Hello Dan and Other Wright Researchers, Just wanted to say hello and check with you on some Wright info. I have seen in some trees and info posted around the net that quotes you as the source that have Amy/Anna Catherine Wright that married David Ausmus as the daughter of someone else. She was the daughter of William Morgan Wright and Mary Ann (Polly) Lynch. Another daughter named Mary Ann Wright married William M Cain 1/1/1882 in Union Co.,TN and married Isaac Newton LeMarr after 1910 in Union Co.,TN. The daughter Etta Cain is listed as a LeMarr on the 1920 census. 1920 UNION CO.,TN CENSUS VOL 82, E D 195, SHEET 9, LINE 64 LEMARR ISSAC N 63 TN MARY A 53 TN WIFE ETTA 23 TN DAUGHTER Isaac Newton LeMarr had married an older Wright sister named Melinda Wright on 9/13/1877 in Union Co.,TN. I think William M Cain and Mary Ann Wright Cain named a son Isaac N Cain. If the people have erroneously quoted you as a source Dan, please accept my apologies. One daughter named Sarah E Wright married John W Norton on 2/18/1883 in Union Co.,TN, Another daughter named Easter married Mckindre/McKindred Ellison in Union Co.,TN on 2/4/1884. The last daughter Margaret E Wright married Caywood Bowman on 12/15/1888 in Union Co. I am looking for any descendants of Sarah E Wright Norton and Margaret E Wright Bowman and information on them. The two sons named John Ellis Wright married Mary E Ellison on 3/14/1872 in Claiborne Co.,TN and William M (Willie ) Wright married Louisa Marinda Patterson abt 1884. Anyone related to the William Morgan Wright and Mary Polly Lynch lines or anyone that may information please contact me. I am also seeking information and leads to see if William Morgan Wright SR was in the Civil War possibly in a NC unit. He may have left TN and joined in NC where he was born even though he lived in TN. A John W Norton may have been in the same NC unit. I am trying to find William Wright's parents and where they were from in NC and VA. William M Wright was born Jan 1828 in NC. Thank you for any leads, information, and replies.

Hello, I hope that someone will be able to help me with any information on the following family: Ira WYRICK of Maynardville m. Mary Anna CAUGHMAN Mary Anna died giving birth on Sep 2,1857 to Cyrus McCue WYRICK in Maynardville or Madisonville. They may have had other children named Nancy Hanks and Mary Matilda Wyrick GAMMON. Ira, who became blind, died in 1866 when Cyrus was 9 years old. Cyrus was bound out to a family named BAKER. The Bakers had a son named Fost Baker and a daughter named Lottie Baker Snoderly. Cyrus moved to Kansas after finishing school. Please let me know if these names mean anything. Thank you,Mary

Thanks for the reply Floyd. As far as I have been able to find out, the only Joshua Pierce I can find any record of prior to 1884 is the following entry in the 1870 Campbell County Census: Nbr.

Which Isaac Beeler? Who did he marry? I have quite a lot of Isaac's, so I need to narrow it down a bit. Thanks! Carol

OK I blew it this time. I seem to have given people the impression that I was leaving or something. A lady called me the other day and asked in a hushed tone "Are you dying?" No, I am not dying, leaving the project or anything like that. Shoot just the opposite, I have several new things planned. What I was saying is that I'm only going to be checking Morom01@aol.com once a week. This is because I get I guess 400 e-mails a week there from our other lists. Wading through all that doesn't leave me any time to talk about fun stuff with you all. So I unsubscribed Morom01 from tnunion and will be talking to all of you from thagamizer@aol.com. Trust me I will always be around. I own my own server so even if I get fed up with TnGenWeb (likely), Rootsweb (not likely) or USGenWeb (not likely) I have a place for our pages. If anything should happen to our mail list I have another. So I can see the site being around for many more moons. Unless you all get together and stage a coup. Or I get offered a job at the Moon Pie factory. Hey if they offer me a job, it's every man for himself, I'm sure you understand. Nope I'll be around, you can't get rid of me that easy. Two points of interest while I have your attention. Maynardville.Com just got the job of providing a web site for The Union News Leader (Our Union County Paper). Pretty soon you will be able to read news about the county, right on line. The second point is. There's going to be something neat on the page the week of Halloween! I'm not telling what but it's worth watching for. Thanks, Chip Union County USGenWeb Part of the TnGenWEB

There is an article in our local paper today about a man researching the Shelby Families. It says: Looking for descendants of John Greene who married Susannah Shelby, daughter of Samual and Susannah Shelby of Sharp's Chapel, Jan 17, 1884. John's children were Malita, Susannah, Samuel, and John G. Greene. William Hopper married Malita Shelby, 1880. Census showed Susannah Shelby, 86 lived with the Hoppers. Need information on the John Greene & William Hopper families. I will exchange information. I'm not going to list this man's name and address but if any of you need it e-mail me and I'll give it to you. Chip Union County USGenWeb

You will find a lot of things in Knoxville that are the color orange. Ya know this is "Big Orange Country" It's not surprising we have orange moonpies

I tried to email the gentleman that wasn't doing genealogy this morning and his email bounced. He said that his wife was doing genealogy. One of her surnames was CLAPP. ITD24@aol.com When I used the above addy, it bounced back. I would like to know if she has a Hossar M. CLAPP in her files? Hossar ( I call him "Hoss") M. CLAPP married one Elizabeth Elmina Pack in 1886. They were married in Knox co. TN--according to the Knox co. marriages that are posted online. Would like to exchange information on the above families. Thanks, Patty Brock Researching: PACK, STILES, STRATTONS, ROGERS, ROBERTS, and many other allied names.

If you look at the label really close they are vanilla. I tried them and they aren't bad. Wish they were orange though. Had my mind set that they were gonna be and weren't. P.

At BiLo here in Knoxville, they had Orange Moonpies today. Wonder if they are orange flavored? They were the real thing.
