I was wondering if there is a location in Crossville or an online location one can go to gather info about the families of Crossville? My Greatgrandfather was Albert Brown of the famous PIG stealing Browns. He married Leona Del Rae Byrd. I have not been able to find one thing about him in TN. I do know he moved to CA when he was a much older man. Also, does anyone have info about the Byrd Family Mill? Thanks, Liz Pendleton

Cathy, Thanks very much for the info. I have noticed how willing you have been to help others on the Morgan County forum. Did your relatives work for this railroad during the 1920's?

Hello Lists, I remember a while back someon posted members of Longfield Church. I saw several of my Morgan ancestors. I was wondering if there is a book that was published that may have told stories on the family. If so, where could I find a copy? Or if it is no longer in publication, could someone do a look-up for me? I'd greatly appreciate it. I am having a hard time tracing my Morgan line. Thank you for your time. Nancy Adkins Carroll

Hi, Ivory Hamby's father was John Hamby born about 1797 in Virginia. The Ivory Finley Hamby I referred to had a son also named Ivory Finley (Findley?) Hamby. The son was born in about 1868. Perhaps this is the one you mentioned. Ivory Finely also had a grandson Ivory Finley Brown, son of William Taylor Brown and Elizabeth Jane Hamby. Let me know if you want to exchange info. My e-mail address is becmacjo@aol.com Becky

Sandra, I have McCartt, Hamby, Peters in my line too. Maybee we share ancestors! I would be happy to exchange info!! Becky
