Geography has never been my strong point so I am hoping that someone can answer a couple of questions for me.One of my ancestors appears in the 1850 Hancock census as being born in NC. I know that Washington County,NC became Washington Co,TN, so is it possible that the boundries of the counties moved instead of my ancestorand that TN came to him instead ? He was living in the Panther Creek area at the time. Is Panther Creek anywhere near present day Tazewell,TN? digging for Haley, Burke and Goin too. http://home.bellsouth.net/P/PWP-tnhaley
