Well not really, I'm still around. But I will be responding to our mailing list from thagamizer@aol.com. So don't worry if some guy calling himself thagamizer sounds like me...It's me! I'm still running the show just calling myself something different. An alias as it were. Why? Because morom01 is subscribed to the state mailing list for tngenweb. I am sick to death of all the e-mails I get from those people. I average probably 400 e-mails a week. All they want to talk about is who's mad at who and why we should or shouldn't do this or that. And you know what I've found? I don't want to talk to any of those people. I'd rather talk about moon pies with you all. Well I can't abandon the state mailing list, as it's required. So I leave morom01 subscribed to it and I'll stop by once a week and delete all those e-mails. So here's the bottom line...If you want to e-mail me privately send it to thagamizer@aol.com.. See that NINA, and all you other nuts that e-mail me funny stuff? Send my thoughts of the day and jokes to thagamizer@aol.com. Now finally get this... Maynardville.Com has been contacted by our local (Union County) paper. Well to be honest I contacted them. Anyway, they are interested in taking their paper online. Wouldn't that be neat? Now you may be able to get some of the local news and foolery right on you puter' screen. I'll let you know, Chip Union County USGenWeb

Chip, I stopped by the bread outlet store this afternoon and what did I find on the shelf but a large box of MOONPIES. I bought them and when I got home I read all of the labeling. It was very interesting and what did I find? "WWW.moonpie.com." I checked out the web site and it will tell you every thing you want to know about "moonpies and RC colas" I am not in genealogy but my wife is. Names in her line are: Johnson, Butcher, Clapp, Strater, and many more that I cannot remember. Bill

Dear Cousins, Since I started this, I guess tell everyone who the two Beelers in my line are. Only I can't at the moment. My databases are at not available at the moment. But if anyone ever does a definitive work on the Beelers I have no doubt that they will connect in some way with every one Union County family. I've actually encountered more of them in my pre-Union Co. Grainger Co. research. The main lines closest to me timewise are Nicely, Davis and Collinsworth. I had a Nicely grandmother and Davis and Collinsworth great grandmothers. The Beelers were back in the great-great category. One impediment I've found in researcher Beelers is the reptition of first names through the generations. They like the name Joseph a lot. Which jogs my memory: One my Beeler ancestors is Joseph Valentine Beeler. Jim

Are you researching the Pierce line? I am looking for the ancestors for Joshua Lettle Pierce b. Sept. 1867, also looking for ancestors of Mary Isebell Pierce, b. Nov. 25, 1874. Josh and Isebell were married about 1894 and both appear in the 1900 Union County Census.

No I am not researching the Pierce Line. They lived in our neighborhood. Also attended same church.Wish I could help.Sue

That may be one kind of brown cow, but there is also another: Prune juice & milk of magnesia. Very effective for what it is intended. Karen

Now that you mention it, it was a "brown cow."

When I went to my grandparent's in Capitol Hill Tennessee, my cousins and I would walk to the store and get a "black cow." The first time we went , I ask for a "hunky" and they didn't know what I was talking about...My cousin said she would pick something out for me and she gave me a "black cow." Know what? It was a "hunky." I live in Georgia and that's what they were called here... At 09:10 PM 09/28/1999 EDT, you wrote: >When I was a young child, we would go to Knoxville to visit our relatives.

Sorry to correct you but that is a "Brown Cow" I bet he got the ice cream at Gallo's. Would anybody know how to get the Church records of Clear Branch Church? I have written and nobody answered. There are Acuffs and Mynatts buried there and I would like to know if they were members of the Church. Also in my husband's Mother's Bible there was a name we could never place. It was Tombrock. Is this familiar to anyone? Betty Webb

When I was a young child, we would go to Knoxville to visit our relatives. I would be at my grandmother and grandfather's house with one or two of my cousins and grandpa would get off the bus and we would watch for him because he always brought us a "black cow." That is ice cream on a stick covered with chocolate. I don't think my sister, Nina Morton T. remembers as I am 10 years older than her, but we always looked forward to that. Bobbie Morton Fowler

The Arve Braden and others you listed lived in Blue Spring Hollow in Claiborne. Also the Pierces in Claiborne county that I am familiar with are Sherman Pierce and Howard Pierce.Also knew a Carl Pierce in Campbell county who owned a furniture store. My Bradens all were from the Union county area.Also on my mothers side of family am looking for James Williamson listed in 1860 union county census as being 60 years old.Had a son Albert also listed.My Williamson family came from the area that was flooded by TVA.The Williamsons attended Long Hollow Missionary church.Also my mother was married to Ephram Borruff her first marriage also from union county. The Kecks of union county are my kin, also the Shoffners.Have a big family .

Yes someone her likes soup beans ,fried potatoes and corn bread.I love it. I also like a glass of butter milk with a little pepper sprinkled in it. My favorite saying to the northerners where I live is"corn bread and butter milk made me what I am." Throw in some Poke stalk fresh fried and you got good eaten. Sue
