Well Frieda, I live right dab smack in the middle of Easley and have for the last 40 years. I've heard about the Amersons and their families over the years. I was born in Oakland, California and still have cousins living in Sacremento and San Diego and Fresno and Santa Barbara. I have lived in San Jose, Gilroy, Redding and several other places I can't remember. My Mom & Dad traveled ALOT! There are still some families by the name of Berry and Amerson and Hallmark and Holder and Easley and a whole heep of Bynum's, Cornelius' and Allgood's and Murphrees. The other side of Ed's family are Moore. Now I could write a book on them, it would make the best soap opera. lol Ilene By the way lets just email each other instead of going through Rootsweb. efaulkne@otelco.net hagn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Frieda" <fjgb@sbcglobal.net> To: <alblount@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 29, 2006 9:11 PM Subject: Re: [ALBLOUNT] Murphree and Bynum Family Reunion, 1896 > Sounds good to me.
