Jeanne, I was born not too far from Manchester, out in the woods at Blanton Creek. Then we moved to the big city of Bagwell when I was about 5 years old. <grin> Highway 82 went through there in those days and I thought I was really going to town when we'd catch the Trailways bus for a bit of shopping in Clarksville and then a movie at the Avalon before catching the late bus back home.

My RR Roots are from the small town of Manchester. I don't often hear anyone tell tales about it, but that's to be expected...it's really tiny. I'm glad to have you aboard. Sometimes I think we wear out Jim & Sharon & John...LOL Jeanne Casey Lakewood, CA Researching in RR County: ADAMS, COKER, KING, CAUSBY. CAUDLE & allied families
