I'm sending this message to Nancy Cole; however, I've misplaced her e-mail address. I had thought this message went through on 6/21 but apparently it did not. I'll try again. Nancy, Back to thinking again ... Would you be able to look for me and see when/if James Brock and/or Sarah Ivey or Brock might appear in Rhea County? I have no idea at this point if their families both began in Rhea County OR if they might have moved there after their marriage (another date I am unaware of). The only information I have is from one of their son's death certificates ~ stating, James Brock was born in Kentucky; Sarah Ivey, Tennessee. I can tell you this: Together, they had six children: Arthur (supposedly, the oldest); Caroline (eventually married William "Wild Bill" Henry ~ she died at a "very young" age); William Coleman (b: 2/24/1886, Rhea Springs, Rhea Co., TN ~ my grandfather); John (b: 8/28/1887, TN); Alma (b: 1896, Jellico, Campbell Co., TN); and Taylor, b: 1897, ???). Any information you might be able to provide for me would be REALLY helpful.
