• Peters, Genevieve E. Know Your Relatives. Arlington, VA: G.E. Peters], 1953. Available at FHL FAM HIST Book 929.273 Sh23p; FHL US/CAN Film 875369; digital version at Heritage Quest Online ($). Discusses the Albright, Efland, Gibbs, Graves, Loy, Miller, Sharp, Snodderly, and Tillman families.
• Wilson, Marshall A. Families of Norris Reservoir Area. Clinton, Tennessee: Pellissippi Genealogical and Historical Society, 1986. FHL US/CAN Book 976.8935 D2w.

Norris Dam on the Clinch River in Eastern Tennessee was a project of the Tennessee Valley Authority in the 1930s. Nearly 3,000 families, totalling almost 14,000 persons, were required to vacate land that was to be inundated by the resulting reservoir. In connection with the removal of families and gravesites, Mr. Wilson, a TVA official, collected historical and genealogical information about Norris Valley residents; he presents information about 75 of those families, along with a brief chronology of the area. Each family record begins with the name of a father and the name of that man's father, continuing through other ancestors of the direct male line back to the earliest one known. Families represented by ten or more male heads of household include Agee, Carden, Hatmaker, Irwin, Longmire, Miller, Rice, and Sharp.
