I tried to send this yesterday, but it bounced. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hello Everyone, I hope that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I did. I ended up driving all over the state of Tennessee, but it was fun. Here's what's new in Loudon County, TNGenWeb: Wills: Samuel Ingram Will Catherine Ingram Will These were transcribed by Brenda Duff and are linked from the Will Index Page. http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnloudon/wills/willindex.html Bible Records: The Thomas Huling Bible http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnloudon/bible/huling.html Family Album: Brief Article on Thomas Huling http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnloudon/family/huling.html These were contributed by Doug Huling Many thanks to Brenda and Doug for their contributions. Loudon County was not created until 1870. Before then, the land in the present-day county were part of Roane, Monroe, and Blount. I've drawn a map that shows how present-day Loudon County was divided among those three counties. The lines actually fall along the river. The map is at http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnloudon/misc/cmap.html This map is based on the information in "Map Guide to the U. S. Federal Census, 1790-1920" by William Thorndale and William Dollarhide. Someone (for the life of me, I do not recall who) mentioned this book to me about a couple of months ago. I'd like to thank you if I could just remember who you were. (Yes, I am getting old). I finished transcribing the next 200 pages of the will index last night. I have to proof it and then put it in a web page. I am hoping to get it online by this weekend. "God willin' and the creek don't rise." I also went to the library and copied about the first 75-80 pages of the WPA cemetery lists. As soon as I can get all of it organized, I will snail mail those of you who volunteered to transcribe it for me. I really appreciate your donation of time. Thank you. I hope everyone has a great week, Mitzi Freeman Loudon County TNGenWeb Host http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnloudon
