Hester was born in 1795 in SC and was living in Cocke Co TN in the 1850
census. Her father was John Giles of Virginia. She had a brother named
Jesse (he married Phoebe Baxter) and a sister, Rhoda (she married James
Baxter).
My question is: Who was the father of Hester's children (Elizabeth,
Perrin, Nicholas, Jane, Nathaniel and Reuben)? They also used the "GILES"
name. In the 1850 census, she was listed as head of household.
Thank you for any information you might have.
I have a question for the list. My great grandfather's brother John
Franklin Holt died on Dec 9, 1915 from Typhoid Fever. His death
certificate, which I got today, says place of burial "Salem" or "Salena",
at least that is what it appears to say. Anyone have any idea if there is a
cemetery by either of these names in Cocke County?

I am posting this message to multiple lists in the hope that someone will
be able to give me a clue to work on.
I am looking for a 2nd-great grandmother, Eliza Bryant Shields. Both her
husband's and daughter's death certificates give her name as Eliza Bryant.
In fact, she was the informant for her husband's, so I'm assuming it is
correct.
Eliza's father was born in Tennessee and her mother in Indiana. All census
records indicate that she was born around 1865-70 in Missouri. Sometime
around 1895 she m

Hi,
I am searching for information on my GG Grandmother Martha Ann Ball b. abt. 1864 who married Samuel Mooneyham in 1888 in Cocke County, TN.
She may have had a brother by the name of John Riley Ball.
Her Children were: George, Ruben, Gracie, Maggie, Morning, etc. (can't recall them right off).
If anyone has information, please, contact me at: valentine@mail.smnet.net
Thank You,
Please take the time to read my "novel". It is
very important to me and I find that I enjoy
reading postings like this when I see them. Our
family histories are so interesting!
Has anyone out there run across any
Dungee/Dungey/Dungys or Lane/Laine/Laynes yet???
My line left Giles Co. for Southern
IL-(Williamson Co.) by 1850-both lines are a
deadend for me in either COCKE or Giles Co.
They were in Giles before the IL move, but...
at least one son was born in Cocke in the 1820's.

I need to talk to someone about the following information on the TN Cocke
Co. list.

The only suggestion I can make is that there are massive amounts of Justice
families in Buncombe and Haywood Counties of NC. These counties are just
over the mountain from Cocke Co., TN.

My great-grandfather was Joseph Marshall Justus. He lived part, if not most
of his adult life in the Cocke County area. He died while living in Newport.
I am looking for information about his mother, Sarah Fowler. I only know
that the 1850 Sevier County TN Census said she was 27, and born in SC. Our
family has thought for years that she was from SC, and I recently located a
branch of the family who lives in SC. They think she came from Union County
SC. I have no idea when, or under what circumst

Does anyone have a copy of cemetery transcriptions from Fowler Cemetery near
Newport TN? I think it is located in Cocke County. I am trying to find a
couple of relatives, including my grandfather, and am not sure where to look.
I know he was buried in Fowler Cemetery, and I am hoping some of the other
missing ones may also be buried there. Thanks, Margaret
There is a Salem Road (in Cocke Co) that goes between Highway 321 and into
Greene Co. According to the Cocke Co map, there is one cemetery on that
road, sort of NE of Parrotsville, if this is the church, here is the contact
information.
SALEM LUTHERAN CHURCH
3001 SALEM RD
NEWPORT, TN
(423)623-8086
There is also a brief mention of Salem in the book, OVER THE MISTY BLUE
HILLS.
