My roots are in Tennessee! That is where I was born and where I have lived my entire life. All of my 16 second great-grandparents made their home and raised their families here! Many of their ancestors migrated to the state before it was officially a state, settling primarily in the Eastern portion of the state. This place is dedicated to my ancestors, their journeys and my journey to know them over the last 48 years or so.
Every ancestor has a story to tell – some are more exciting than others – but they all lived and loved for however long they were on this earth. This site is a place to tell those stories and offer insight into their lives – who they were, where they lived, who they married … and any other facet of their lives that captures their time on earth. It is also a place to share the research for an individual – the theories, the facts … in hopes that others can help fill in the blanks. So – Welcome! Pull up a chair, grab a cup of your favorite drink and let me introduce you to them!
