Bio

I was born 2 Jul 1950 at home in Monroe County, TN near the Blount County, TN line (Punkin' Center). I 1st married Rosaly E. Edwards born 25 Sep 1949 in Germany and died from Cancer 1 May 1984 at Blount Memorial Hospital (2 daughters) - father from GA and mother from Germany.
2nd married Patricia E. Trentham (1 daughter) - father from Sevier County, TN and mother from Madison County, AL.
My dad, John Clayton Carver, born 30 Oct 1901 in Monroe County, TN and killed, 29 Aug 1968 near our house in Blount County, TN while operating our farm tractor.
My Grandfather, Henry Washington Carver, born 17 Dec 1874 in Murray County, GA. My supposed great grandfather, Cornelius C. Carver had divorced my great grandmother, Mary Jane Thompson in 1871 in McMinn County, TN (my DNA indicated grandpa Henry was the illegitimate son of a LAMBERT from McMinn County, TN). I don't think he nor his later family knew his name should have been LAMBERT. Grandpa was known to drink allot. On 23 Sep 1933 he had been arrested by Deputy Joe Steele and taken to Esquire King where he submitted to a charge of drunkenness. They left the King place and were on Hwy 72 near Big Gully Road when my father & mother drove up. A scuffle started between grandpa, the arresting Deputy Joe Steele and my dad. The Deputy's gun accidently discharged killing grandpa. My dad got the gun and shot Deputy Steele twice. (My mother was there and saw what actually happened).
My paternal great grandparents by DNA match were Tennison M. & Catherine Palmer Lambert.
My grandmother, Sarah "Sallie" Elizabeth Caylor, was born 22 Jul 1878 in Monroe County, TN and died 24 Mar 24 1967 at our home in Blount County, TN.
