Over the past decade, I have discovered that genealogy is
not only challenging, but incredibly addictive. Every spare moment is spent
trying to find one more tidbit on a family member. It is amazing how many
times you can stumble on something or someone you have been searching for
when you weren't even looking for them!
As with all genealogy research, the following family lines are not complete
by any stretch of the imagination. I have broken them down by state and county
as well as surname to make them easier to look through.
Please note that my research comes from personal information,
familial interviews, the Tennessee State Archives, various published resources
I own (see listing below) and from information I have acquired from resources
such as Ancestry.com and 'distant' relations who have conducted their own research
and assure that it is correct to the best of their knowledge.
As with
any genealogical information, please do not assume everything is always
accurate. The first rule of the internet is consider the source. Feel free to
borrow from my family files but please give me credit in your files
and reference the sources indicated. If you have documented corrections, please
let me know and I will make sure that
my information is revised immediately.
Please feel free to sit back and visit with my family. If you find a relative, let me know.
Please click on the individual
state graphics below and see all the Bible Records, Cemetery Records, Marriage
Records, Death Records, Land Records, Wills, etc.

Nothing can be preserved that is not good.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.
-Thomas Campbell
Our today's and yesterday's
Are the blocks with which we build.
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Memory
Into my heart's treasury
I slipped a coin,
That time cannot rust
Nor a thief purloin;
Ah, better than the
minting
Of a gold-crowned
king
Is the safe-kept memory
Of a lovely thing.
-Sara Teasdale
