And more than likely they liked Felix Grundy's politics. He was born in 1777 in VA and settled in KY where he studied law and entered politics. He moved to Nashville in 1807 and became one of the most successful criminal lawyers in the area. He later entered politics in TN, and although he wasn't personally associated with Andrew Jackson, his political philosophy was quite similar. He continued that support when Jackson was elected president and Grundy was in the U.S. Senate, and, like Jackson, was closely identified with issues important to the common man. So, thanks to naming their son Felix Grundy, you now know that your ancestors were Jackson Democrats. Joyce
