Tarheel born but South Carolina raised, I have been researching my roots since my days at Queens in Charlotte, the epicenter of my mother's family. Families of most recent interest include Abernethy, Whisnant, Williams, and Bennett, but I have also traced her family to the earliest settlers in the Hornet's Nest--Patriots and Loyalists, Confederate soldiers, and a rather large contingent of Baptist preachers. The internet has become a wonderful tool.
