There was also a mass movement from Rutherford County to the Cumberland Plateau in and around Monteagle and Summerfield in Grundy County, TN. The following are some families in that area who came to Grundy County from Rutherford County. Summers, Howland, Lowe, White (These family names still found in the Big Springs area of Rutherford Co. as well). I wondered if these folks were coming to the plateau for health reasons. There was a TB sanitarium in Monteagle early on, but many people, especially wealthy ones, sought the cooler temperatures of the plateau. I don't beleive that these particular families were wealthy, however. Does anyone know what the Monteagle, TN, area offered people from Rutherford County that made them want to settle there ? My grandfather's 3rd wife was Nettie Eleanor Parker (b. 1881) , daughter of Joseph Parker (b. about 1849) & Fannie Howland. They were married in the about 1907. He was from Grundy County and she was born in Big Springs, Rutherford County. Do any of you have Joseph Parker or Fannie Howland in your research? I do know that Fannie's parents were Lewis Hamilton Howland (b. 1805) and Elizabeth "Betsy" Jacobs (b. 1811). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Flo Stevens" <flostevens@cablelynx.com> To: <tnruther@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, November 02, 2006 10:57 PM Subject: Re: [TNRUTHER] TNRUTHER Digest, Vol 1, Issue 58 > tnruther-request@rootsweb.com wrote: >> Today's Topics: >> >> 1.
