I live in Charlottesville, VA, in Albemarle CO. Although I have lived here many years, I have never gotten into the unpublished court records which I studied this week in my search to link my E TN Watkins/Moore/hart/Duncan lines to Charlottesville. There is record of a personal physician to Thomas Jefferson in Jefferson CO, TN, records in early days which I just found duplicated in Albemarle CO records and which also links this line back to Maryland via a Bell marriage. At any rate, I think that many of you may want to look at this area for your E TN kin. The woman who has been with the courthouse records the longest and who knows the most commented that she thinks that one of the strongest migration patterns that she's seen out of here is toward E TN and that she often overhears conversations about researhers of TN who have "finally found their records" here. I certainly found mine! Unfortunately, most of these old records are still unpublished, although there are several groups here working to change that situation. The person studying Tinnell lines may want to see what a researcher on the Albemarle CO list sent: Descendants of Joseph Tinnell 1 Joseph Tinnell b: 1742 Stafford Co, VA;(albemarle Co, vA) . 2 Joseph Tinnell ..... +Mary Pace m: 1794 . 2 John Tinnell ..... +Elizabeth/Betsy Meeks m: 1796 Doris in VA
