Does anyone here have a Sharp line that connects to an Emert line.The Sharp line also connects to a Howard line.

This is a FYI to all: Ancestry.com as completed putting the images of the entire US Federal Census online. Many are now indexed and searchable with the rest to be indexed in the coming months. I personally think the subscription price is well worth the convenience of seeing these images from the comfort of my home. Lorien Gunsallus

My grandmother was born in Emerts Cover, TN in 1898. Her maternal grandfather was John Evans and her dad was Wm. McGee from NC. Does anyone know of how the Evans are connected to Emerts Cove? I've heard the Evans are related to a prominent family that had lived in the area since the REV WAR times but can find no documentation. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi to the list, I was very interested in what Janet had to say about where there were Williams there was Henrys even in Missouri. The Joseph & Anderson Henry is what caught my attention . According to someone elses research there was a Joseph Henry born 1829 in Jones Cove,Sevier Co.TN. to William b:1803& Mary Henryb:1810 who also was from Jones Cove. William Henrys parents were supposed to be Robert & Lucy Henry. According to this researcher William& Mary Henry moved to Missouri after the birth of their first 2or 3 children then the next6 children were born in Missouri then they moved back to Sevier/Cocke Co. where 2 or more children were born in Sevier/Cocke Co. I have NO proof for anyof this but I believe that Rev.John Henry born 1828 in Sevier/Cocke Co. he married Jane Catlett in 1850 at Union Baptist Church of Christ in Cosby Cocke Co.TN. was the first born of this William&Mary Henry and Joseph was the second born. In the 1860 Census for Sevier Co. there is a Margaret Henry 21 years and her daughter Sarah 1 year old living with Rev.John & Jane and their children this Margaret is listed as a sister I believe, she is also a weaver and was born in Missouri in 1840. William and Mary Henry have a daughter born 1840 Missouri living with them in the 1850 Census (she is 10/11 yearsin 1850) for either Sevier/Cocke Co.TN. IF anyone can shed ANY light on this family I would for ever be grateful. This is my biggest wall that keeps staying upright and as all of you hope that someone will come along with just the right info to start the wall to crack. Please let me hear from you if you can help OR encourage:--) Take Care,Doris Henry Price ps.Anderson is a name repeated in the naming of Henry sons.

Kimberly, Was this Robert Mathis the surveyor, previous property owner, or new property owner? What is his connection? Do you know anything else about him? Thanks.

Janet, OK, this is what I have and what I have been told <g> Welcome to the confusing world of Williams' in Cocke/Sevier Counties. First of all, I'm sorry. My eyes skipped a line and I misread my info. I did know Solomon was in Cocke County in 1830. His three sons listed would have been Eli born 1825, James born 1827 and Wilson born 1829. Now I have been told by several researchers that these families probably didn't actually move in the early 1800. The county boundaries did. In some instances, state boundaries did. Different surveyors, different techniques, etc..... Much of my information has been gather and discussed....and discussed..... and discussed at the yearly Williams family reunion in Sevierville. Solomon's other children are Mary b.1833, Sarah b. 1834, George Washington b. 1834, another James b. 1839, Dochia b.1841, Matilda b.1842, and McKinney b. 1847. I also know that James b.1827 and Wilson died before 1850. In the 1870 census, living with Solomon are the following: Mary (58), Lucinda (13), Margaret M. (11) and Solomon (8). I believe these are probably grandchildren. The 1880 census states that both of Solomon's parents were born in South Carolina but I have no other proof of that. First let me tell you that when I asked some members of my family still living in Sevier County where Solomon's people came from they all told me Haywood County, North Carolina and looked at me like I was an idiot and had just asked them what color the sky was. I've spoken with researchers there and can't find the proof. Haywood does butt up to what is now Sevier and Cocke Counties. In 1811 a William Williams purchased 100 acres of land in Haywood County, North Carolina. He sold that property in 1815. On April 5, 1824 a Robert Mathis is listed on the survey of property for William Williams in Sevier County On May 31, 1824, William Williams and daniel Williams are listed in the survey of property for Eli McMahan in Sevier County. in 1825, William Williams is listed as the agent of Eli McMahan in a land transation. ( Keep in mind Solomon married Eli McMahan's daughter, Lucinda. I believe this William is William "Billy" Williams born 1769 in Norfolk, Virginia who married Mary elizabeth Walker b. 1772 also in Norfolk. The only children I have listed for them are John b.1798, Berry b. 1814, Daniel and Polly. In spite of the 1880 census, this is who I think is probably Solomon's father. I'd LOVE to know for sure, though. It is interesting that Berry's first son was named William and his second son was named Solomon. In fact, there are Solomon's in every generationof these families. Now I realize Solomon is a biblical name and would have been used more commonly that today but none of my other unrelated family lines in Sevier County use it. Makes you think.........

WILLIAMS & Franky MURRELL married ca. 1830, and first identifiable readily in 1840 Cocke Co TN Census with their oldest two daughters. Census records say that they were both born in TN, he of TN born parents (so early settlers), she of Virginia born parents. Cemetery records in Dade Co , Missouri shows both born in 1810. I have been working backwards from Missouri in 1870 census, Benton Co AR 1860, Kaufman Co TX 1850, Cocke Co TN 1840. Between 1840 and 1850 they also spent several years in Moniteau Co Missouri. In all of their wanderings west, they are ever present companions of two or more HENRY men, branches of the HENRY families settling around Jones Cove. Some of these Jones Cove Henrys moved east a few miles and hit Cocke Co. Two in particular, Joseph Henry and Anderson Henry are with Thomas WILLIAMS' family everywhere but possibly TX -- based on deeds, land records, census in various combinations. With respect to Franky MURRELL, I am confident that she is likely the daughter of William MURRELL of Cocke Co. HOWEVER, given the fact that there is this connection with the Henrys I am also looking at Jones Cove Williams. Since both Cocke and Sevier are both burned counties, I think my best bet might be to figure exactly where the early Williams land grants were in Sevier and Cocke, and maybe up to Jefferson. There, however, two good prospects in the 1830 Cocke Co census for his parents, and they live close to a SWAGERTY family, whom they also end up literally next door to in Benton Co 30 years later.

Probably not. Date: Sun, 4 Nov 2001 13:45:28 -0600 Hey Cousins, It is said there is nothing new under the sun, but I saw something yesterday, though it may not be new, it is certainly new to me. I'll try to describe it for you. While walking through an old cemetery here in Harvey County, KS, I ran across five headstones, broken from their bases. The people who are keeping the cemetery, in very good condition I might add, have built wooden forms the thickness of the various broken stones, laid the stones flat at the head of the grave with the wooden forms around them (with about a 6 inch space all around the stones) and poured concrete into the forms flush with the face of the stones. The stones appear to have been cleaned with mild detergent and a brush. Once dried, it appears that they have poured a coating of either automotive clear coat, or the hard acrylic clear coating found in hobby shops. The end result is a stone too heavy to steal, a coating to protect the face of the stone and the preservation of information for years to come. This may not be new, but it is novel and certainly crucial to genealogy researchers in the years to come. Just thought I would share this with the list, in hopes that it will generate some protection across the nation for the many broken or damaged stones. I might add, that the ones that were in two or three or more pieces, were put together and once coated, all you see are the break lines but they can't be moved. Dean Taylor

Hi Cousin Chrystie, I do have a copy of William Lindsey, Sr.'s will here at home. I'm descended from William "Jesse" Lindsey and Salina Ivy's daughter, Rachel Lindsey, who married Jacob Tyson. I'm descended from their daughter, Mary Ann Tyson, who married David John Hicks in Sevier Co. on 30 Dec 1857. Their daughter, Myrtle Hicks, is my g-grandmother, so that makes Jesse and Salina my gggg-grandparents. Thanks for the information about the different places to get information. I've not spent much time on this line as it was exceedingly complicated! Ha! You are very fortunate that you have so many tales of your family's history. I know virtually nothing about my Lindsey/Tyson/Hicks lines because my grandmother never spoke of her family. I always thought that so odd. But my mother says that even growing up my grandmother never spoke of her parents or grandparents to my mother and her siblings. Wonder WHY?!?!?!? Too many skeletons or just plain bad feelings? I don't know, but sure would love to know more of these lines than just the dates which is pretty much all I've managed to acquire. But we keep on searching don't we?

Pardon the intrusion, if I have something I'll share it with all if I see a surname I'm familiar with. Chrystie Here's what I found thus far on the LINDSEY'S of Sevier, TN. Will continue looking for Jessie's will... Found at http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/message/an/surnames.lindsey/342.347.355 under "Sevierville LINDSEY" Extract copy from -Report of Research Committee, Pittman Center, Sevierville, Tennessee The Lindsey Family began with Sir Jonathan Lindsey, who was born in Scotland and settled near Boston, Mass. in 1796. His children were: Jesse, Robert, and William. Jesse Lindsey fought under General Andrew Jackson in the War of 1812. He settled on an entry of about 1050 acres in Sevier County, Tennessee around where Evans Chapel, now stands. Jesse Lindsey married Salinah Ivy (Ivay/Ivey). Jesse Lindsey Salinah Ivy are the Sevier County Lindsey Patriarch Matriarch.

Jesse Salinah had ten children: Hannah, William, Lydia, John, Elizabeth, Sherrod, Patsey, Eli R., Martha, and Joel. Copy -- Genealogy of the LINDSEY FAMILY. The following is quoted from a standard Encyclopedia. (Full information about the Lindsey family can be obtained by referring to the "Lives of the Lindseys" by A.W. Crawford Lindsey, Earl of Crawford and Lindsey.) The encyclopedia says: "Lindsay; Barons and Earls; a distinguished family in Scottish peerage, descended from Sir Walter de Lindsay, an Englishman of Norman descent, who in the reign of David I, acquired Ericidoun and Luffness in East Lothian. In the twelfth century the lands of Crawford of Clydesdale came into possession of the family by a marriage with the royal line of Scotland. His nephew and heir, Sir David married a sister of King Robert III, and was made by that monarch Earl of Crawford, while Sir William, David's younger brother, became ancestor of the Lords Lindsay of the Byers, Haddington, and through a natural son was also ancestor of a celebrated poet, Sir David Lindsay of the Mount. In the fifteenth century the Earls of Crawford were among the wealthiest, proudest and most influential of the Scottish nobility and took a large part in the civil warfare of that agitated period. David the fifth Earl, a trusted minister of James III, was made Duke of Montrose in 1488, a title never before bestowed in Scotland except on princes. In l644, the tenth Lord Lindsay of the Byers was created Earl of Lindsay and soon thereafter obtained also by a new creation the Earldom of Crawford extinct in the older line. John, fourth Earl of Lindsay and Crawford, born in October 1702, was distinguished General in the Russian service in the German campaign, l743-45, and the suppression of the movement of the Pretender in Scotland in 1746." The following information about the Lindsay family was furnished by Judge Isaac N, Lindsay, Sevierville, Tennessee. Sir Jonathan Lindsay, born in Scotland and 1796 settled near Boston, Massachusetts.

Hi All, Personally I think Christie should write a book on those family stories and some of her personal observations on her familles history. I look forward to each email to the list when she writes and girlfriend you are tooooooo much lol. I have thoroughly enjoyed your emails and I know others do too. Keep up the research Christie! Take Care, Doris Henry Price
