Thanks, Kay.

Then it would seem some of them wound up in Ducktown (which is Polk
County), Tennessee.
Their gravestones have been transcribed at:

Furthermore, this county is in the farmost southeastern corner of
Tennessee, and is bordered by North Carolina and Georgia....this is all
mountainous area.

As I said there are a few SPARGOs noted, a Trenna or two....and no doubt
other Cornish names that I just wasn't quick to identify as "Cornish."
This having been a BIG copper mining area, it's a good place to take a look.

All the best,
Sandy
