I started a little over 6 years ago. My paternal line beyond my grandfather was obscure, at least to us. So that was my focus starting out. Branched out from there. (no pun intended).Awe cool! I like me some history too. Good to have commonalities with you and some of the others here, or we’d all be bored to tears, eh? lol
I've always been a history buff.
Sad they didn’t grant him his request, but I haven’t gone into my family extensively enough to know the answer.
Looks like you’ve done your homework.
My 3x Grandfather was a confederate soldier. The Tennessee State Library & Archives, sent me a copy of his pension application. (Any soldier who was wounded was eligible, no matter the side).Sad they didn’t grant him his request, but I haven’t gone into my family extensively enough to know the answer.
1. It was neat because I was reading his ACTUAL handwriting and 2, his answer to question 7.
See attached.
Needless to say, he application was DENIED.
I don't do facebook either. LOLWell, that’s where the other one sent me. lol

He was the first the first permanent settler in Cades Cove (Appalachia). And I'm related to Bettie Page. She was my grandmothers first cousin as their moms were siblings.

I think the link is broken, or FB wants me to get a profile, but I’m not interested in FB because of privacy issues and that’s a high caliber on my list of websites I’ll never attend, but it’s fine, no big deal.
Neat! Then I know somebody famous. ✌️
Strangely enough, I am actually related to Jenny Wiley AND Henry Skaggs (the fellow that freed her).
This guy is in Eastern Kentucky. Maybe he's not far from you. https://www.facebook.com/Kentucky-Gravestone-Restoration-Services-180621582286308/?fref=tsI think the link is broken, or FB wants me to get a profile, but I’m not interested in FB because of privacy issues and that’s a high caliber on my list of websites I’ll never attend, but it’s fine, no big deal.
Jenny was a white woman who was captured by Indians.Interesting history to the attached marker. I know one that had soldiers buried there from the revolutionary war and buried in a small colonial cemetery that’s since been abandoned in the middle of the wilderness. Nasty place because of bears and such, but nevertheless has its own beauty. However, because of the bears I’d never stay there overnight unless I’m in my vehicle which I’ve done once. lol
