William Baumann Family

The Baumann family is intertwined with my family several ways. The family begins with William Baumann and Catherine Schneider. Their first daughter, Catherine, is the mother of Ella Catherine Caldwell, who married Levi Jones Price. Their second child, William Frederick, was the husband of Mary Ella Roberts (daughter of Edward Roberts and Ann Price). Their eighth child, Lovinia Rachel, married Thomas Price Roberts, brother of Mary Ella Roberts (son of Edward Roberts and Ann Price).

Price-Galbraith family

The Price family joined the Galbraith family with the marriage of Elizabeth Price (daughter of Abraham "Abram" Jones Price and Annie Richards) to Joseph John Galbraith in 1907. I was given this picture of Elizabeth "Bess" by someone, though I cannot remember who (I lost the e-mail and picture through a crashed hard drive, but had saved the picture to my Dad's computer). I found out about them by the fact that they had the other half of a cemetery section that my great-great-grandmother, Ann Richards Price, had purchased. I would love to see more pictures of them and learn more about them in my continued search for my family.

John Richards

I am still learning more about my 4th great-grandfather, John Richards. He came from Wales on August 26, 1848 with his wife and four of their children. They took up residence in Danville, Montour County, Pennsylvania. After he retired from working he moved south to Knoxville, Knox County, Tennessee (where his sons and one daughter lived). I know more about the sons of this family, but I do somewhat know about one of the daughters. I have yet to learn what happened to the other.

Thomas Family

I have just recently learned more about my Thomas family and thought I would post some information on them. I have found the passenger list when my great-great-great-great-grandparents, David and Ann (Williams) Thomas, came to America from Wales. They arrived on December 4, 1863 on the Hibernian. David and Ann came with four children: Benjamin 22 yrs, Caroline 18, David 16, and William 11. One of their older children, Ann, came over in August 1848 with her first son, John, to join her husband, Joseph Richards.

Digital Photography

I forgot to add Digital Photography to my Researcher for Hire post. I go to cemeteries in the Knoxville and surrounding areas. I currently have pictures from cemeteries in Knox, Blount, Sevier, Monroe and Roane County, Tennessee; Marion and Dillion County, South Carolina; Montgomery County, Virginia. I can also take pictures of buildings (i.e. Churches).

I had someone ask me to accompany them to a cemetery in Anderson County so that I could take pictures for them. We walked around the cemetery finding all the different relatives and came across a headstone that was large and held a lot of information. The only problem was we could barely read it! The sun was behind the stone and the front had some wear. We sat for a while to write out all the information before heading on to find more relatives. A little while later we came back by that stone and what we saw was amazing. Oh the difference of the position of the sun! This is the picture I took after the sun rose directly overhead.


I have also taken many pictures of Churches, entrances to cemeteries, homes, and historic markers to name a few. This is a picture of St. John's Lutheran Church in Knoxville. It is on the National Register of Historic Places. It was built in 1913. This is across the street from Old Gray Cemetery. I remember the pastor at my great-uncle's funeral waiting for the church bell to chime thirty minutes after the hour before starting the service.

Bruce Bill Williams

I have had trouble gathering information about this man. I know that he is the second husband of my great-grandmother, Mary Price (her first husband was Benjamin F. Orr). I do not know when Mary and Bruce were married, but I know it was in the 1940's. I am also unsure about his name. My father said it was Bill, but on his death record it is Bruce. This picture of him is the only one I have ever seen of him.

Bruce "Bill" Williams was born in South Carolina on August 5, 1886. He was working in Oak Ridge, Tennessee in the 1940's when he was married to Mary. On the death certificate he is listed as a Store Keeper for the Atomic Energy Commission. Not sure what that means exactly. He died on August 10, 1953 of a brain hemorrhage. He was buried in Old Gray Cemetery in the family plot of his father-in-law, Thomas Rees Price.

Joseph Richards

Joseph Richards was born on August 11, 1826 in Wales to John and Ann (Evans) Richards. He was one of the five children born to John and Ann. On October 3, 1847 he married Ann Thomas. This union produced twelve children (and one adopted daughter), though only six lived to see their adult years. They settled in Pennsylvania where they lived, though in several different locations, until the 1860's. After the Civil War ended the family moved to Knoxville, Tennessee where Joseph along with his brothers and a Mr. Hiram Chamberlain started a firm which later was called the Knoxville Iron Company. Joseph stayed in Knoxville until the late 1870's and spent a brief time in Chattanooga, Tennessee as well as Portland, Maine before moving to Oliver Springs, Tennessee. Here is where he and Ann had a hotel by the mineral springs. The first hotel had thirty rooms, though the one that was later built after Joseph had died was a larger 150 room structure. Joseph died on December 31, 1888 in Oliver Springs, Tennessee.
