Note: I’m currently in the process of migrating all my genealogy research and blog posts to this site. You may notice some missing photos or data during the transition.

You can find my blog entries about West Tennessee history here

 

Throughout the early 1800s families settled in West Tennessee from all over the world. They cleared the forests and created farms, built schools and churches and began lives for themselves and future generations. These are the stories of those men and women in my family line who settled in Haywood County, Tennessee.
