Surnames: ABEL, WILCOX Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/RgB.2ACE/168.1 Message Board Post: There is a large contingency of this family Surname located in Roane Co., near the Rhea Co. line. The area in which they originally settled is called ABLE or ABEL Valley. It appears that they were of German origin and arrived in America, arriving on the ship Lydi in Philadelphia, 19 Sept 1741. The descenants of the original family gradualy woked their way down through VA. The first time they are found in Roane Co. was after 1818, when David ABLE and ANNE WAMPLER ABEL produced their son, James Christopher, who was b. at Campbell's Station in Knox Co., TN. They ad a sn name Joseph H., b. ca 1812, place and date of decease not confirmed. He married Sarah Wilcox. Perhaps this little bit of aid will help in locating the family.

It's been awhile since I have posted to the Monroe County List, so thought there might be some folks new here who may have family connections. My 3rd great grandfather was Allen D. GENTRY. Allen was um, how shall I say it? Something of a character, to put it mildly. He married his 1st cousin Nancy GENTRY, had at least 9 children with her, and while still married to her, "took up" with Susan IVEY, moved Nancy to the house next door, and had at least 4 children with Susan before divorcing Nancy and marrying Susan (the same month their youngest daughter Arabecca was born-May 1848). Susan and Allen's son Pinkney Burton GENTRY is my gg-grandfather, born in March 1842, or 41, depending on the source. When Allen died in 1853, NEITHER wife would pay to have him buried, so the state of TN did eventually. He is buried next to Nancy, Susan's burial place unknown to me, but she died soon after Allen (I -think- since her kids were farmed out to relatives). PB was raised by his much older half brother who also had a son named Pinkney. They both claimed to be 16 in the 1860 census. Knowing Gentry humor, they probably thought it would be funny to have 2 16 year old Pinkney Gentrys in the same household! At least, that's how -I- interpret that census. Anyway, I would love to share with other Gentry "cuzzins". I am also interested in the IVEY and GRAY lines in Monroe County-Arabecca married Rufus GRAY and they had at least one daughter SUSAN (named after Arabecca's mother). Thanks!

Hello list I'm a new subscriber and am researching WHITE, NORMAN, PUTMAN and SNOW in Monroe Co.........SNOW might have been in Blount Co, I'm not certain on that one. I have a favor to ask already! ... In the Monroe Co Heritage Book there is a mention of "Milly", wife #2 of Elijah Putman, being Cherokee and the daughter of Chief Big Stick. Would someone who has the book check and see if there might be more on this subject and anything on these other names? And is the book still available for purchase? I can't access the Monroe Co page....genweb is down with server problems. Thanks, ~Sue~
