I am hoping that someone can help me with information on Rebecca Morrison of Tazewell Co., Va. She was b. 1859 in Patrick Co., Va., d/o Jane Morrison of Tazewell Co., Va. She is listed in the 1870 Tazewell Co., Va. census living with a family named Grubb as a domestic servant. I do not know what became of her after 1870. Any help will be appreciated.

Hello, My line extends from son DAVID G. YOST. Can fill in some info on this line if you're interested. Carol, I would also like to have your gedcom file. My grandfather, DAVID PRESTON YOST was buried in the Tazewlll area abt. 1928 but have not been able to find where. Do either of you have any idea where he could be buried? I visited Tazewell last August for several days and tried to find everything on this YOST line at the courthouse and library. Didn't have time to visit historical society. Saw papers where DAVID G. YOST owned land approximately 7 miles from Tazewlll on rt. 61 at edge of Clearwater Creek and Wolf Creek. Did not have time to find the land. Will give you any info I have.

The Yosts are buried in a family cemetrery with my Ayers up on a hill in a housing development in Tazewell. I had a 2nd cousin show us the cemetery. I'll have to write to her to get the directions. I never would have found it without her. My family is going again this summer if Darlene doesn't reply. Jennifer Bill Bryant wrote: > Hello, > My line extends from son DAVID G. YOST.

Hi List, Anyone out there have any information on the Claypool Family Cemetery? It's located adjacent to Greenhills Memory Gardens in Claypool Hill/Cedar Bluff. I spoke with the county tax office, and they have the property listed as both Claypool Family Cemetery and Claypool Hill Cemetery, but couldn't find an owner. Apparently there is a question as to whether or not cemeteries are taxable. I spoke with Greenhills Memory Gardens, and they have no information on the property. They maintain it in order to keep the tall grass from making their property look bad. Greenhills opened in 1958 according to their office, and the adjacent cemetery was already there. I know that several of my ancestors were buried there in 1936 and 1944, and some may be there from as early as 1906, but for some reason the stones have been removed. We all know about that problem! Anyone knowing anything at all about the property, or anyone with any suggestions as to where to go next, please let me know. Diana in Georgia

Hi, Carol. The date of birth for Julia was from a book written on the Harmons. I have the title and the author in my files if you want it. I don't know why the date of death isn't as exact.

I am looking for information on James Maxwell Hensley b. 1911 in Ky. He married Mildred Francis Houk. Mildreds family is from Hart Co. Ky. They moved to Hendricks Co. Indiana where he died March 27, 1988. It is possible his fathers name was Willie Thomas Hensley, but we are not sure. It is possible his parents died when he was young. He grew up in the home of Freida Young. I have no other information on him. If someone could help me locate his family I would surely be greatful. Thank you, Lisa Marcum

Hi Jennifer Based on a number of sources, including George B. Gose, the 1850 and 1860 census records I have compiled the following. The birth years are approximate and based on the 1850 census records, which may differ by several years from the 1860 census or other sources. How did you get such an accurate birthdate for Julia? I also have many decendants of some of the children and lots of ancestors. Can you read a GedCom file? Carol John Yost Sr. b. abt 1777 d. after 1860 (1866?)

My wifes family came out of SW VA in about 1790 to near Kingsport, TN then later on to AL and MS. John Hankins moved into TN and married Dicey Olliver there in 1797. His father-Richard Hankins lived in Montgomery Co, VA and other places in VA. He came South with John and died near Kingsport in 1800. Could this be the same family you were refering to. I have the line down to present day with siblings and some locations if you believe so. Contact me direct if you wish.

Dear Carol, I have the name of a daughter - Julia Yost b. 8-1-1815 & died 1853 in Tazewell. Her husband was Henry W. Harman. There is a cemetary in Tazewell that has a lot of Yosts, but I didn't think at the time to write any down. My family is going in August & I can ask them to go back & write down the info on the tombstones. Do you have any of Julia's sibling's names?

Scott, if you are going to Tazewell, you can stay at the Tazewell Co. Historical Society building, the Greever House on 100 East Main Street. (540-988-4069) . They have set up a few rooms, like a bed and breakfast. Call Pat Surface, she is an authority on Tazewell Co. history. Or Woodie Mullins. If you go to the Thompson Valley, visit T.E. Bowling in his store / tavern at Frog Level. He knows all the history by heart! Tell him I sent you!

Hi Emme I have Gose, but unfortunately he has a lot of errors. I am descended from Polly's brother, Lorenzo Dow.
