Ivalon,

I'm sure you're aware that your Stokely family is quite well known and
researched in Cocke Co.?

I have read some of the works of Wilma Dykeman (wife of James Stokely) who
has written about that area in more than one book. I believe she is past
historian for the State of Tennessee and quite an interesing lady.

Bonnie
