My family were sawmill people and I can only pinpoint them at the census dates. But I know from family records that they lived all over that area - White, Warren, Grundy and Franklin for short periods of time. When they cut down all the good trees they moved to another spot. If they had been equipped with chainsaws, Tennessee would now look like Nebraska or Oklahoma. -----Original Message----- From: Mike & Donna OBrien <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, February 16, 2006 4:43 PM Subject: Re: [TNMARION] Log Camp School >I know #108 is still there, but I'm not sure about #399.

LOL! That's for sure. I can remember when I first learned how to drive, being scared to death of the log trucks that used to fly up and down the mountain constantly.
