I'm really grasping at straws here, trying to find out where exactly my ancestors were located between 1795 & about 1812. I know that Human came fron GA in abt. 1795 to Knox Co. but I don't know where in Knox. The county was huge then compared to now. He is mentioned in some histories as being in Roane & I know he was up in the Burrville, Sunbright, Deer Lodge area of what is now Morgan County by about 1812. His 1st wife, Wineford, was widow of Thomas Gilliam, brother of Devereaux Gilliam, who is mentioned in most histories of Knox Co. As near as I can tell, both Gilliams & Georges came from Virginia, possibly by way of NC and or GA. If anybody knows for sure, and can prove where Solomon Gerron was in 1797, that will tell me where my Bazell Human was, since they both signed Bazell's marriage bond. If you can give me any evidence or clues that I can verify with original documents on my next trip to E. TN, I'd really appreciate it. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kay Lamb Sent: Saturday, March 09, 2002 8:15 AM To: TNROANE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [TNROANE] Edward Owings, et al Our line that came into Knox Co. and then Roane had some George connections in Knox or Grainger Co., Tn. It was the Hinds and Hankins families and there were connections in Knox and Roane to the Geron family but I believe the Hinds may have connected back up in N. J. or N. Y. before 1763. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ernest Hurst <ernesthurst@msn.com> To: <TNROANE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, March 09, 2002 4:55 AM Subject: Re: [TNROANE] Edward Owings, et al > The reason for my interest in this is that Bazell Human & Solomon Gerron posted a $1250 bond stating that there was no reason that Bazzle & Wineford not be married. That was MEGA bucks in 1797 & typically the second individual on a marriage bond was usually a relative or close friend to one or the other of the persons that were being married. As I understand it Wineford was widow of Thomas Gilliam & her maiden name was GEORGE. I know that Bazell & Wineford named one of their sons "Solomon". There may be some family connection here - do you know of any? > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Jamey McLoughlin > Sent: Friday, March 08, 2002 10:07 PM > To: TNROANE-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [TNROANE] Edward Owings, et al > > Solomon and Eleanor are buried in the Gerron-Bullard grave yard in what is > now the Walnut Hill area of Harriman.
