Was Mary Jane and William from Monroe County?
If so, there could be a connection.
Thanks for your response.

Looking for death date of Absalom Smith in Monroe County. Court records
indicate he was deceased by 1825.
By 1855 his widow Polly Hunt Smith had married Samuel Patterson. Would also
be delighted to find her death date.
Happy to share information on this family.
Gail

Caswell Lincoln Walker, Sr. and a lady with surname of Grayson had a son,
Albert Harrison Grayson born ca 1842 in Monreo Co., Tn. I am trying to find
the given name of the Grayson lady and her parents. Albert was in N. C.,
where at the age of 20 enlisted at Buncombe Co., N. C. on June 25, 1861. It
seems he remained in N. C. until a late age, removing to Texas, leaving his
wife, Eglentine Taylor and children, in N. C. He apparently took the Walker
name rather than using Grayson when enlisting. The

I was directed to this site by someone who lives in Tellico Plains. She is part of my Cantrell family who were one of the pioneer families to settle McMinn County. She just purchased my book on them, and suggested that I might find the Monroe County site interesting and she was right! The first thing I found looking over the site is a reference to Coker Creek.
My Cantrell family came originally from Rowan and Edgecombe Counties in North Carolina to settle in McMinn Co. I looked over the surname listi
Searching for any information pertaining to one Sarah Bayless who made her
will in Monroe Co., Tn 17th May 1853. She gives her entire estate to, except
her slaves, naming 10, Thomas Dixon Belott. I have been unable to determine
who this Mr. Belott is, and can not locate him on census records. I wonder
if perhaps the spelling is incorrect. Robert F. Cooke and John L. Hopkins
were her exec. Mr. Cooke wed into the Kimbrough family and his daughter Mary
wed Mr. Hopkins. John M. Blair, A. T. Hicks

Can someone do a lookup for me, please? I had it once before, but I
misplaced it. In the 1880 census there is a listing for a Mary Ann (M A)
Millsap and a couple of her children. Living a few doors down was another
Millsap and I misplaced his name. Many thanks, I promise to keep the info
this time. Also am still looking for where Riley Millsap ended up. Thanks
again.

RE: WILSON, Joseph, trader and farmer - TN/GA
Known to be living in TN- July 1806 when daughter, Mary Nancy WILSON was
born. He died in GA.
High probability the same as the Joseph Wilson, settler found in Cherokee
Ind. Territory 1801 (p. 4- Cherokee History - Monroe Co.) and 1805, father
of three children baptized: George, Fane, William WILSON (p. 7, Cherokee
History, Monroe Co.)
Nancy Mary Wilson, known daughter, was married in 1826 in Monroe County, TN
to John Miller. The Millers are found in the Fed
To Tom and Lynda, Thanks so much. Daniel C. is exactly who I was looking
for. Joy - Yes Riley was married to Mary Ann, and he did serve in the civil
war along with three of his brothers. I had received census information for
1870 many years ago, but the person who sent it to me did not include that
it listed Mary Ann as a widow. Riley was my great grandfather, and my grand
father died when I was one, so had no one to talk to about family
information. Again thanks to everyone.

>Anyone know who these Williams are? In Monroe Co. TN census of 1850:
John C. Williams and wife Susan F. (both born in TN); and Beniah

Hi Nancy,
I may be wrong, but I thought the microfilm read "Benciah & Nancy
Willisons" #1374. I copied directly from the microfilm reader and don't
know what any index on it records or what is online for it.
Again, I don't know but suspect this is a fa

For an extensive and detailed study of social/cultural and other conditions
in Monroe, Blount, Loudon (and surrounding area), I am focusing on
the HOWARD/McGHEE/JONES feud and would appreciate input from descendants
of the contemporaries of the feud events. This research will delve beyond
previous accounts. Any of your ancestors' memories of how these events were
perceived then, as well as how they are regarded today are appreciated.
