Tanyua,
The places you mention are in or near Johnson County, TN.The expert on the Johnson County Morefields is Phyllis Morefield.She has masses of material on them.They are related to my line, but they migrated from the Halifax/Patrick Co. area of VA to Johnson County considerably before the Civil War while my grgrgrgrandfather and someof his grown children moved to Hawkins Co, TN between 1865 and 1869.I don't recall exactly where the connection is, but I think it was an uncle or cousin of my grgrgrgrandfather (Allen Morefield) who founded the Johnson County branch.I will e-mail you privately with Phyllis's e-mail address.
Best,
Pat Moorefield Seaver
