Thank you Connie for all your sites for Tennessee, so much great information.


I was wondering if there is a directory for 1890 and 1900 or such, looking
for George W. Morris, great-grandfather who moved to Knoxville from Kentucky
after 1880. I found records where he married a Mary Pine in 1860 in Knox County
Tennessee, then had 3 children born in Tennessee, then moved to Rich Pond
Kentucky sometime before 1880 as I found them in that census but cannot find heads
or tails of them in the 1870 census, almost like they disappeared. Some
questions I have in doing my research in Knox County Tennesee, especially the
Knoxville area
1) if there were any girls boarding schools around 1890 in Knoxville area,
as my grandmother (Katherine Morris and Mary Morris) and her sister went there
after their mother died, I believe it was a Catholic school but not really
sure.
2) if there are any directories or some type of information on dress shop
owners as Ellen Morris was a seamtress and owned a dressshop in Knoxville, she
died around 1915 after an accident involving a streetcar.
3) the names of the Catholic Churches in Knoxville from 1880 to 1910.
4) if the phone companies would have any archives as to who worked for them
in 1900, as my grandmother worked as a telephone operator up to her marriage in
1902 to Owen McMahon in Knoxville Tennesee I believe.

Thank you so much for all your help, it is much appreciated. Am searching
the 1900 census for Tennessee (Knoxville right now).
