I'm new to this list, and probably should have subscribed long ago. The majority of my ancestors were in the Upper Cumberland Region of Tennessee. I will be happy to correspond and exchange information with anyone researching any of my surnames below. I'm listing the first known ancestor in Tennessee (and spouse) in each name (it's a long list).
