Hello,
I was very impressed with your efforts in the recording of family information. I have been trying to find out more on my mother's family...Robert Nathaniel Owen and Ennis Ethel Coon were her parents. My husband also has a web site www.mountpilotgospelsingers.org and I know how difficult and time consuming it is to get everything write on the web. Through your web site, I was able to retrieve more information that I didn't have.
I did find a few errors that you might want to correct if you have the time...My dad Willie Elbert Gibbons (not Givens) married Earline Marie Owen Rawden Rippey (not Roden Rappey) married my Aunt Lucille Owen My Uncle Clyde Owen married Lula Belle Wright children: Randy, Judy Lynn, and you do not have their third child, Barry.
My Aunt Patricia Owen did not stay married to Pean Cain very long. She married Darryl L. Smith and had a child Stevie.
I spent several hours looking over your web site, and again want to commend you for such a job well done. I still can't find much about the Coon/ Saunders family. If you have any suggestions on how I might find more about these families who lived in the Shoals area of Surry county please let me know. I am a retired school teacher, and have spent so much time in the classroom teaching 4th and 6th grades that I do not know much about the research of family history.Thank you for sharing your findings with others.
