I know that my father was born in Summertown, TN around 77 years ago, and they moved to Mississippi County, MO sometime later. They had nine children that I know of: James, Ed, Claude, Joe, Billie, Mary Bell, Margaret, Betty, and Emma Lou. Could they possibly be who you might be tracing? I've heard stories that they had a sketchy past before my dad was born. Then again, it could be a big coincidence........
