Thanks to Janet and Jerry for their very enlighting comments on migration patterns to Nashville area. When we share what we have learned with others it opens avenues of understanding that can help so many others in their family research. Some of the family surnames that Iam working on are;WOOLDRIDGE, STEPHENS, SENTER, HOWARD, MEACHAM, PLEASANT, MOSS, MULLINAX, DAVIDSON, LOKEY/ LOCKEY, LASTER, HOUSTON, GILLESPIE, BLACK and McCARTY. Would like to make connection with anyone working on the above and will gladly share what I have collected. Thanks again. Jean Pasmore jpasmore@bscn.com >______________________________
