None of my immediate family submitted articles. I cannot believe that we missed such a great opportunity but there never seems to be enough time. Many of my lines are in the book. There is even a small mention of Atta Kulla Kulla, the uncle of Chief Red Head Will Weber. He was also the uncle of my Margaret Siniard who married Josiah Brock. There is an article on Margaret and Josiah in this book. There is info on James Thomas Siniard and Patsy Hicks along with a picture of their home in Collinsville built about 1910 by James Thomas' father. The Siniard/Sinard/Sinyard line has been fairly well documented by Lois Barrett O'Kelly in the 1970's and Delton Blalock in the 1980's. I am also related to Patsy Hicks Siniard through the same line. She is the granddaughter of my greatgrandfather John Franklin Henderson's sister Lucinda Henderson. (John Franklin was the son of Ida Arlivia Brown and granddaughter of Margaret Brock, Margaret was a granddaughter of Margaret Siniard.) There is an article on the Bean/Beane/Beene John Rankin (Estelee Beane Rankin's son) did an article on the Wynne family. He based his article on much of the information from his mother and Barbara Gonce Clepper, another Bean descendant who recently returned home to Tennessee after teaching school in Florence or Decatur for many, many years. Family along with a picture of my gggggrandfather's grave. It was submitted by Tom Rankin (Estelee Beane Rankin's son). There are many articles on the Brown family but I have not had time to compare notes to see how they fit my Brown line. My Brown line is very well documented because some of them became Mormons in the mid to late 1800's. There are also articles on the Blevins, Abernathys, Andersons, McClungs, Brocks, Brooks, Mitchells and others that I have not yet read thoroughly. I plan to put all related families into my database...........someday. As you already know, your Ellises are well represented. I was interested in seeing if Mark Brock is relaqted to my Brocks. He wrote an article on Lee John Ellis and his address is listed in Arab where Diane Brock Harbin lives------she wrote the article on Josiah Brock. I keep saying that all those DeKalb Co people are related. Of course, after living here in Cullman these last couple of years, I believe all these people have ties to the DeKalb Co people, as well. I am confident that you will thoroughly enjoy your book. I have to go read all the articles on the Ellis family, now. Have fun on the fourth, Glenda Alfred C.
