How clearly you have laid out the facts that DNA and Joy King's hard work have uncovered, confirming all of my best-guessed thoughts on our family history going back into the 1600s. Migration patterns are so interesting as well as heritage. Much can be gathered from migration patterns, I believe, along with family lines' proximity as we can "see" our people traveling into our mountains. I feel it can go far to fill in gaps - in terms of reasonable considerations. I am descended through 3 of George All and Agnes Sizemore's children; John Rockhouse, Susan and Rhoda. My Mattinglys mingle John Rockhouse and Susan down to through my g-grandmother, Nancy Mattingly, married to g-grandfather, Elhanon Sizemore b: 1858 - Elhanon was the youngest son born to Willis Sizemore, who was a son of Rhoda Sizemore by an unknown Combs man. Elhanon's mother was Nancy Murphy Collett - daughter of Elhannon Murphy b: Abt. 1795 and an unknown Collett girl (according to our family chart-maker from years ago, Uncle Jefferson Farmer Sizemore b: 1911 who lived his life with our people there in the Redbird River Region). Also my Ashers come together with the marriage of my paternal grandparents, Rev. B.A. and Sarah Slusher/Knuckles Sizemore. My double Bowling family line also comes down also through my Mattinglys to Nancy and Elhannon to Grandfather B.A. b: 1882 to my father, Ray Sizemore b: 1921. Again, thank you.
