I doubt that there will be any more genealogy posts, but I do have a good sized database on the subject and am always happy to share. I remember the Grimes name from a very long time ago -- but no more than the name. My best friend in the early 50's was Polly Cox, but I don't know her parents names. And yes, those Isbells certainly got around in that part of Polk County! I'd love to know your connection to them, and know if your ggrandfather is actually on my family tree. Send me an email and I'll find out, and let you know.<br /><br />If your Mama had cousins in Esom Hill, it's very likely that we are related, if only distantly. My mom was also from Esom, and her family tree includes just about all of the original names of people who settled that region.MsKittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09351871810353355382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5532437989518213944.post-3714736566073633742013-09-09T16:27:18.556-04:002013-09-09T16:27:18.556-04:00I stumbled across your blog when looking for somet...I stumbled across your blog when looking for something to do with Polk County History. It is rare to find a blog that focuses sometimes on places like Esom Hill. Mama had cousins over there. Their names were Grimes and Cox. Billie Sue Grimes Lott still lives very near the Silver Comet Trail when last I heard.<br /><br />I was born in East Polk County; we are from about the same era. I skimmed through your genealogy posts and saw a familiar name: Mama's Grandfather married two Isbell women (consecutively of course). <br /><br />I look forward to reading more about your part of Polk County once your travels are done. Sometimes I miss red hills.Jean Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09000315400392984647noreply@blogger.com
