No, WAGS does not have a website. There are 36 pages of the index. The first part of the book is the county history from before statehood and the last part is family histories.

What date do they start the history of Washington Co. TN? My family I know was there in 1790 and I can't search them back any farther I thought maybe they might have some info on them. Mary H.

Thanks for the info, Betty Jane! Do I need to forward this to Ellen, or did you copy it to her?

Betty Jane, Is there a way to know what surnames are included in the book and the years covered by the book? Perhaps on a website?

Hi All, The Davy Crockett State Park you speak of is in Limestone, TN. just south of Jonesboro. We have camped there many times - it is beautiful and campsites are right on the Nolichuckey River - fantastistic place - It's a little hard to find without some direction. JW

In the March 26, 2000 issue of the Johnson City Press, there is an article about a memorial planned for the Limestone Battle. Tony Valentine, 693 Centerfield Dr., Maumee, OH 43537 or e-mail at [email protected] is spearheading a project to have a marker placed near the Old Gillespie House at the intersection of Old State Route 34 and Davy Crockett Rd. He is asking for donations toward the cost which will be $1,325. Kim and Randall Sluss, who live between the Gillespie House and the railroad bridge at 106 Davy Crockett Rd., Limestone are creating a park for the marker. The text will read: "At a bridge here on September 8, 1863, the 100th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, engaged more than 1,000 of General Alfred E. Jackson's men in a short skirmish. Out of ammunition and surrounded, the 100th was forced to surrender. Union casualties were 6 dead, numerous wounded, and over 250 captured. Of this number, 85 died in Confederate prisons. Confederate losses ere not reported." The History of Washington County, Tennessee, 1988 by the Watauga Association of Genealogists -- the Battle of Limestone Station was "a complete tactical victory for the South" and "a strategic one as well."

Greetings Betty Jane, Could provide information about purchasing the book "History of Washington County". Thanks. Gary in CT.

Samuel L. Bitner and Margaret Graham were married on 2/25/1806 in Greene Co, Tn. They were soon after living in Washington County, Tennessee. Samuel was a surveryor and farmer. Does anyone know who their children were, who their parents were, when they died, where buried? Any help appreciated. I am still trying to connect my Nicholas Bitner to parents. Nicholas was born in 1809. Thanking you, Dorie

Hi, Ya'll, I am forwarding a letter from a non-subscriber. If anyone knows the answer, please reply directly to Ellen, but I'd appreciate your copying to the list. I'm curious, too! Thanks! Pat ******** I read with interest the information on the Jonesborough, TN website. James Gallaher (Sr.), a great grandfather of my husband, moved following the Revolutionary War from Pennsylvania to property along the Nolichucky River. Two years ago, when my husband and I visited the Davy Crocket Park out of Jonesborough, we were told that area along the Nolichucky River had once been Gallaher property. I asked the lady at the park's visitor center/museum if a Civil War battle/skirmish had taken place near there at a place then called Limestone Station. She thought there had been but didn't know the details. A great grandmother of mine had two brothers (Elisha and John Prescott) who with about 270 other Union soldiers were overpowered there Sept. 8, 1863 by some 2100 Confederates, taken prisoner, and sent to Belle Isle Prison in Richmond, Virginia. Please let me know if/where I can obtain documentation about this battle. Your assistance will be much appreciated. Sincerely, Ellen Brown [email protected]

Hello, Can anyone tell me if there is a John CASH and family in Washington Co. TN on 1840 census? Thanks in advance-Chris

Barbara, Concerning your recent posting to TNWASHIN-L, I descend from Samuel BRUMIT (c. 1766-1818) of Washington County, NC/TN, through David ( d. 1834)>Philip (1830-1858)>Elbert Montgomery(1854-1942)>Elbert Leroy (1891-1933). Have been trying to extend this line for some 40 years, but with little success to date. FYI, Samuel has been qualified for the "First Families of Tennessee." How can I be of assistance? Joseph L. Brumit in Sun City West, AZ Researching all pre-Civil War BRUMIT (All Spellings) Families Collateral Lines: ANDES, FRANCIS, HUFFINE, MORELAND, SCOTT Source citation is fundamental, but it is not enough. The validity of any piece of evidence cannot be analyzed if its source is unknown. Citing a worthless source is an effort that produces worthless results. Mills-EVIDENCE

I would like to be in contact with any one that can tell me about the Samuel Brummit and Margaret whom came to Washingtion Co TN in 1790 or David Brummitt(1790-1834) and Anna N Moreland Brummitt(1821-1880) I have asked questions before about a Elizabeth Brummit, but never have got a response at all from any one on these people Barb in OK

I have a William G. Payne (b. abt. 1780, m. Elizabeth Greenway); and a Jacob Snapp (b. abt. 1810, m. Hepzibah Waddill). Neither are my direct line, but both are connected with the Greenway family in Washington Co., Tenn. [email protected]

Hi List, Does anyone know anything about William or Elizabeth? WILLIAM TROTTER married ELIZABETH HART on October 4, 1821 in Blount CO. TN. Is it possible that Elizabeth was also married to a William Edward RAGSDALE in Monroe CO. TN in 1837? Is it also possible that Elizabeth had a son by William Trotter named WESLEY TROTTER? Thanks for any help on this. Nancy Helvey
