Sorry about my confused state. I should've said I need help on the 1870 Union co. census for Arninda. She wasn't even born in 1860. Thanks again, Patty Brock

Hi All, I am hoping that someone has the 1860 Union co.census. I checked the heads of household census that are on the Union co. site and noted several HICKLE families living there. I am trying to find out which one had a daughter named Arninda A. born ca. 1865. . According to the Knox co. marriages online she married Isaac N. PACK. It has Arninda listed as 16 yrs. old at the time of the marriage which took place 12-25-1881. Appreciate this list and hopefully someone can give me a helping hand. Thanks, Patty Brock

Hi Chip, I would also like Chapter 4. Apparently I didn't receive it or somehow deleted it without knowing.

I am trying to find out how Haze came to live with the Bakers. His mother was Matilda Rouse (Maiden name was Rouse). Haze's father was a Burnett. I don't know if Matilda died or got married. Thanks again. Becky

Posted on: Union Co. Tn Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tn/Union/773 Surname: Collins ------------------------- My great-grandfather Andrew Jackson Collins (1874-1922) used to be a member of the Cedar Ford Baptist Church in Luttrell. I am interested in obtaining some records from the church if possible. Can anyone tell me how I may be able to obtain some records from Cedar Ford Baptist Church? I am trying to find out more about my great-grandfathers family. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you, Julie

Hi Julie, You may want to contact the East Tennessee Historical Society (McClung Collection) for church records. Their web site address is, <A HREF="http://www.east-tennessee-history.org/">East Tennessee Historical Society</A> When I was looking for Washington Presbyterian Church (Corryton) records I was told by a church member that the early church records had been lost in a fire. While I was at the ETHS I checked the church records microfilm anyway and found the records I was looking for. Good luck. Michelle

Dear Chip, If you still have the fouth chapter of the story, could you please send it to me at [email protected] I sent what I thought was all of the chapters to my grandchilren and apparently, I did something wrong, because none of them got Ch4. Now they don't know how it end. Thanks a million, Chip. They're all waiting patiently for Nana to come through. Earlene Hutsell

Posted on: Union Co. Tn Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Tn/Union/771 Surname: Loy ------------------------- Emanuel Baker of Union Co., TN was son of Isaac and Lucinda (Loy) Baker. [Lucy was d/o Jacob Loy, s/o John ("Fisher") Loy] I didn't find any Rouse connected to Lucinda's family until her sister Sarah (Loy) Stooksbury's descendant married Arie Rouse in this generation. Perhaps Haze might be related through the Baker line or Amanda's family (I don't have her maiden name listed, though she married Emanuel ca. 1876) Hope this might narrow down your search some by knowing some of Emanuel's family. Delores

Posted on: Union Co. Tn Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Tn/Union/770 Surname: Loy ------------------------- Besides Fisher's daughter Nancy (Loy) Longmire, who, by the way resided in Anderson County, not Union County, there was Fisher's daughter Sarah's daughter Nancy Stooksbury (b. ca. 1841) who married Elijah Mitchell, son of John and Ruthie Brock Whitten Mitchell. Is that who you meant? Nancy's sister Hannah (b. ca. 1843) married (another) William H. Longmire--he was born ca. 1840 TN.

Posted on: Union Co. Tn Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Tn/Union/769 Surname: Loy ------------------------- That was another Nancy Loy, whose father George ("Coon") was a nephew to Fisher Loy. Fisher Loy's daughter Nancy Loy (23 December 1823 Anderson Co., TN—24 October 1911) md. 28 April 1842 (Anderson Co., TN) William Longmire (1825 TN), son of Elijah Longmire. I don't have anything about an Elijah Mitchell marrying her. Maybe another Nancy Loy? (I didn't go through my records to find Elijah elsewhere, though I do know there were Mitchells who married into the Loy family through other surnames of Loy descent.)

Posted on: Union Co. Tn Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tn/Union/767 Surname: Robinson, Ausmus, Beeler, Turney ------------------------- I am finding that there are Robinson/Beeler marriages in Union Co, TN at a later date than my William Robinson who m. Anna Beeler in Grainger Co, TN in 1802. So, these two families seemed to intermarry for generations. I am trying to prove that William Osmus Robinson was descended from the William who m. Anna Beeler in 1802. Does anyone have any information? Anna Beeler was the d/o John Valentine Beeler and his wife Mary Turney. Also seeking information on them. John Valentine Beeler was s/o Ulrich Buehler. (Swiss) I think these Robinsons came either from York Co, PA (where Ausmus family was) or from old Frederick Co, VA (where the Beeler family was). Looking for any connection of this family to middle Georgia in the early 1800's. Thanks for any help you can give to me!
