James Garrett, My name is Stan Arney from Wichita, KS and I'm researching my branch of the Arney's. My Grandmother is Bertha Claudine Melton Arney. Her father was a Melton and her mother was a Garrett. I have been very lax in my research on my grandmother's side of her family. Thinking, since I'm an Arney, that is the only side of my family that matters. After all, if I follow all the women it will be too overwhelming. However, I keep seeing the Garrett's in Overton County posts and know that my grandmother's side stayed in or near Overton County, just like most of my Arney's. My particular branch of the Arney's arrived in Tennessee around 1799. Peter Arney, who was born in 1772 in Tryon County, NC, moved his family to in or around Overton County, TN. To this day, many of my cousins still reside in Tennessee including my grandmother, Bertha Claudine Melton Arney (who was married to the now deceased Stanley Goble Arney). My sister has however been doing extensive research on the Melton's and Garrett's in Tennessee. We are currently "estranged" so she has not shared the information she has on the Garrett's with me, at this time. To make a long story short (ha ha), are you part of that Garrett line? Thanks for listening, I deeply appreciate your time, consideration, and cooperation in this matter. Sincerely, Stan Arney Wichita, KS "Genealogy isn't digging up dead people, it is researching the people who made you who you are today!" Stanley Arney Wichita, KS Researching my Arney heritage, looking for definitive tangible proof of each of their existence, so we KNOW the truth and can share it with others. Building a website that will make it easier for those who come after me to find their Arney lineage at www.arneygenealogy.com --------------------------------- Be a better pen pal.

Hi James, I am also related to the Garretts in Overton Co. I have lived here most of my life. I work with the elderly and I will be seeing one today that was a Garrett and knows quite a bit about them. I will ask her today if she knows your grandmother's family. She has a book about the Garretts maybe we can find some information from that. Can you tell me more about them so I know what to look for.

Cleston I don't believe I have a document to prove that I will check on it and see for you. Her sister that was married to the Dennis and buried in the Old Bethel has a death record she died in I believe 1932 and if she has an obituary it might list the other sisters or brothers have you checked that let me know.
