Gloria, I have a Joseph Graham who married a Miss Sarah Hill in 1812 at Jefferson County, TN. The family lived near Sehorn Ferry. Today that area is where the Swan Boatdock is located near the mouth of Sehorn Creek near Dandridge, TN. The Hills lived in that area. Their is a five volume set of books by R.N. Price titled "Holston Methodism" that might have information about your Methodist ancestor. Bishop Asbury's notes might also have data you need. I do not know where to find the latter, but some libraries have the "Holston Methodist" books. I saw the books at the Washington County, Virginia County Archives at the courthouse in Abingdon, VA. I noticed your last name and I am curious if your line goes back to Joseph Elias Baron? He is reported to have died about 1793 or 1794 in either Greene or Washington county, TN. Any help on this line would be of help.
