If you have called for a roll call These are the surnames I am reseaching in Lee County. Williams, Nichols, Robinett, Dickenson, Cheek, Smith My families were in Lee and Wise counties at least in the last half of the 19th century and beyond. I am interested in the Anderson family also, as one member was a very special person in our family(Jenny Anderson - born around 1900). These families lived around Big Stone Gap, Norton, East Stone Gap. There is a log cabin in the county that I saw 20 years ago that was built about 1860, I think , and was where my grandmother's family ( Nichols) lived . She spent her summers there . Would like to correspond with anyone who is connected. Carol Shaw
