Morgan County (TN) Genealogical & Historical Society has a Face Book Group.You are invited to join this group.
Ok I have a family mystery on my hands and was told my 3X Great Grandfather along with 2 of his brothers were ordered to court in 1848 as Orphans. It has said that his father was 1842 Thomas Gill was a Road Commissioner in Morgan County,Tennessee. By change do you know if there is anywhere I can look to see if this is true?? I have had an issue with finding out any facts about Thomas or his wives (we think he was married twice) or the names of his children.
I have not seen the court records but was told that Marion and John were the other brothers.
Marion moved North and died in the Civil war and Curtis died on the way home it was said. Curtis was the Great Grandfather of Audie Murphy,, WW 2 Hero if that helps any.
Thanks so much

Was there a town named Frost they at one time?
I am trying to help a lady whose ancestors are from Morgan County become a member of the DAR. I need to find some kind of proof – Bible record? – showing that Julia Ann Stonecipher Kelly was a daughter of Martin Stonecipher. I have contacted the TN State Archives trying to locate her death certificate. They could not locate it. I have also been on ancestry.com. Also – no luck. I know that the Kelly-Stonecipher family was a prominent family in Morgan County. There are two federal census records which lists her in the household with Martin Stonecipher and his wife Nancy. Thank you for any help. A son named Vardaman Stonecipher has already been proven as a son of Martin. However, I don’t know how he was proven other than a death certificate.
Do you maintain the very old (1860-1960’ish) deed books from the Registrar of Deeds, or are they still housed in the Courthouse? Also, are they available for individual research wherever they reside? Thanks!
