I have been doing family history research over 40 years. My information comes from many different sources-some better than others. I don't claim everything here is perfect or complete and I welcome corrections and additions. Contact me via email or U.S. mail for any sources of information or corrections. My direct lines are from many areas of the U.S.A. and other countries as well:
Roles/Beckner/Milburn/Taylor/Hansbrough lines-WV and VA
Cox/Price/Cleveland/Eaton/Tillet lines-IL, IN, KY and VA
Harris line-AL and AR (this is my mystery line-anyone who can find proof of my great grandma Susan's parents gets dinner on me!)
Smith & Browning-UT and Scotland
McMurrin & Irvine-UT, Scotland and Ireland
Gray & Jackson-UT and England
Reed & Pettit-UT and several New England states

Let me know if you find a connection-I love finding new cousins and I am happy to exchange info.
