I would just like to swap "Howdies" and have y'all take a visit to God's country, in Eastern Tennessee. My name is Carolyn Whitaker and I'm better know to my kin as "Aunt Sissie".

The above view is taken on the French Broad River at the state line of Cocke Co. Tennessee & Madison Co. North Carolina. This is just a sample of the beauty that surrounds us everywhere.

I'm a Tennessean by blood.....my maternal and paternal great grandparents both born in Cocke County, Tennessee. Some of my Tennessee surnames include CLICK, GRAY, CAMPBELL, YOWELL, WHITAKER, BALCH, FAUBION, AYERS, RECTOR, FISHBACK, HUDSON, EDGEMON, WHITE, VAUGHN. Some were early settlers and others descendants from these families settled in Washington, Greene, Cocke & Monroe counties, Tennessee. Most migrating from Philadelphia through the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Others from the first and second GERMANNA settlements of 1714 & 1718 from Spotsylvania, Virginia. These families traveled the Great Philadelphia Wagon Road and Wilderness Roads to North Carolina and Tennessee, of which many of my families were of German origin or French Huguenots.

My ancestors settled on the first Western Frontier of America & they were among the first families of Tennessee. They were settlers during the time Tennessee was involved in being the "State of Franklin". If you don't know your history, visit any of East Tennessee counties & you'll quickly learn about it. They settled on the land of the Cherokee Indian hunting grounds.

After visiting for the past several years, I decided it was time to make the sojourn to where my roots began.

Follow the links below where you will find databases for my families & county links from whence they came.

I am preparing to publish a book named "OUR CLICK CLAN", so if you find your ancestors, please notify me so I can update my files.
