I am looking for information on my ggrandfather's parents. My ggrdfather's name was Oscar FRIZZELL. I found him and his family listed on the 1880 Hamilton County census ad follows: Nathan 30, Rebecca J. 30, William R. 9, Benjamin F. 11, Mary A. 6, Margaret E. 4, and Osten L. 1. I was always told that Oscar went by "Oss", I guess that would be short for Osten, so I'm not sure where Oscar came in.. I received Oscar's death certificate in the mail, and it says that he was born February 26th, 1878 in Tn, and he died July 28th, 1936 in Soddy Daisy Tn, Hamilton County. His wife was May Kaylor, and his parents were Nathan and Rebecca J. (WILSON) FRIZZELL, both being born in Tn. It gives his occupation as a Kiln Fireman. Does anyone out there have any information of Nathan or Rebecca FRIZZELL? If so, please contact me. Many thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to help me. Kim

I am searching for any cousins from one these two YEAROUT Great Uncles. One is Lemuel YEAROUT who was born 1865. Uncle Lem married Maggie NORRIS 1898. He resided in Chattannoga for a period of time and worked as a bellhop at a local hotel. His daughter, Edna died in Chattanooga during the early 1900's. He had several other children.
The other Great Uncle was Calvin YEAROUT who was born between 1865 and 1876. He married Mary PENDERGRAFF (?) and is listed as an ironworker in Knoxville, but he did relocate to Chattanooga for a period of time. I was told that he once fell from a scaffold in a fall of about 40 feet, but grabbed hold of something which broke his fall and saved his life. I think this may have happened in Chattanooga, but not sure.
Recently I did have a streak of great luck in locating the family of the third missing Great Uncle, the family still resided in Hamilton County. This was William YEAROUT who married Minnie LANE. There were 7 children in this family which went under two different surnames. I have located cousins from 5 of them. The other surname was STINNETT, which has made my work extremely hard. I do have complete info on the 5 if anyone wants to share information.
Thanks very much, and please reply directly to me at werhere42@aol.com

Please contact us with any information at DTSS@blomand.net The birth is listed as Legitimate so we feel sure these two people married.

I'm still looking for information about Academy Hospital, which operated in the Masonic Academy in Chattanooga during the Civil War. In particular, I'm trying to find what happened to the records of the hospital. The hospital was taken over by the Union at some point, and they continued to operate it as a hospital. A photo exists of the hospital during Union occupation, with Union ambulance wagons shown in the foreground. Marcus LOWE (41st Alabama Infantry of the Kentucky Orphan Brigade) died there in January 1865, and he is one of the unknown soldiers buried in the Confederate Cemetery in Chattanooga. I'm hoping to determine if he died of wounds received at the Battle of Murfreesboro, or from exposure, or both. I'd also like to find out where the hospital was located. Thanks to those who have already replied to me with information.

I am looking for my gr.gr.grandfather J.M. DRAKE and his second wife Elvira. Children with him on 1910 census are Cora age 23, Chase E. (possibly Charles) age 15, Icy (probably Dicy) age 14. I believe this to be the same John M. DRAKE, born 1839 in Warren/Van Buren County, who raised his earlier family in McMinnville with first wife Mary Ann DODSON, and was widowed soon after 1880. Children from first marriage settled in Alabama and Texas.
J.M. and family are in "Civil District #6" on 1910 census, anyone know what part of the county this might be? Where does one go to do genealogical research for Hamilton County? Where are county records held? Is there access to Tenn. death certificates anywhere? ANY HELP IS WELCOMED!

Looking for information on J.B. THOMAS and/or Julia WARDELL, his wife. His given name may have been James or Jim. In 1880 he was 54 years old and living with his wife Julia Ellen WARDELL, age 27. At that time they had three children, Joseph E. (born 1875), Robert Lee (born 1879) and William (born 1880). He is believed to have been born in Virginia; she is believed to have been born in Tennessee.

For an extensive and detailed study of cultural 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. HOWARD and JONES families had strong ties to Hamilton county, and Hamilton county papers carried accounts of the feud episodes. 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. Reply privately
