I am a retired medical doctor. All my life I heard my mother talk about her childhood in eastern KY and TN and I heard the names of family past and present. Similarly my father's family talked about family history that was partly folklore but interesting. I did not think to write any of these details down until some time after their deaths. Now those details are lost and I am trying to re-create those histories via the internet. I am trying to document information on Cushmans and Johnsons in Christian County KY and Montgomery County TN and Smiths in McCreary County KY and Scott County TN.
