My husband's gg grandmother, Martha Mills, was born and raised in the Boone Mills area. We have been told that there is a place called "Mills Mountain" because there were so many families of Mills' living on the mountain. Does anyone know of such a place and can you give us directions to locating this place? John & Nancy Mills

Wife Sarah E. Jone her parent Asa her age 22 black. Hope this is the one so you can get some sleep Ed

Hello: I just got some information on a possible relative I have been searching for. It was taken from the 1910 Census Miracode. I am looking for a marriage certificate from Samuel Saunders to Sarah E. (unknown last name). Their oldest child was 14 at the time of the census so I am guessing the couple married abt 1896. Does anyone have access to Franklin marriage records that could look this up for me and copy the info found. I am looking for: (1) positive I.D. that this is MY Samuel Saunders, (2) His parents information, (3) his wife's last name and parent info, and (4) a good night's sleep.
