Glad I could share. This is why its always good to watch shows and/or investigate extended family lines. You never know what will crawl out from the woodwork. I love the new show "Who do you think you are". One never knows where a family connection will be found. I happened upon this information and Chinn connection while looking into WHY one of my ancestors would have gone to New Orleans as mentioned by his mother in a letter to him. I then found the Chinn's in New Orleans that had come from Kentucky where his brothers were from..... (Wilson/Chinn/Blue) lines which of course leads back to the Northern Neck and our wonderful family of Rawleigh Chinn - Easter and Margaret and only goes to prove, if you look under every stone...... you'll find a connection. Henry Clay was a mere mention in the information I found about Richard Henry Chinn. The name just stuck with me and then BINGO....... Roadshow! This is why genealogy is so fun. You never know where or how you'll find a missing piece. Always keep and opened mind and look beyond all the trees in the forest. LOL Janean

Hi Janean,   I love the program, "Who Do You Think You Are."   Unfortunately, it's on Friday night, and I often miss the episodes (and I'm terrible about setting my DVR to record -- LOL)!    I noticed the last episode was on Gwyneth Paltrow, and it looked fascinating (I missed the first half of the program).  I think there was one on Tim McGraw, which I missed too, but sounds like it may have discussed some Northern Neck roots for him.   Did anyone catch it?   Speaking of good genealogy/history programs, there's apparently one coming up on the Smithsonian Channel on the Scots-Irish.   Someone sent me a reminder of this program, which I'm pasting below.   Thanks.   David   Just FYI for all of you interested in the history of the Scots-Irish in Ireland and America you might want to watch a new miniseries called "Born Fighting".  On April 10 there is a two part special on the Smithsonian channel (on U-verse, channel 118).  The first part airs at 8pm followed directly by Part II at 9pm.  They show several time over the next week.  There maybe other ways to see this series--I don't know. If someone finds a way to see it other than on this channel, please let us know.  Here are the descriptions:   Part I A group of Scots broke with the Roman Catholic Church and the Church of England and fought for their own unique interpretation of Protestantism which came to America with them and evolved into the fundamentalism that rules the Deep South.   Part II The Scots-Irish came to America from Northern Ireland and carried their strict moral values, their sense of honor, and their willingness to fight valiantly  under all circumstances to the New World, thus profoundly influencing the history of the U.S.
