MCDONNOLD posted by T.L. JENNINGS on Thursday, September 3, 1998: In Overton County in the 1830's several members of the MCDONNOLD family were living there. I would appreciate hearing from anyone that may have information on this family. It is my belief that members of the family went to SC and then to GA settling in the Atlanta area before the Civil War. Have info on the GA group and will share.

SMITH posted by Cindy Boyer on Thursday, September 3, 1998: My great grandfather's name was Harwell Mahue SMITH. He was born in Overton Co. - joined Union Army when he was 14 and served as an aide to his cousin - Colonel Buck Hull, who was Cordell Hull's father. I don't know the year of his birth but it must have been 1845 - 1855. His father died when he was young and he had been farmed out to landowners to work on farms because his mother couldn't support him and the other children. His mother's sister was Buck Hull's first cousin. My brother tells me that our great grandfather Harwell said this aunt's house was a stop on the underground railroad. I would like to find out the names of other family members. Harwell Smith became a Church of Christ minister in Morgan County after the Civil War.
