Jill, Most of the information I have came from working with the old deeds. Put together whole sections of Washington/Sullivan Counties for the book Cheryl decided to publish. Sally

Just curious...why do you think that?? I live in Rock Springs.

Hi again. If you contact Diana Chesser - Chesser [email protected] - she might be able to help. Sally

Hi I suspect that Lucinda Jones, born 1802 and married Daniel Crumley, James Henry Jones, born 1804 and married Elizabeth Feathers, and perhaps John Jones, born 1805 and married ___ Beechboard may be children of Samuel Jones; and that Samuel Jones may be a brother to Thomas Jones, born 1762 and married Susannah Ramsey, but I don't have proof for any of this. Is there anyone doing research on the early Jones families of Sullivan County that can help me? Hugh Mottern

Believe Jarrots/Garrots Branch is now Rock Spring Branch. Sally

Hi Does anyone know where Jarrots Branch is in Sullivan County. I can't find it on the USGS maps. Thanks Hugh Mottern

I'm researching the HENNINGER surname in Bristol. Hiram L b approx 1894 in TN and m Carrie Herbert b approx 1892 in TN and m Ada Hicks Robert R b approx 1858 in VA and m Ellen W Sullins b approx 1896 in TN and m Stella H

Searching for Rebecca Bowlin who married Malechi Hewitt in Johnson City in 1851, they had a son named David who had a daughter named Elizabeth Hewitt. If anyone is searching the Bowlin name and has a link please e-mail me. If anyone has resources and can find any listings on these names I would be grateful. Searching for a possible Indian connection to these names. Always a verbal history of an Indian, never any proof! Don't care if they are aliens myself, just would like to know more for a cousin of mine. Thanks. Connie

Looking for information about the Collins family of Sullivan County. Amy C. Collins (b. 10/1851 in TN or VA-d. 1925) was married to Elbert H. Glover, both buried in Chinquapin Grove Baptist Church cemetery. Family lore states she was of Irish ancestry and her brother was in the State legislature. Anyone know anything about her or her family? Looking for her parents or siblings. Thanks, Joyce Glover

Thank you so much for this info. Our line was Isaac, Nelson's brother. Thanks again, and please send anything else that comes available.

Hello. Here is one of the soldiers of Co B whom I have successfully tracked through the four "major" censuses of his lifetime (1850, 1860, 1880, and 1900), as well as the 1890 Veteran's census.

Dolan was the son of a moderately prosperous farmer of Sullivan Co. His father was worth $800 in both the 1850 and 1860 censuses. John's parents were literate. In the 1850 census he was living very closely to three other soldiers of Co B of the 4th - Thomas Light, Thomas Bray, and Thomas Easley (who rose to the rank of Captain of the Company). In the 1860 census he was living very closely to two soldiers of Co B of the 4th - Thomas Bray and William Owens. John enlisted in Co B of the 4th Tennessee Cavalry (Union) Nov 15, 1862 at Madison, KY. He was promoted to Sgt. After the war John continued to live in Sullivan County. He was a farmer, literate, and owned his farm in the 1900 census. The family name was spelled variously DOLAN and DOLEN in different documents. Hope this information is of help to someone.

Clifford, Doing a couple of scans through this census I don't see a Sands. I did discover one of the pages is missing. Will go to the Library tomorrow to make the copy.

Joyce, your name Mottern is awfully close to Moten. I've only seen the name Moten before. Wonder if there's any connection? Using Soundex there probably is. Marian Douglas -----Original Message----- From: Joyce Glover <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, September 06, 2000 Subject: Mottern family I am looking for information on the Mottern family of Sullivan County, around the Bluff City/ Chinquapin area. I have Kizziah Mottern who married William Glover, she was born 1825, died 1903. Don't know who her parents were. Anyone out there who could help? Thanks, Joyce Glover

Hi Joyce I think the father of Kizziah may have been George Mottern who was born 1782 possibly in PA and died before 1850 in Sullivan Co. All the Motterns buried in Chinquapin Cemetery are descendants of George. His father was John Nicholas Mottern, born 3/25/1753 in Bern Twp, Berks Co, PA. He died in 1832 and is buried near Bluff City. Can you give me any more information about Kizziah? For more information about Sullivan County Motterns please see my webpage at http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=mottern Hugh Mottern

Janice, could you possibly see if there are any Sands listed in the 1860 Sullivan Co. Census? I am trying to find a William Sands who I know lived there in 1836 but can't find any information on him or his family. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
