Hello to all, Recently started tracing my ancestors. My parents came from Giles cnty. On my mothers side, Jernigans, they were from the Goodsprings, and early memories of them on Shannon Creek. My grandfathers first name was Maude. On my father side, very little information is known. And this is where I'm really concentrating on. Anyone out there that can provide any information on the Carpenter/Jernigan clan from Giles county, I would appreciate it very much. I am Charles W. Carpenter, son of Forrest Carpenter / Clara Jernigan. Thank you, Sincerely, Charlie Carpenter
