This summer I drove east from Maryville in Blount County on 411, through Sevier County, switching to 321 at Newport, then through Cocke, through Greene on 321 all the way to Johnson City, taking several side trips. The whole time I kept shaking my head wondering how exactly did the two different sets of families I have (one around Cosby, the other Rheatown/Limestone vicinity) even make a go of it there for the 60 or 80 years they respectively were there??? (1780s-1880s). It was absolutely gorgeous, breathtaking in every sense of the way to be "in the shadow of the Smokies". FYI, they ended up on the northern edge of the Ozarks in Missouri, where there are still hills (vs. shall we say Illinois near Chicago), but they are relatively gentle and at least you don't have to be part mountain goat to plant your fields. Of course, they might have been easier to clear in TN since the larger tree trunks would just roll down the hillside <grin> if you were lucky, FYI, I had gone through the Ozarks from SW Missouri (Lawrence/Dade Co) to Ruston LA and back up again, all the while staying off the interstate and as close to the ridge roads as I could get. It would beautiful, but just not quite up to the Smoky standard. Hope you enjoy the pictures! Families of interest.

Could someone please tell me how the Evans are related to the Emerts family? My grandmother was born in Emerts Cove, TN in 1898 and said that the hills were so steep that her dad had to hand plow the fields as a mule or horse could not be used for plowing. Her dad would then poke a hole with a long stick, and she would follow along behind dropping in the corn. Needless to say, they moved away to flatter land which was easier to farm. If anyone has any pictures of the area, I would love to see them. Thanks so much for any help you can give about the Evans-Emerts connection and any pictures that may be sent!

Hello Everyone, I am trying to determine if there is an abstract book for North Carolina land grands in TN (and I KNOW there are several in many forms)..... That has a geographical/physical index of places named in the early land grants? (looking for Clear Creek and Buffalo Creek...realize these are two DIFFERENT locations) Thanks in advance, Janet Hunter

Pioneer settlers arrived in present-day Knox, Jefferson, Cocke, Hamblen, and Sevier Counties shortly after the end of the Revolutionary War. Today, it's hard to imagine what foods they ate, what clothes they wore, and what their lives were like in general. On Sunday, March 24, 2002, modern citizens of this area can learn about the original settlers from Robert McGinnis, site director of Knoxville's James White's Fort. McGinnis is an expert in pre-statehood East Tennessee history. Donning period-appropriate costumes and using antique artifacts as props, he recreates pioneer characters in lectures around the region. Mr. McGinnis will give his presentation from 1:30 to 3:00 p.m. at the Sevier County Heritage Museum, 167 E. Bruce Street (old post office), Sevierville. The public is invited, and there is no charge for admission. In addition to the talk by Mr. McGinnis, costumed members of the John Sevier Chapter of the Sons of the Revolution will be available to answer questions and demonstrate the use of period artifacts. For more information about the event or the Museum, call 865-453-4058 or visit on-line at http://www.korrnet.org/schm/
