    3. Hi, Debra ~ I'm a Roach, and I'd love to have you in our family! I felt compelled to look at my "record" to see if I have any of your names. I only have Norris, and much too late to be of any help. The Dyers - we've discussed. But I will keep my eyes open when "messing around in Grainger County" info. Betty B.

    3. Hi Betty, As I understand, [and not any too clearly], William Franklin Rookard brought his family to Grainger County from Brunswick Co, VA after 1810. With no 1820 Census available, we have almost a 20 year gap. He had sons, [again not terribly clear], my William Franklin b 1806, married Nancy Brockus 1829; Brownberry, and maybe a Robert. Brownberry married a Norris/Dyer probably around 1830; guessing. Perhaps the sons even came on their own, but if they did, they came as a whole family unit which makes me tend to believe that Dad brought them. No records available to prove either/or. Their whole migration from Brunswick to Grainger is a mystery. Why and when? I also cannot locate any Brockus information. None of the Dyer discussion helped, unforunately all to late. My Rookard family was removed to Campbell by ~1850.
