This site reflects my search for roots; a glimpse of "from whence I came."  It is the quintessential American story -- escape from religious persecution and expansion beyond one's home in search of a better life.  Throughout my search many of the terms in this baby boomer's history books emerged -- indentured servitude, slavery, war, land grant, and Indians.

And a constant reminder of the human condition with all of its frailities -- love vs murder; peace vs war; health vs sickness, injury, and deformity; life vs death.  Whether short-lived or long, always death.

I'm struck by the sheer number devoted to their God and Church.  This is a heritage of which I'm proud -- layleaders and preachers abound.

In the end it's the stories that please and should endure.  There are precious few contained within, yet that which I hope to grow.

I'm only recently in the genealogy game and must admit much of the data on this site are the work, not of myself only, but rather of many.  Thanks to my cuz Lanier for all his encourgement and information.  I'm not the best at attribution, apologize when I should have, and do attribute when I have recorded my source.  Questions, comments, and additional data are welcomed.
