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.
