For convenience of seeing where people fit into family lines, I suppose I ought to put some ancestry information here, and not just depend on the online database.
The names below are Clower, Breland, Bullock, Calhoun, Dillon, Everidge, Folsom, Hennesy, Kennedy, Knight, Lott, Miller, Mizell, Moore, Myles, Nobles, Pleasant, Richardson, Rodgers, Simmons, Smith, Thigpen, Welch, Williams. Their movements were all in the South.
This is one of my husband’s lines.
