records are available on-line?

Gail - I tried to respond but my messages bounced back. James Franklin Nance is related to my family. I was originally researching my Mitchell family but lucked into some Vineyard sites. There are numerous connections to the Nance family. Let me know if you want to exchange any information. I see that there is much to be researched. Conni Mitchell Braun
