Kay, I think you are stuck researching three counties. The area you describe is now near the intersection of Grainger, Knox and Union Counties. The lines were redrawn so often that I think there was confusion even back then. I have found doccuments for my folks recorded in all three counties and I know they did not move. But, I am willing to bet that the most of them will be found in Grainger and Knox.

The Brown family that I am trying to tie in with resided in 1800-1830 on Lyons Creek which is very close to Strawberry Plains in Jefferson Co, however the land is now in Knox Co, and across the river from Mascot in Knox Co. The Brockus family that my Elihu Brown married into was in Grainger Co in 1799-1830. On Census list and the 1830 census from Grainger Co I see families as shown below in near to the Brockus Family. Could you tell me by the names below could this area now be in Union Co.
