My sister and I will be in the Hancock/Claiborne County area next week to do some family tree research. We will be researching the BISHOP, HOPKINS, CLOUSE, and COLE families, all of whom arrived in this area in the early 1800s. I would greatly appreciate any information any lister can provide in response to the following questions: (1) Any suggestions for a good place to stay that would provide easy access to Hancock and Claiborne Counties, TN, as well as Lee County, VA? (2) What local resources should we be sure to take advantage of? (I have been advised of the Hancock County Historical and Genealogy Society - are there any other places we should check out?) (3) Any suggestions for old cemeteries to check out? I believe the various family branches were pretty much scattered around the county, although most were listed in the 33rd Subdivision in the 1850 census, and in Mulberry Gap and Sumpter Townships in the 1860 census. I have read that one of my ancestors was buried in the Mulberry Gap Baptist Meeting House Cemetery. Is anyone familiar with this cemetery? Thanks! Best regards, Janet Messer Micanopy Florida
