In and Around Franklin, NC

We often go to the Ray Family Researchers held annually in October, just outside Franklin, NC, in the Iolta Community.  Here, over  150 years ago several of my ancestral lines roamed, farmed, fished, bought and sold land, arrested people, got arrested, and wheeled and dealt.  A lot of my distant cousins are still on these lands.
