<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 4953628, member: 100459"]Now, if you want to know about my mother's parents and grandparents... She was raised in the hills of Tennessee. Her father was a deputy sheriff, but also a moonshiner. That was the only way he knew how to raise money to support his family. My mothers great, great grandparents came over to North America in the 1700's where they slaved in Strawberry Plains on the border of North Carolina. She had 8 brothers and sisters. She was raised in a home without plumbing and electricity. I had to stay with them when I was about 7 years old. (I'm 72 now.) My father said that my mother only married him to get running water and electricity. When she was 12, her father moved to Indiana. That's how she met my father. I won't go much farther because I could fill pages with the genealogy. By the way, her father gave me my first silver dollar when I was 13. I still have it. My other grandmother gave me a $2 bill. I also, still have it. Not in great shape tho. I am very lucky to have my family.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
