Allen, I never lived in Roane Co., but have Roane Co. roots as you do and live in Waynesville - I used to live at the lake. My ggrandparents, Garland and Johanna Ingram and grandparents David Price and Talitha Isabel Thomas attended Cave Creek Baptist Church where David Price was an elder. My grandfather, Henderson Wheat Thomas was born in Roane Co. Small world..
