Bio

Born in Nashville, TN. Ancestors date back to 1870s (per limited research), with great grandfather, John L. Moore born 1875 and wife, Mattie Threet (per birth certificate) Moore 1876. John L. Moore bought cemetery plots from Greenwood (Elm Hill Pike) back in early 1990s. Thus my heritage is partly Tenn. Other part is Sampson County NC via a slave named Robinson who bought 240 acres of land from his slave owner upon emanicipation. The farm was in his name until the late 1990s as ONE of his daughters who lived there never changed the deed. There is still questions as to whether I am part owner - however, there is a cemetery of over 200 bodies dating back to the civil war (cemetery name changes but linked with a funeral home in the area). Most of the family on both sides live to the age of 70-90 and I have a decade or so to reach that - thus, perhaps I will be able to compile more on the pages of the Kimbro (Kimbrough), Moore, Robinson and Wright family - or perhaps a cousin (via my paternal grandmother's blood line - of a sister who walked away from the farm and lost ties to it for decades) I have linked with (Devante) will pick up more on the Robinson line and carry on the heritage of my bloodlines ...
