We're planning to be in Greene County Tennessee during the week of October 13th. We'll be researching the Brown and Trobaugh and Hull families that were in Greenville between about 1780-1820. We would appreciate any suggestions about using the courthouse records, the library, and perhaps a Historical Society. We've never been there before, so we'll be real newbies. Also, if anyone can suggest a clean, resonably-priced motel, we'd be grateful. Jim Patrick Tampa Florida

Hi Jim, The Elmer Cox Archive in Greeneville is a MUST see. I think you could spend days just there. Very helpful people there as well. Not really sure of the hours. I live in Jacksonville, Fl. I've been there twice and each time was just not long enough. Really old records there. There are many hotels in Greeneville. It is quite a big city really but still with a Historic area. Sure you can find something on line.

Hi ! I am in agreement about the T. Elmer Cox library... Go see Don Miller, he knows everything that you want to know !!! They have all the old court records there ! I will scan you the pamphlets of T.Elmer and the Greene Co. Gene. Soc... And, THE place to stay is the Jameson Inn... but, you must make the reservation online... It will be less than ½ of the real cost, as if you were to just show up on their doorstep... You must ask for a smoking room if that is what you want, my son and one daughter smoke and one daughter and me, don't... The "room" has a refrigerator and a microwave and a hair dryer and a coffee pot, and TV w/remote, of course... When you go to the site, it will show you everything that is available, and photos of the rooms... http://dps1.travelocity.com/hotspromo.ctl?prop_id=54465 There is a new restaurant about 50' in front of the Jameson... It has steaks to shrimp... fairly reasonable... Me and my 40ish "children" had a ball !!! It was a once-in-a-lifetime trip... We rented a mini-van and off we went !!! We found a cousin to show us the McCoy Settlement property... He gave me 2 canning jars that were out of the root cellar !!! I was in hog-heaven !!! They are in a prominent place in my home... If you have property that you want to see, ask Don Miller who owns it now... then, look in the phone book and see if they will allow you to go on the property... If you ask, it is almost always a yes... I'll scan those pamphlets to you, now...
