All,
After too long a hiatus, I have returned and finally updated the Scott
Co, TN website. I apologize for the long delay (16 Jun was last
update), but I really have been busy. Honest! Too many trips out of
town this summer. Hopefully I can get back on our usual update cycle.
I know this update is not a particularly large one but it is a start at
getting back on schedule. I still have many things submitted by
visitors to the website that I still need to format or scan and format
before posting
Hi Maxine,
In the article the people are saying they had to do a little searching to
find the body and plane parts. I'm not sure where a mile northeast of
Whitley City would be located.
Hoyt Meadors is the one who went to the McCreary Record and had them look up
the article. Hoyt served during WWII and was overseas at the time this
happen. His mother wrote to him and told him about the man falling from the
plane. He still has the letter his mom wrote to him and wanted the article
to go along with the
McCreary Researchers
Since I initially posted the website to the mailing list in June numerous
items and archives have been added. This email is just a note that the
website has been updated with a new look and archives for those who are
interested.
Also recently I have completed a History and Dedication of the Sand Hill
United Baptist Church which is now available for purchase it is a 71 page
book with over 500 names in the church register. There is additional
information available online at www.clarkc
Hi,
Again, thank you for your comments. Do you descend from Isom Strunk and
Mattie King? If so, we are related on the Creekmores and Lovetts. I
descend from Anderson Barton Cox and Nancy Ellen Creekmore. I also descend
from Celia Lovett who married Daniel Caddell.

The McCreary County KyGenWeb has been updated recently with some old pictures taken from the Record's insert of 1997 called Family Ties. There are several pictures and if anyone has the originals I would be happy to have those on rather than the Newspaper pictures. There are so many that they will probably take time to download so please be patient. Just some of the surnames include: Murphy, Jones, Perkins, Hamlin, Hamblin and others.

All,
The Scott Co, TN website was updated today. A list of additions and
corrections is listed below.
I''ve included most of the pictures, obituaries, certificates, etc. that
people have sent me but unfortunately not all. I can't believe how far
behind I really got with posting your donations. Please bear me with me
as I get caught up.
I hope you drop by and are able to find something useful in your search
for your elusive ancestors.

Hello Friends & Cousins;
I know that some of you have given up on it but the 1930 Whitley County
Census Book is at last ready to ship. (It was a HUGE project!)
I have transcribed the complete census into a two-volume set with about 50
pages of photographs from the county and index. The two volumes total 1069
pages and includes 29,730 people. Each volume is indexed separately and
each volume contains articles and pictures significant to the area and the
time period.
One feature of the books that I am pr
I wanted to add that I currently have two copies of the 1930 McCreary
County Census on hand which could be shipped immediately with no waiting
for printing if you are thinking of ordering that book. (The book is still
available for ordering also.)
Thank you,
Margy
