This is a compilation of some of the more interesting details in our genealogy that I stumbled upon. Do not take this as original research and scholarship. My husband, an attorney, had to travel around the South taking depositions or trying cases. Wherever he went, I went to the local library and went first to the indexes of their books and if I stumbled upon one of our family names, I went immediately to the copy machine. Later I started a website to share what I found. Since I did not myself go into the bowels of the courthouse to pull original documents, I do not assert that all if accurate. Use it as a marker to help direct your own research. I have files and files of notes and records and many online genealogy friends. This has been a labor of love dedicated to my mother who challenged me to use the degrees she paid for in a direction she wanted me to go.
This book will be available on Amazon for $3.
