Juanita, My Bitners came to IN from PA. There is a lass, Jo Faltysek at mailto:natlite@codenet.net who is researching TN Bitners. I have four John Bitners in my database, but not much info on any of them. None of them from TN...that I know of. Let me know what you find out. Happy Hunting, Frank W.

Adam with someone but just can't find anyone. I think it's interesting that I am also researching Bitner in Rush Co. IN. John (Jacob) Bitner and family came from Wautaga Tn area in l830s. Any connections? Juanita Wise Santos
