Summary:

The majority of my paternal ancestors dating back to the early 1800's resided in Dickson County,

TN for most or all of their lives. Likewise, the majority of my maternal ancestors dating back to the early 1800's resided in Humphreys County, TN for most or all of their lives. This has significantly simplified research during that time period, and I feel that it helped make us a closer family as a result.

Detail:

Because of occasional mis-use of genealogical information found on the internet today, and in order

to respect the privacy of family members still living, I am no longer posting detail information directly on the web. However, those with a legitimate interest, such as relatives (close or more distant) and friends may contact me at the e-mail address provided below, and I will be happy to supply information in the area of your interest. I maintain a fairly large gedcom file created using "Personal Ancestor File".
