You can so a search for Oak Ridge, Tennessee.  After that, do a search for newspapers there.  Most major newspapers will have a obituary search.  I hope that helps.

Hogoheegee is an American Indian word. It’s the name the natives gave to what’s now called the Tennessee River and, some say, its tributaries, including Southwest Virginia’s Holston. The word means, simply, "big river."

before rutherford, the atom was considered to be a homogenous object - kind of blobby and with its mass evenly spread out in space.  the current model of the atom with the mass concentrated in the nucleus at the center was rutherford's creation.  furthermore, rutherford didn't merely theorize the existence of the nucleus, he experimentally verified it.  \n\n(actually there is kind of a neat story to this - rutherford had been forced to take on an undergraduate student, named ernst marsden.  rutherford was investigating the way a thin foil of gold could make a beam of alpha particles spread out and become diffuse.  \n\ndealing with the undergrad was kind of a hassle, so rutherford got him out of his hair by giving him a task to keep the student busy - looking for particles reflected backwards from the foil.  \n\nhe didn't expect marsden to find anything, but was certainly surprised when the young student did, and this discovery of back-scattered radiation was some of the first (and still, damned good) evidence for the existence of the nucleus.)\n\nhe also generated the modern theory of radioactivity, was the first person to cause (by artificial means) a nuclear reaction, experimentally verified the age of the earth, invented a radiation-sensing device that was the precursor to the geiger counter, and even discovered the phenomenon that modern smoke detectors use in their normal operation.  all in all, he was a giant in the annals of physics.

I went to Harpeth Hall with Reese Witherspoon in Nashville, TN. I'm bestfriends with her brother John(we call him Spoon) and his wife Jenny(who went to Hillsboro High in Nashville). I also know Shelton Williams(Hank, Jr. III). He went to Franklin High School in Frankin, TN. He is in the 1990 yearbook fighting with Rob Galbreath. No one won because the cops came. My great uncle, Gorden Stoker, was a back up singer for Elvis(the Jordanaires). I have plenty of pictures. I am also related to Amy Grant. She is my cousin by marriage. My mom grew up next door to the Grant's in Nashville and we still see Dr. and Mrs. Grant in Destin,Fl where they have a condo(have pics of our families together). I also know Keith Urban.My good friend Lou, use to live with him when he first came to Nashville and wasn't too famous. I have pictures of us partying at Tootsie's, in downtown Nashville,for Lou's birthday in October of 2003. I know more,but I'm tired of typing. It pays to grow up in Nashville!!

I may be wrong but I believe it was Rutherford B Hayes. He was born in Ohio, and I think he prefered them in a sweet potatoe pie. If I am wrong, forgive me.

I think that they should have been called the "tennessee Tuxedo's' after the cartoon penguin....but to answer your question...Titans in greek mythology were giants who ruled over the world before the greek gods, led by zeus, defeated them

Start with the location that most , or the oldest, recorded events took place.  This type of Bible was widely sold around the time of the Civil war.  Use the link to USGenweb in my sources box to locate the state, and then county that the bible belongs in.\n\nClick through the state to the county and first post a query on the specific county website.  If they have a search option, search for people with the right last names.  If these turn up no interested descendants, the county library may have a genealogy department that will take it, or there may be a historical society for the county that will take it.\nAlmost all genealogy information is held at the county level.  Good luck.  \nI hate for such information to be lost as well. Some slipped through my own hands when I was younger and I regret it deeply.
