Welcome!  I hope you enjoy looking through our family tree.  I  am proud of our family and ancestors and wanted to put the information together in a  readable way to share.  Hopefully, you will enjoy reading through this. If you see  any mistakes I have made please let me know.  Some of my ancestors had more than one  birth or death date on different documents.  If you know for a fact that it's wrong I  will gladly change it.  Names on census sheets were sometimes spelled incorrectly  because either the person giving the information or the person receiving the info  didn't know how to spell it.  I have even found mistakes in death certificates.  That  aside, remember without these remarkable people we would not have been born.

While going through the time lines think of what happened at that time period.  Some  of our family members were in the Rev. War, Civil War, WWI, WWII.  We had family  members important to the beginning of our country and even a moonshiner.

Please remember that many family names went back and forth in a family.  Many people  in the past didn't travel far from home and married neighbors or cousins.  Sometimes  this happened many times and you wound up with a marriage maze.

Most of these family members on this site never used a computer, cell phone,  microwave, remote, plasma TV or any TV.  They still laughted, cried, played, worked,  lived and died.  Had good times and bad and valued their family.  I dedicate this  site to them.
