I will certainly share. The problem is I am in the middle of a move from Minnesota to Manassas, Virginia. A lot of the data is only on computer. I use Zip disks and have packed my computer with the Zip drive already and am working from a laptop. I promise enough to get you started soon. In addition to "Old Frontiers" (I cannot rcommend it strongly enough) there are several books by the Overmountain Press in Johnson City which are good. The ETSU Library and the Johnson City Public library both have "Old Frontiers". Several of my ancestors and probably yours too, are in the "Old Frontiers" book. Please don't mistake my comments earlier about Sevier as being too judgemental - I know that was a different time and place. But I do find it intriguing. Sevier was controversial in his day and I have found many differing accounts of his life - they can't all be correct because they directly contradict each other. BTW the last time I was in Telford, I looked for his first wifes (my ancestors) grave. Couldn't find it. It is long gone.
