• Notes

  "Uncle Eb" was the last child to leave his father's home place; he later lived on Boggs Ave. in South Knoxville. He was a carpenter and was active in the South Knoxville Baptist Church. In 1892 he and his brother-in-law, Marshall Walker, visited Loag Willson at Plano, Texas, and persuaded Loag's son Audley to return to Tennessee, which he did in the next year. [8]
