Dan, Are your Moores from Hawkins County? My Moore line was there early then in Grainger and also in Claiborne. Have you done the DNA test on your Moore line, and if so, which of the Moore groups are you a member of? Roberta Estes Please note that I have changed my e-mail address to robertajestes@att.net. I also use alternate e-mails of bobbi48114@yahoo.com and roberta@dnaexplain.com. -----Original Message----- From: tnhawkin-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:tnhawkin-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of D. MOORE Sent: Sunday, July 12, 2009 11:38 AM To: tnhawkin@rootsweb.com Subject: [TNHAWKIN] regarding subject matter for the list I contribute here so seldom, but I need to voice my approval and agreement that any info can be useful to someone.  I get 'Distant Crossroads' and enjoy it. Though some of the old court filings get a little tedious and long, it is overall enjoyable and worth the money.  I thank the nice people who put it together.  It is not an eay task.   I am fortunate in that one of my cousins spent years doing research on our family and it is all bound in a fine looseleaf binder for ready reference.    We have a town named after our ancestors in Hawkins County.  However, I still find tiny items here and there relating to ancestors and related families and I enjoy locating them.    I have also 'met' some great correspondents thru this site which I continue to exchange with on a variety of subjects.   Keep up the good work folks.   Dan Moore, Jr. Lubbock, Texas  --- On Sun, 7/12/09, Kaysb@aol.com <Kaysb@aol.com> wrote: From: Kaysb@aol.com <Kaysb@aol.com> Subject: Re: [TNHAWKIN] From the List Admin regarding subject matter for the list To: tnhawkin@rootsweb.com Date: Sunday, July 12, 2009, 12:19 AM I for one find all the information regarding Hawkins County very interesting and read most of the emails people have sent regarding  information, I have found some of my ancestors listed amongst many of the people  of Hawkins County.  On another list I belong to, it came down to a very  small article that helped the brick walls in my family search and one never  knows when a name may be mentioned that will drive a wedge into that  chink.  I also enjoy reading when someone did find a great discovery about  their ancestor, it gives me some hope that maybe someday I may be able to gather  more information Pine, Morris is my main research for Hawkins County.  I found that my great-grandmother's brother John Pine married Nancy Shanks and Shanks are related to the Lawson's of Hawkins County and many other names, if I hadn't read the emails, I wouldn't have seen some of the relations.  My great-grandmother Mary Pine married my great-grandfather George W. Morris who I  found was living with his sister in the 1860 census and were married in December 1860.  I also am finding what great history Hawkins County has and the people  who settled this part of Tennessee and the different counties one needs to look at as well when searching Hawkins County.  Without information provided who  would have known so much about this county, its ties with the revolutionary war,  the civil war, etc..  This is also one of the most active lists I belong to  besides Massachusetts, others I have to see if I am still subscribed so please  continue everyone to provide information and names.  Right now I am  housebound for a few weeks after a heart attack and this is my refuge.
