| The people pictured below are each a part of my genetic structure. I'm very proud of each of them and pleased to call them all "my ancestors". They had large families and they fought in wars. Some of the women washed their family's laundry on washboards. They raised gardens, canned and preserved food, raised chickens, pigs and livestock, worked in coal mines and on the railroad. Some were also, farmers, merchants, barbers, a midwife and an Evangelist. Education for most of them was very limited. They survived debilitating diseases such as smallpox, and experienced severe burns and great losses. They were strong willed people and no doubt some of them enjoyed an occasional Saturday night brawl. They wear the surnames of Conley, Artrip, Salyers, Blanton, Lafferty, Faverty, May, Massie, Pennington, Webb and Sturgill. |
