Bio
I am a 7th generation east Tennessee native and am researching all lines of my immediate family who settled mainly in the Upper South USA. As a genealogist and family historian, my goal is to trace every branch as far as possible and share my passion with others who value documented proof rather than folklore. I enjoy connecting with cousins far-and-wide with whom I share a mutual ancestor so we may grow in knowledge from our combined research.
My interests are:
~ First Families of Tennessee project
~ Rains, Collins, Adkins, Disney, Lasley families settling in Upper East Tennessee (18th & 19th centuries)
~ Wheatley, Finney, Johnson families of Wilkes County, NC (18th-20th centuries)
~ Shular/Shuler families of Grayson & Smyth counties, Virginia
~ DAR Patriots
~ Multiple branches/clans who settled in the mountains of Virginia, North Carolina, and upper east Tennessee, from the Jamestown Settlement, through current day.
