Welcome to East
Tennessee! The photograph
is of the Nolichucky River, between Erwin and Jonesborough. After
six years, I'm redecorating and rearranging this site, so please excuse
the construction dust and any broken links!
Our roots are buried deep in the hills of
East Tennessee.
My mother's families, descendants of Frederick Tillman White and
Jesse Davis, were present in Greene Country prior to 1800 and remained
there when other family members migrated west to Kansas and
Missouri.
My father was born in Jonesboro, the home of
his Sevier
and Cunningham ancestors. The Cunningham, Sevier, Galbreath and
Blair
families were early settlers of Washington and Greene Counties.
Captain
Robert Sevier, my 4th Great Grandfather and younger brother of General
John Sevier, died from wounds received at the Battle of King's
Mountain.
My East Tennessee families and projects have
become so
many, I thought it would be helpful to create a "Gateway" site for my
East
Tennessee research, including my family Gedcoms, early 1900
photographs,
vintage postcards of East Tennessee towns, and the "public" ETN web
sites
I host. Enjoy your visit!
