Added Brimstone:
mountain homeplace of the Griffiths
Only a few families live now in what is known as "the head of
Brimstone" and no one lives where the old home places were around
the mountain tops. Only a few chimneys and fruit trees mark where the
subjects of this story lived and raised their families. But most of the
remaining families can trace their ancestors back to Revolutionary War
Joseph Griffith.
Added copies of original pictures of Martin Van Buren Bates and his wife Anna Hannon Bates to the FNB article, The Giant of the Hills: Martin Van Buren Bates, from Vol. 7, No. 2, Winter 1996. These pictures were not part of the original article but were later donated to this site courtesy of John Burch. John said, ". . . I was visiting [parents] recently, and being a packrat, I went to several garage sales when there. These pictures were in an envelope of old photos that I found at one of the sales. I was very surprised, to say the least, at the size of these individuals, and knew that they must be of some historical significance. I got them for a very reasonable price, and was thrilled when I got home and found out their history from your site and others. I do believe that they must be quite rare, and am happy that you enjoyed them."

of Scott County Civil War veteran are alive and well today!
(courtesy of the Independent Herald)
This is an amazing story! A couple of weeks ago [Apr 2001], Fred
Griffith of Helenwood walked into the Independent Herald office
and handed an old faded photograph across the counter. He
explained he was bringing the photo to be copied in response to an
appeal made by the Scott County Historical Society for pictures of Scott
County Civil War veterans. Griffith explained the man in the photo
was Hamilton Griffith, the woman was his wife, Mary Helen Lowe Griffith,
and the little girl was their daughter, Elzada. And, without
taking a breath he pointed to the man and said, "That’s my daddy,
there."

date, a license date, or an actual marriage ceremony date. I have
taken the list and merged the names and dates with other names and dates
found on the Scott Co, TN Marriages

Scott Co, TN 1850 Federal Population Census
Added the following comments to the notes section to
clarify issues with the census transcription (as requested by the
transcriber Carla Robertson):
"Apparently, when the census taker captured this
information, he didn't understand what he was supposed to do. Instead of
putting a mark in the box for “Color” (column 6), he wrote down the
total number of people in the family. In the column for “Married
within the year”, he put a year date. It could be the year they were
married, but it doesn't always check out that way. In the column for “Attended
school this year”, he put a year date. It may be the year they started
school or the year they finished school, but have no way of knowing
either way."
Added Morgan County Newspaper Obituaries, 1916-1934; compiled by Julie Cromwell; 2001; B & D Etc., 193 Phillips Flats Rd., Oneida, TN 37841; 179 pages with index; this book contains Newspaper Obituaries taken from the original copies of the "Morgan County Press" and "The Morgan County News" and some contributed obituaries from other sources. Information was copied 'AS IS' to preserve the language and wording of the time. There are lots of misspelled words and lots of missing punctuation. Some of these 'death notices' were only a line in the community news sections and others are very long and very 'wordy' in an attempt to honor the deceased. Every effort was made to include the entire obituary. Price $30.00 including tax, U.S. Mail shipping $4.50 for the first book and $1.25 for each additional book ordered.

Pemberton: Making a Difference
Bromma Lane Parnell grew up in a large and loving family in which hard
work, church, and community were the ties that bind. Born November
29, 1909, in Oliver Springs, a tiny coal-mining community at the edge of
Anderson County in East Tennessee, she was the second eldest of eight
children. Her parents, John C. Parnell, a hard-working coal mining
contractor, and his homemaker wife, Vesta Ruffner Parnell, gave their
second daughter an unusual name.

The Howard Bros. Circus was created by Howard Tibbals of Oneida — a
"hobby" that has evolved for almost 40 years. Tibbals has
devoted over half his life to the research, design and painstaking
creation of his colossal model, billed as "the world’s largest
miniature circus."
Added Reminiscing
through bank's county's history
On the occasion of its 80th anniversary in 1984, First
National Bank of Oneida published a special booklet, filled with text
and photos not only about our institution, but about the town, the
county and the region. Here is the text of that special publication.
Added Abstracts of Scott County
Marriages . . . from the records of the Scott County Historical Society
(Part II)
This article, as it appeared in the Independent Herald, simply listed
the husband's name, the wife's name, and a marriage date (from 1868
through 1875). It is not clear if the marriage date is a bond
date, a license date, or an actual marriage ceremony date. I have
taken the list and merged the names and dates with other names and dates
found on the Scott Co, TN Marriages
page. I did this to provide a single location for finding
information on marriages performed in Scott County.
Added Sam
and Gladys Blair
