Recently a very nice lady sent me a copy of Anderson County marriages in there it lists a marriage for William MARSHALL to Martha MORTON, October 7, 1850. by R. H. Guinn. (October 8, 1850). I have a ton of MORTON information, but cannot locate a Martha that fits this time frame. Would appreciate any help with this. Thanks so very much and peace from Pittsburgh, Nina MORTON T.

I am trying to look into the background of my great great grandmother. I believe her name to be Sarah Butcher and she married James Preston (J.P.) Cox. He was the son of Granville Cox and his wife Sarah (maiden name believed to be Ailor) JP. Cox died in 1921 and is listed in the Union County Death Records. Sarah died around 1945-1946, I believe and was in her 90's at that time. Also looking for a Bowen who possibly lived or was married in Union County to Sarah Strevel. She was the daughter of William Strevel, who died during the civil war and her step mother was Lydia Strevel who appears in late 19th Century Union County Censuses. She died in Union County in 1909. I have very little information to go about the Bowen. He was my great great grandfather and his name may have been David Bowen, but I am not sure about that. He abandoned Sarah and his two sons, Andrew Jackson Bowen (born June 15, 1877 - Died: Knoxville Tn, Nov 8, 1953), who was my great grandfather and Doc Bowen, who I know lived in Maynardville at the time of Andrew's death in 1953, as well as step children belonging to Sarah. My family connection is as follows. Granville Cox - Sarah Ailor (known children) James P Cox b. 1846 Matilda E. Cox b: abt 1849 Willam G (I think it is G) Cox b: abt 1854 Mary C. Cox b: abt 1855 Barton Cox b: abt 1857 Infant (unknown sex) b 1860 Jame P. Cox - Sarah Butcher Cox Children (in no particular order) 1. Tannie or Tennie or Tenie or Tinnie or Tinie Fannie M. (which is what is on her tombstone)Cox (her true name is a mystery to me and it is spelled in many other ways as well) She was my Great Grandmother. She married Andrew Bowen and they lived most of their married life in Knoxville, Tn and both are buried in the National Veteran's Cemetery there, under the wrong last name of Bowing, due to a clerical error when Andrew joined the military. 2. Classie Cox Myers (unknown) 3. Hauk Cox (unknown) 4. Emily Cox Beeler (unknown) 5. Lou Cox Gilbert (female) (unknown) 6. William David Cox died somewhere in the 70's in Maynardville, Tennessee (Union County) Bowen Lineage. ? David Bowen (not sure of first name) married Sarah Strevel (known children and step child) 1. Pete Strevel (son of Sarah Strevel) 2. Doc Bowen (unknown) 3. Andrew Bowen born June 15, 1877 - Died: Knoxville Tn, Nov 8, 1953 married Tannie or Tennie (unsure of real first name) Cox Children of 1. Otis Bowen (Dates Unknown) 2 Frank Bowen Born. Unknown Died 1957 3. Orphelia (Orpie)Bowen Key Green born Unknown Died 1946 in Knoxville, Tn 4. Robert Jackson Bowen (Jack) 1907-1966 He died in Knoxville (my grandfather) He married Oma Smith of Clay County Kentucky in Union County around 1926-1927. Children of Robert (Jack) and Oma Smith Bowen 1. Beryl Bowen Cunningham (private) 2. Willa Raye Bowen Anderson B March 30, 1930 Died November 1956 3. Roberta Bowen Holt (my mother) private Anyone who knows anything about either the Butcher line or the Bowen line, I would appreciate any and all help and info I can get. I'm hoping someone out there was or is researching some of the people that I am looking for. Thanks. Richard Holt

If you are the kind who doesn't have to worry about your diet, try putting peanut butter on those moon pies. :-) Lar

You can buy moon pies in WI but they taste like they were made on the moon. <G> Morom01@aol.com wrote: > In a message dated 5/17/99 3:21:31 PM EST, angelinav@juno.com writes: > > << You can find the original Moon Pies from Chattanooga > at 7-11. > I buy them all the time - I live in Oregon. >> > > The other day I was at Wally World (Wal-Mart) and saw those little individual > pecan pies.

You can find the original Moon Pies from Chattanooga at 7-11. I buy them all the time - I live in Oregon. I grew up on scooter pies, my mammaw could not find the Moon Pies out here like she had in Maynardville. Angela ps they also sell RC cola....but only in a plastic bottle.

We have added a bunch more stuff to the page. But probably most important to you all is that we have created an online catalog of all past and present Union County Historical Articles. These include all articles ever published in the Pathways Genealogical Journal. Go have a look through the articles and see if any of your family members are present. I have encouraged the Historical Society to sell articles and not whole books. This way you can pick and choose just the articles you want. As of this writing no set fee per article was set but I believe it will be $1 per page to cover costs. But you can e-mail the Historical Society about that if you find an article you want. To access the Historical Society Article Catalog just go to the Union County Page http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnunion And click on Historical Society. Have a great day, Chip Union County TnGenWeb

Chip, I didn't notice the mispelled.. now the potato is a different matter.. *S*.

Gee Wizzzz I thought that was the way you spelled it. Pat Graves Reagan

Hi, In the last Union County Book, under the MONROE name there is a picture of William George wife, Adeline ADKINS, and at the bottom of the page, there's a picture of Fereby (Phoebe) HILL, the wife of Robert (Robin) ADKINS. They were ADeline's parents. I would like to know who sent in the picture of Fereby so I can follow through and ask who are her parents. I've been looking for many years and still can't find them. Does anyone know who they are. She was born in 1816, married Robert Adkins in 1838 and died in 1897 while living with her daughter and son-in-law, Nancy and Enoch VANDERGRIFF. Fereby and Robert are buried in the Adkins Cemetery off Tater Rd. close to the border of Union and Grainger.

Chip, I was told when my children were in school that the inability to spell was a sign of 'giftedness'. The theory behind it was that with all the child's brilliance and creative abilities, he could express himself without having to go by all the rules all the average folk observed. Besides, I was promised, there would be secretaries and "computers" to take care of all those mundane things - like spelling. That's been awhile, don't know if the theory still holds..Verla

Chip, Just don't let the media get word of this, you know what they did to Dan Quail because he misspelled potato or was it potatoe? Georgia

Well not really the county but the page itself. All of you that have the old homepage (www.tngenweb.org/union) saved or bookmarked never fear it will still work. When you go to that URL you will be at a Union County Redirect Page. The bridge there is the bridge at Blackfox across Norris Lake. It's a watercolor. Now for all you people in the know I realize that this bridge is actually in Grainger County but Union County maintains it because of it's remote location. The bridge years ago was part of a larger bridge across the river. When TVA created Norris Lake the bridge was cut in two. This part was reused as the Blackfox Bridge. I believe the other half was destroyed. Common legend in the area says that this was the bridge that the sheriff was killed on, but that's not true. Anyway have quick look at this redirect page because in 10 seconds you will automatically be taken to the New Union County Page after reaching it. If you want to bookmark the new page there are two URL's you can save: Page with frames (recommended) http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnunion/ Page without frames http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnunion/area.htm Either are the same page and will be updated at the same time. Now if there is something you can't find give me a yell and I'll tell you where it's at. Probably still on a disk because I forgot it. Several new things have been added to the page besides Historical Society stuff. A new search engine will be installed this weekend that is far superior to the one we have now. It will give you the option of just searching Union County Pages or searching the entire web. A page of notable Union County people will be added next week as well as a page listing new things and when they were added. That's all for now, I'll leave you all alone for a while. Thanks for putting up with me and my long winded e-mails. Chip Union County TngenWeb

Chip, when did you graduate from HMHS? I graduated in 1949. Was Claude Weaver there when you were? Robert L Dyer

How many of you have went and looked at the prototype New Union County Page? Several...And I appreciate your kind comments. I even let you all vote on which of two pages you liked best. Did any of you ever tell me I spelled TnGenWeb wrong? I sure did. Spelled it TenGenWeb instead of TnGenWeb. In that pretty graphic, which took me two days to create, I spelled it wrong. Yet none of you (my friends) told me, I had to hear it from a stranger! Now I know this may seem like a small thing but the TnGenWeb frowns on illiterates creating their web pages. arrrrggggggghhhhhh!!!!!!! So now I make a pot of coffee and prepare to stay up all night correcting my error. What can you expect I went to Horace Maynard High (Union County). Have a nice night, Chip

We've added a lot of new stuff from the Historical Society. Visit it at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnunion/historical/society.htm I promise the new Union County Tngenweb Page will be online if not this week next and all these articles will be available there. But until then just access the URL above directly. All of you who have looked at Loyston for your ancestors should check out Loyston Baptist Church Cemetery. It lists all the graves and gives the names of where they were moved to. Keep in mind if you need more information about any of these articles be sure and e-mail the Historical Society. They are glad to get your e-mails and will certainly help you if they can. Thank you for your patience in getting the new page up and going. We are having a big increase in file size for Union County and that is in no small part thanks to the Union County Historical Society. And also thanks to all of you who wrote to them on our behalf.
