Hello, my name is Nettye and I live in Washington state, a long way from the rolling hills of Dickson County. I was born in north Alabama, but spent much of my summers and holidays in Dickson with the Browns and the Smiths. My father was born in the house on the corner of Main Street and Walnut Stree in Dickson, across from the Memorial Building. It was purchased by the city a few years ago when no one was in the position to move there and keep it in the family. In addition to Browns and Smiths, I'm searching Laws, Gilbert, Clardy, White, Stuart, Bibb, and James. I've connected with several cousins on this great list and made a lot of progress with the help of many kind people. Thanks to all. Nettye Knoop
