Thanks for the message..thats good to hear..most of my family come from the Knoxville area and Sweet Water. My parents were born in Knoxville and most of my brothers.

When I was young no one really explained my ancestory nor did I take much importance. We moved to Cincinnati, where I was born, but spent my summers in Knoxville. I wish I had known my direct bloodline was a Confederate soldier. I trust and hope his grave is maintained for such an honorable man.

Thanks again for your message and God Bless.

Very respectfully,

Gary
