Rhonda Well, that is interesting but hard to verify. I have a lot of Tennessee Hills that some later moved to Arkansas. This family sang alot and played fiddles but I can't imagine anybody getting a formal education in music. But they surprise me all the time. This is all I know about the Tennessee, connection. I sure would like to know more if this is any help to you or to anyone else please let me know. Paulette in NM Descendants of Frederick Francis Biggers Hill Generation No. 1 1.
