Do you know of Half Moon Island ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Half Moon Island. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Half Moon Island.<1>

Our sources for Half Moon Island (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Half Moon Island other than they indicate that Half Moon Island would be found somewhere in Roane County, Tennessee.
