I was born and raised in Tennessee and married a man from Kentucky over 40 years ago. We have family connections in Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Louisiana, Indiana, Arizona, Alabama, Texas, etc.

We are related to families with the following surnames: Bedwell, Carter, Chapman, Croley, Dillon, Furches, Madden, Madding, Mathis, Norton, Owen(s), Parker, Paschall, Reed, Shardy, Wilson, and Woodson.

I enjoy genealogical research and love "grave hopping" on pretty days. I coined that term and it means finding relatives graves and taking pictures of headstones and markers. I love writing about my ancesters' family and community lives.
