Hello,
I'm helping a lady in our genealogy society who is looking for info on the LAX family. & I would a listing for a LAX cemetery in Cocke co Tenn & wondered if there might be a listing of those buried there that we could check the LAX names & dates?

I found a William Lax in Wilson co. 1840, 2 boys under 10, he was 30-40, 1 female 10-15, 2 15-20 & a female 30-40. not sure it's the one I'm looking for?

1850 TN Cocke co ~ Dist 11
Elizabeth Lax age 51 b. VA,
Nancy " 18 b. in Tenn,
Obedience Lax 89 (abt 1761)
Obedience Lax 23 b. Tenn
William Lax 12 b. Tenn.

1860 Dist 8 Cocke co TN,
Elizabeth LAX 62, Robert Lax 33, William Lax 21

1870 ? I found in Bloomfield, Davis co Iowa,
a William Lax age 32 b. Tenn,
Amanda " 32,
Elizabeth 2
Martha C. 1
David B. Duncan 40,
wife Nancy (? LAX)Duncan 38,
Duncan kids Marton, Treeve, Adaline E., William & Albert
& Elizabeth Lax 72 VA
& Obediance Lax 45 Tenn

Amanda J. Lax b. March 1837 age 63 b. NC VA NC
William Lax b. June 1874 25, MO TN NC
Tom Lax b. May 1876 24, MO TN NC

Searching the Cocke Co. Genweb site, I found an interesting listing on Obedience Lax in the Minutes of Union Baptist Church of Christ, date 1846 "Church charged her with private intoxication (this could be the Obedience CASE listed earlier)"
& a "Elizabeth LAX 1844".

Thanks for any help you can share on the LAX family & LAX Cemetery in Cocke Co. TN with us.. & Happy Trails on all your researching in 2009 also.
