More newspaper abstracts

Glenn Teffeteller is a very busy man!
In November, the site coordinator for Monroe County emailed me to let me know that Glenn had abstracted some old Blount County newpspapers, but that the abstracts were sitting over on the Monroe County site. She contacted me to find out if I were interested in moving them over to the Blount County site - of course I was!
So, several weeks later, I have now added them to the Blount County Newspaper page. The abstracts cover time periods from 1832-1905 and include the following:
Religious and Literary Intelligencer 7/14/1832
Millennial Trumpeter 3/7/1835
Maryville Intelligencer 8/19/1837
The Advocate 11/19/1853
The East Tennesseean 6/8/1855 – 7/16/1858
The Independent 1/26/1876 – 6/21/1876
Blount County Standard 12/25/1877 – 1/12/1878
Maryville Democrat 5/25/1878 – 6/26/1878
Maryville Index 3/2/1878 – 6/5/1879
The Maryville Weekly Index 11/5/1879 – 4/23/1880
The Watchman 3/21/1882 – 12/20/1882
Maryville Watchman 1/10/1883 – 4/27/1883
East Tennessee News 5/1/1883 – 9/17/1883
The Maryville Record 3/4/1904 – 8/25/1905
I am searching for information or photos of my great grandparents, James Anderson Jr and Mary Lavey White. Born sometime in the mid to late 1800’s. To my knowledge both lived in Blount county. Not sure if they lived elsewhere before that. Any information would be appreciated.
