Sometimes it can be funny studying history. I never knew my wife existed until I met her, no relations or idea of her family. However, her family on her mothers side settled near my family. They married each other a lot.
Years after we got married and really got into the history, we laughed we might be distant cousins or something.
Anyway, it is funny in their old plantation grave sites and ours, you can find both names...
But I think we're OK......
All the family concerns tend to come from my mothers side. She was a Presley from the same linage of Elvis, but far removed. My great great grandfather on her side, about all we know was comes from a family bible, his date of death {hung by Union} My grandmother lived to 100, she said he rode with Mosby's Rangers (Mosby's Raiders if you're a Yank}
