He should be able to pin point the exact location of the grave. Concerning the TVA Norris Projett, a member of the UCCA told me recently the TVA Grave Removal Records were also available at one of the Univ. of TN. libraries on campus in Knoxville. This is not the McClung Library. You would need to have the cemetery they were disinterred from to access the record.

The TVA list has the removal date of 1935. Samuel was my 4th great grandfather. I was just really hoping to find either or both of their graves. Their deaths are written in Samuel's bible but no location is mentioned. I would like to visit the Lone Mountain area and check the cemeteries. Although I'm sure you are right and their graves are probably unmarked. Thanks for the info. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

One for job searches, which gave me a virus and shut my computer down, two for genealogy, one of which my password got changed and I can't get into it, the other recieve SO MANY THINGS from facebook that I spend all my time deleting other peoples blogs, and the library only allows you 60 minutes. I would tell you to contact me on face book, but I don't go on it very often. I HATE people writing on my WALL, when I ask them to send me a private message on there. I don't even bother looking at the wall, as I get on so seldom there are at least 1000 messages there, none of them worth reading. One was on Yahoo, two on aol., and 2 on Hotmail.

Dear List,   I would like to make contact with any male Johnson descendant who has done the YDNA cheek swab.  Our YDNA group is trying to confirm  a genetic link to either of these two brothers, as their YDNA would be the same.   If you have not done the YDNA swab, and are interested, I can send information to you on how to do that.   George Presley Johnson:  b. @ 1755 VA--d. before 1790 Edmund Johnson:  b. 1763 VA--d. 1853 Roane Co. TN   Any information will be appreciated.   Regards,   Judy in TX

Joyce, Do you have this John Thomas Johnson on census records? I am curious if I have the right person on the 1870: J. T. age 29, married to Nancy J. I do not find them on the 1880, but Nancy, widow, is on the 1900 in Union Co. She says she has had 8 children,5 living. She and J.
