New web page offering maps and surnames per 1840's

Please visit my new web page

I will be adding a lot of maps and early history that will be used in the Book.

First Family of Beaver Ridge Knox Co TN

Welcome to my history project. I have been researching for over 20 years. I started working on a history project for Beaver Ridge [Karns] finding the families that moved to this area prior to 1840. This family list is growing. If you believe you have family that came from this area first check the 1830/1840 census on my post. If you find a surname please add a post to this blog or contact me by email.

I will be writing a book and publish in 2015. Printed copies will be given to the Historical Society of Knoxville. I plan on including all the families that continued to live in this area through 1860. I will include land records, census, tax and court records if found. I will not be doing a genealogy study of the family lines but I plan on doing a family group sheet using census records.

At the present time I have decided to include families living in Solway and Dist 4 Anderson County. The families often tie into each other and I want to include the history.

Check back for updates to the surname list and I will be sharing some early maps I found.
