Many, many thanks to Claudia B. Carson for volunteering to do lookups in Dr. JGM Ramsey's "Annals of Tennessee'...one of the premier resources for researching pre-statehood and post-statehood Tennessee....including information on the Watauga Settlements and the State of Franklin. The contact info is listed on 2 sites. www.rootsweb.com/~tnpolk2 and www.rootsweb.com/~tnmcmin2 Please be sure to contact Claudia with as much info as you can so she can do an accurate lookup for you. The INDEX and APPENDIX are located on the tnpolk2 site so you can look for the names before you ask for a lookup. Merry Christmas to everyone...especially my co-host Sharon McCormack.
