> > Mrs. Charlotie, wife of Thomas Armstrong & daughter of James & Elizabeth Crane, died June 7, 1896, age 79 years DEAR PEGGY, NOW THAT YOU HAVE POSTED THE ABOVE, I & OTHER ARMSTRONG RESEARCHERS HAVE HAD A QUESTION. 11 FEB 1840 WILLIAM CONE TO ELIZABETH WRIGHT BY JOHN GILBERT 13 FEB 1840 THOMAS H. ARMSTRONG TO CHARLOTTA CONE BY JOHN GILBERT. THIS CHAROTTA CONE IS SUPPOSE TO BE THE SAME PERSON AS CHARLOTIE CRANE ARMSTRONG YOU POSTED ABOVE. IS THAT NOT RIGHT? WAS WILLIAM CONE WHO MARRIED ELIZABETH WRIGHT A BROTHER TO CHAROTTA CONE/CRANE ARMSTRONG? WAS ELIZABETH WRIGHT A SISTER TO MY GREAT GRANDFATHER JAMES WRIGHT? ELIZABETH WRIGHT CONE (AS HER NAME APPEARS ON THE CHURCH MEMBERSHIP LIST)AND ALL OF MY GREAT GRANDFATHER WRIGHT FAMILY WERE MEMBERS OF THE MT. HEBRON CUMBERLAND PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH STILL IN BELLEVILLE, TN. SO I BELIEVE JAMES WRIGHT AND ELIZABETH WRIGHT CONE WERE SIBLINGS. I HAVE COLLECTED MUCH INFO ON THE CRANE FAMILY. BUT I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO FIND THIS WILLIAM CONE/CRANE? IN THAT FAMILY. ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS? JULIA

Julia, You are correct. Cone and Crane are the same. The family is now known as Crane. You are also correct in the fact that Mt. Hebron Church is still in Belleville and still has members. It was damaged in the tornado that I mentioned that went through Howell and Belleville. The Church of Christ on the hill was destroyed as was the house across the road from it. As far as I can tell they have both been rebuilt. Would you like a picture of Mt. Hebron? Wednesday Mama and I went down through Union Hollow onto Cold Springs Hollow to see if a little cemetery was still there. They have cleared some land and she was afraid the cemetery could not be found. Not only is it still there but we took time to visit. There are 4 tombstones left, three standing, with only the base of a 5th stone. There were a lot of fieldstones, some flat in the ground and some small ones standing. I took a picture of this one---N. J. Armstrong, born Aug. 30, 1833, Died July 12, 1901. and J. W. Armstrong, Born Apr. 30, 1827, Died Feb. 1, 1906. One tombstone was for C. A. Cole but cannot remember the other two initials nor the dates and did not have anything to write on. What we both found to be quite comical is one tree stump next to a stone. The tree had been cut but the stump appeared to have been cut taller than the others then cut across again just so far and then sliced downward to that part leaving the back part of the stump to form a chair with a back so the workers clearing the land could sit, kick back, and rest.

Can anyone tell me if Mount Hebron Presbyterian Church is still in existence? The church I am looking for was in existence at least as far back as 1833. The deed description is: "all that tract or parcel of land situate lying and being in Lincoln County on the waters of the West branch of Norris Creek - butted and bounded as follows: Beginning at the creek on the north boundary line of <b>PRESLEY DOLLINS</b> four hundred acre tract - running thence north with the creek/ thence west - south etc. to the beginning." Not being from around LCT, I am unsure where this is. I also know it is in Norris Creek. Not sure this is the same church as referenced in the email below, said to be in Belleville. Can anyone provide the street address and if they have a web site or if anyone has a photo of it, it would be appreciated. -----Original Message----- From: Peggy Coleman [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, March 03, 2006 3:49 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LCT] Armstrong--Moore Julia, You are correct.
