    1. [TNSCOTT] Life of Ruth Ballew Pennington
    2. Timothy N. West
    3. This is from another list. While it doesn't talk about Scott Co connections, it does provide a great glimpse into life in the early 1900s in the south eastern corner of KY, which I am sure was much like that in Scott Co. It is a great read. Over the Mountain The Life of Ruth Marie Ballew-Pennington http://www.angelfire.com/ky2/rick555/ruth.html ...tim west... Scott Co, TN Coordinator for the TNGenWeb Project

    2. >From The Oak ridger 11 Apr 2003 Jackson Boatwright Davidson, 79, Dorathy "Dot" Smith Moneymaker, 88, of Oak Ridge, Arnetta McNeil Crabtree, 78, of Norris, Myrtle Jelf Mauney, 85, of Oak Ridge, ===================================== Jackson Boatwright Davidson, 79, died Wednesday, April 9, 2003, at his home following a short illness with pancreatic cancer. Born May 12, 1923, in Troup County, Ga., he was the son of Annie Della Stripling Davidson and Robert Calvin Davidson, both deceased. He graduated froJm West Point High School in Georgia and attended Georgia Institute of Technology as a co-op student. He graduated in 1944 with a degree in electrical engineering. Mr. Davidson worked at NACA (the forerunner of NASA) in Langley, Va., before his Army service during World War II. He became a member of the Special Engineering Detachment in support of the Manhattan Project and was deployed to Oak Ridge in 1945, arriving the day President Roosevelt died, and stayed until assigned to Los Alamos, N.M., where he spent the remainder of the war as an instrument technician. He stayed on as a civilian in Los Alamos for several months after the war ended. After this period, Mr. Davidson returned to NACA in Langley and subsequently, under the G.I. Bill, enrolled at St. John's College in Annapolis, Md., where he studied philosophy, classical languages, and mathematics. In 1948, he returned to Oak Ridge to work at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. An interest in low-light level detection systems led him to develop instrumentation for use in several different fields, including biology, crystallography, analytical chemistry, spectroscopy and the Human Genome Project. As a senior development engineer in the Instrumentation and Controls Division, he considered it a privilege to work with research scientists in these areas. After almost 46 years at ORNL, he retired from Lockheed Martin in Sept. 1994. In 1985, he won, with A. L. Case, a national IR-100 award for an electronic image detector for electrophoresis and chromatography, judged as "one of the 100 most significant technical products of the year." A derivative of the television-based "fly's eye" detector that he built for the Solid State Division at ORNL is still in use at the High Flux Isotope Reactor. His work was published in Science and other journals, and he enjoyed giving professional presentations in laboratories such as ILL in France, INER in Taiwan and JAERI in Japan. He held four U. S. patents. A member of the Oak Ridge Civic Music Association for 54 years, Mr. Davidson served on the ORCMA board and as president in the early 1970s. He and his wife particularly enjoyed chamber music. For 24 years, he served as a telephone worker for the CONTACT Helpline. Another of his most satisfying activities was serving as a member of the Oak Ridge Chapter of the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill. He also held memberships in AAAS, Sigma Xi, the Friends of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the Tennessee Inventors Association. In the l950s, he worked to help integrate lunch counters and businesses in Oak Ridge. He was an avid photographer, especially of birds, and a devoted fan of ORICL classes. Mr. Davidson was active at the First Presbyterian Church, where he was an elder and served many terms on the Session, the church's governing body, and several years as clerk of Session. He taught adult Sunday School many times over the years and had recently served as a member of the sound guild. His many friends in the church and in the Oak Ridge neighborhood, where he and his wife resided for over 50 years, provided an extended family. He was widely loved for his gentle humor and his ability to turn a phrase. Mr. Davidson is survived by his wife of almost 53 years, Mary Ann Courtenay Davidson, whom he met in Oak Ridge. They were married May 13, 1950. He is also survived by a son, William C. "Bill" Davidson of Knoxville; and a daughter, Adele S. Davidson, a Kenyon College faculty member in Gambier, Ohio; three brothers, William H. Davidson of West Point, Ga., Hugh Davidson of Charlottesville, Va., and his twin brother, Lee Davidson of Atlanta, Ga.; two brothers-in-law, William H. Courtenay and Thomas A. Courtenay; three nieces, Diane Cook, Julie McCaffrey, and Anne S. Davidson, and their families. A daughter, Anne Courtenay Davidson, two brothers, G. Nathaniel "Nat" Davidson and Robert C.

She was head of the Music Department at Wheat High School and had also worked as a bookkeeper for the then Roane County sheriff. She came to Oak Ridge in 1961 and was a longtime member of Robertsville Baptist Church. At Robertsville, she taught a Sunday School class known as "the Moneymaker group." She was an extensive genealogist and authored two books: "We'll Call It Wheat" and "Fun and Foolishness." In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Russell S.
