Southern reality versus Yankee myth. Nice to see you moved to Tennessee, most of my ancestors family from East Tennessee in the Knoxville area, Monroe and McMinn counties. Prior in Virginia, but that is way way back. Photobucket One of the ancestors living quarters built in 1823. 3rd (Vaughn's) Tennessee Infantry Regiment.

Well, my immediate family plus two older aunts who moved to be close by are all that’s here.

The other 100 plus in my clan are still down there with you which will always be home for me....Prep-Ole Miss...long ago.

My great X4 grandpa was Pappy Tom Sullivan of Smith County ..me and another 1500 folks today..lol

I live now in Williamson county on the old Dawes Plantation remains just a hair from the old Harrison House of Battle of Franklin fame....I can see Carnton too from the hilltop behind my home....and Winstead and Breezy hills are about 800 yards to my northwest ...if you know much about the battle

For the first time since I left Jackson for good 28 years ago I feel at home more or less. But I still go down there a lot...several times per year.
