Thanks, Marty... I'll keep that in mind. I haven't heard from anyone else. I think I will post the same inquiry in Maury and Marshall counties in Tennessee via your response to expand the search. The Family Tree DNA project you mentioned was also mentioned in an article written by Mic Barrett, a fellow who writes a genealogy column for the Houston Chronicle every week.
