My Father was drafted in the war and a weapons specialist, Airborne, as well as a Sharpshooter to which he taught my sister and I very well along with mechanics and even Archery. We had a Indian Bow and Arrow set that was past down in his family as well as a Revolutionary War gun I'm sure his brother got when he died. His sister has the civil war gun now that was supposed to be my sister's and mine. However when he passed away they took everything and abandoned us in Nashville, Tn. There is much more but this is the truth of the matter and when you find he had family on both sides and everyone abandoned his children, this is important to know what happened to him as he had no Will made. He had a lot of money as well as our credit union savings accounts that someone got as well as the rest of his gun collection and motorcycles. Oh and the proceeds from the sale of his home in Nashville TN. At the time I believe our childhood home sold in the 1980's for 36k.
I tell you all this so to make sure if you make a will. Make sure you have a place to rest so someone knows where you want to be and noone miss uses the very funds that was supposed to care for expenses for his funeral and the well-being of his Wife and Children.
When I was 2 my dad went to work for a company who built the wings to the space shuttle,First Flight.[1] At the time as a child I had the model of it and the Chargers. Looked like the toy plane models that flew. I wished I still had them. I have one of the coins. It's on dad's profile. The whole sky was lit up and it looked as if it were going back in the ocean the way it turned. You can go see the video and check it out.[2]we moved to Tennessee. Him and my mother were from Kentucky. Both my mother and fathers surnames are JONES. However, they are not related so far on the Jones side. Ironically. They are still 6th cousins though through Margaret Franklin who descended from King Edward II

There is much intermarrying and there a book on the first 600 Royal Immigrants to America that is very interesting and taught me much history of my family. I've learned a great deal. I began my interest in genealogy very young. I loved sitting in the library reading old books. I love real history and have a natural ear for music. I played piano since I was a child in my mother's lap and I woke my family up sleep walking playing in the middle of the night. In between that and a violin ,played in orchestra as a child sang the solos up front and was interested in always learning. My dad had a mortycycle accident and with complications and he passed away in 1986. When I found dad , the state came in took my mother away and her family took her to Kentucky ( she wasn't mentally well and under the circumstances who would be . My blessed Mother she had a few nervous breakdowns).They took all her money my dad left her ,even the money out of our savings,sold the house ,kept that money as well and ditched me and my sister. She went in to foster care and I ran. I was 14. I found someone to take custody of me when I was 16. Their names were Patricia Rapheld and Barney. They were the greatest people. Only problem is I dated their son. Who kinda got around so, we broke up. At 17 I rented my first apartment . I had my first child at 19. I ended up having four. I tried to go back to school and the year I was enrolled in Volstate, I was diagnosed with cancer .(I recently found where my grandmother died ,(Smitten with Apoplexie). my 10th Grandmother Alice Craft. Apoplexie can be caused by bleeding into the pituitary or by blocked blood flow to the pituitary. Apoplexy means bleeding into an organ or loss of blood flow to an organ. Pituitary apoplexy is commonly caused by bleeding inside a noncancerous (benign) tumor of the pituitary. I do wonder now if this was heriditary with other females in my family having Fibroids?!! I had four surgeries to remove it all and survived. I thank God i was here to raise my children. I had little or no help from their donors.. Later on in life I became paralyzed(total freak accident). I had a fall and when I woke up I couldn't feel anything from my hips down (T12was ruptured and pitching my spinal chord. A doctor offered to go in through my lungs to cut the tissue away and I said UH NO!!! I BEGAN TO RESEARCH FOR MYSELF. I started hot and cold treatments on my legs hours of deep tissue massage I use a tens unit shocked my perineal and radial nerves on the highest shock. I began B-12 complex ( its the only source of a good source of thiamine I could find (heals the nerve sheaths) ,its illegal in the United States:/ I would go to my doctors refuse the pain medicine ask for zpacs steroid shots and b-12 boosters and I kept this up for over a year. I began to feel my left leg first and started doing kinda like yoga but really just balancing on each foot and stretches. I finally took my right leg, put it in my mountain bike tied it to the peddle and started to ride one hour a day with the tens unit shocking my nerves on high. I had what they called drop foot so I started wearing a shoe with a heel. It gave it the natural slap down heel toe movement and it was working. I went to the lake and was on an inclined hill and I looked up it and took off running and it was then I felt my foot again. My right one. Maybe this story will help inspire others or if anything information on our families health or hereditary diseases. This treatment took around a year so Never Give Up🤗 I am now trying to find my roots and just find out who I really am. Even after knowing my blood and accurate records proven lineage, I'm not sure we will ever truelly know who we are. I wanted to prove the Indian heritage I've been told of all my life which I'm finding out is a bit more diverse than I ever knew !!! Indian Heritage is much more difficult to prove although I have Native American DNA , it means nothing if I have no records. I started out searching in grave yards by barns and fields where they plant corn today (like at the Kinslow cemetery). Preservation of Graveyards are very important so I must get out there to get their stones out of the barn soon:/ Some people have no respect for the deceased. This is happening more common in the areas as well as any local lake or manmade reservoir has an old graveyards or city buried underneath. I've already called a construction company about building on top Diadame Tinsley And they actually ashured me, their graves are safe. As of 2023 the graves were still intact as the new owners of the lake home told me I brought up quite a stir and the locals weren't happy they weren't notified about this graveyard on the middle of their lovely lake homes. I obviously made people aware of graveyards in the area.It was just the two of them there,. I very seriously doubt that but I couldn't find them and there's a lot of new development by these lakes which I might ad the Jewell cemetery is at my Grandfathers old farm ,they survived the cholera. In the will it states he sold the land to the corp of engineers and they sunk the Indian burial ground . I went there and realized these are the little islands sticking out the water and it wasn't just here places in Georgia as well as Nickajack cave.[3]has people buried in there and their under these lakes. I do not want to ever get back in one and I always felt like there was dead bodies underneath me the whole time. So creepy that I'm finding out just how true this is and how very sad it makes me.[4] I am greatful for having access to this wonderful service so that I'm not having to search them out by old barns. Although footwork is important too. I've had a lot of help with FAG (find a grave). Although just like any service we all make errors. I now know I had many more Grandparents that may have wanted to know me and I have other family out there who might be worth talking to.Ive met very brilliant cousins here and I'm so proud of them. I knew my potential as a child and unfortunately childhood trauma and living my life off of trauma and emotions my stability was not in a proper place to become my full potential. If I could say something to myself now is don't live life off of being emotionally unstable. I would also tell myself to research phycology more and I wouldn't have been a subject of abuse by no one. I don't like to argue I carry a very peaceful life now ,never did anything with music. Such a regret. My sister is the seamstress for all the country stars. She is not listed on here due she is still alive and privacy. Maybe one day she can join and ad herself. She was more emotionally stable, it took me a little longer. I'd laugh however this is not amusing to me. I meet some of them that she worked for and they were very nice people however they are very overworked underpaid and depressed or oppressed just like every normal day Joe. I did garden ,sucked really,got ate up with chiggers on my whole chest. I never want to do that again . I live right in the middle of farms that are still in the same families since the Revolutionary War. These fields tell many secrets and are spooky as well as I've found quite a few buried out in people's yards here too. One guy was left here during Cholera outbreak he's buried in my neighbors yard. Country living is peaceful though and people in this world are too emotionally charged for me to deal with them and me too. ,just finished building a house. Everything's paid for and I did it all the hard way burning one board at a time. Like what the heck !! My home is built and runs on solar and has a well. Completely self sufficient. I haven't paid an electric bill in three years. Today is 2024
Hopefully what I do here with our family tree will be seen by someone else 300 years from now and if this is you just remember to keep accurate sources. Also I would like to ad as I was looking at all my grandparents old outfits not up with the times and wondered how freaked out they would be to see us.
I hope y'all will all keep the faith. Our fathers lie in tombs who defended it long long ago. The world has changed and tolerates much debauchery. Be of good cheer and Good luck. When researching my family tree, no one could get passed my second grandmother.
To my Mentor's and Dear Cousins: Thanks again for all of your help and collaboration.

If this was true or not, maybe it was to strike fear into other men, noone will ever know.
I decided to dedicate a category to Grandparents I've ran into that were my grandparents more than once. In this case it's on both sides. Meet my 16th Grandmother on my Father's side and my 21st Grandmother on my Mother's side. Double Grandma.

Disputed Origins & Relations Parents. That Silent Bryant was son of Richard Bryant and Keziah Arroyah is claimed by Patawomack historian William "Bill" Deyo. Volunteers with WikiTree's Native American project can find no evidence that either Richard Bryant or Keziah existed. Using Deyo's own figures, at the time of Silent's estimated birth, Keziah would have been either very young or had not be born herself, if she even existed.

After this On 3 September 1650 the Scots army under General David Leslie was defeated by English forces under Lord-General Oliver Cromwell at the Battle of Dunbar during the 3rd English Civil War. The battle took place on the southeast Scottish coast. James Donaldson/Danielson, Sr. was taken prisoner along with 5,000 other Scots. During the 8-day forced march southward 2,000 prisoners died. 1,500 additional Scots prisoners perished during many weeks of imprisonment in Durham Cathedral under appalling conditions. James Danielson and the other surviving prisoners were taken by ship to London and from there were sold off as forced labor for the colonies. On 3 November 1650 he was sent with 150 other indentured Scots prisoners on the ship 'Unity' to the colonies to serve for seven years of forced labor. David Dobson of King's College, University of Aberdeen listed James as one of the Scots prisoners in his 1998 book 'The Original Scots Colonists of Early America: "DONALDSON ("Danielson") James, b 1633, a prisoner of war captured after the battle of Dunbar 1650, transported from London to Boston, New England, Unity of Boston." This is another reason for my Grandparents to have forcibly migrated to America.

I have found that old wills have a lot of info and bibles,sometimes telling stories of a Mr.Ellis who had little babies with the slaves and sold his own son for profit. The misses wrote it down in the bible. Very sad indeed. I am proud of most my ancestors and I'm proud of their accomplishments and I am absolutely horrified at some of their actions. since I've been studying my blood line. There are a few Uncles I cried when I seen their faces, I know that's messed up of me however it's the truth. Some of them just look like Animals. Mongols. I'll never forget crying when seeing an uncle's face however I realize now we are all just skeletons with skin. Most of us even look alike no matter color. So not even myself is attractive in that retrospect. I am upset with all their fighting. I do wish some of them just could have talked it out. As of 2024 it's still the answer War in Israel and Ukraine. They are destroying ancient sites in Kiev where my Grandmother is a Saint. They are destroying Churches in the middle East that have been there since 4th century. Immature children with guns and low level morality that's what's wrong with society a bunch of kids have power no elders. This year is 2024 and people get away with stuff you would have been hung for. They boast about sin as if they won't have to meet God on their own two feet alone.They kill and wipe out their own children and society in these wars and most leaders are narcissists so you would think self preservation comes in somewhere to preserve themselves and their offspring.Just my thought. My grandfather died in the civil war , He was a baby . He will forever be a young man because of low-level morality. Very Sad. I'm lucky to be here he barely just had my grandmother. He was shot in the heart at the battle of Stones River in Murfreesboro,Tn.[13] He was in the Union. His name is Hagan Bishop. Didn't help his wife out none ,,,!!! I started Wikiteee during the covid outbreak and my name KAREN became a joke.[14]during a covid outbreak. Problem is I am not all white ,I'm literally part everything of every culture and I definitely am not entitled. Im glad im not starting first grade again. There's another word I learned it was defamation of character. The public humiliation with my name. Published. Falsely Not just name calling. To the point where I'm affected even working or talking to people on the phone. I'm thinking to change my name and sueing all of the people who published falsely in my name. Mentally it's tough to deal with such immattthimgs and when I revert to think like people with low level morality now it makes my brain hurt. As of 2024 this is what goes on in our World Hope the future is more mature. I doubt it. The curriculum needs to be changed in school where the kids know their History. There woulf be no prejudice and God definitely brought back in schools. As of 2024 God was removed from schools and is still removed. I use to have a minute of silence and say the anthem and even pray. Now anything goes. I know My History would have reflected my life differently even with the difficulties I faced. I will never tell everything of my child hood or other trauma . Even this wouldn't have held me back , if I had known my Family.

I met Jesse's James Great Grandson fishing on the banks of a lake in Portland Tn. I couldn't catch a thang and this little dude was pulling fish out by the dozen so I asked him what was the trick? He had a homemade fishing lure out of deer hair and bone,very small lurer. It was very effective. One day he pulled out a picture of his Great Grandfather Jesse and I didn't know then how valuable that picture was. Just being tossed around. It was him and it was real. This dude was wild,liked messing with the little girls round town. Just wild I quit knowing him when I was worried of him touching my lil girls too.

These are the Grandparents that would end up at Pocahontas As my Aunt which I think she is a trator to her own people, greedy and thought of her own feelings and not of preservation of her people. I also think she was murdered when she went to England and I do NOT think she was pretty. Look at her photo, over the years dramatized how pretty I say heck no. My Queen Elinor would blow her outta the water any day. My Queen Grandmother's were very Pretty. Because of Conflicting documentation over the years and lack of solid documents this can not be proven . Thank God. I don't want to be her Grand daughter. although I have Native American DNA. I'm more proud of the African DNA. The Queen of Ndongo Africa she made a poorostake dealing with outsiders and cost her people's freedom. My people. These people my ancestors the so called slaves I call it kid napping punishable by Law however I guess they didn't have those laws then. These people were strong fighters. They are now very successful in America and I'm proud to be their kin. They don't own one casino. 2024
