Thank you.This gives me another avenue to research at least.My grandpa was very unsure of the spelling, he was sounding the name out from memory (which had faded significantly by that time) and guessing at the spelling.And I've discovered since he died (by sorting through his things) that he was not very good at spelling.I'm going to look into anything that sounds similar to Tuoson in the Knoxville area, and take into consideration the southern accent...he didn't stay in Tennesse, he moved to Michigan and did not have a southern accent as far as I could tell, so since he was sounding it out from memory, he may be throwing a little souther accent into it.Who knows!This one's going to take some work.
