Subject: Re: McGlothen Family
Judy, thanks for your nice "welcome". I would love to get togetherwith you and Lee and get to know you. And I would love to see yourpictures. I grew up knowing nothing about my dad's side of thefamily. My grandparents were divorced and my dad went to live withhis mother's (Willie Allen McGlothen) sister, Kate (Eliza KatherineMcGlothen) and her husband, Will (William Edward Alley). My dad'ssister, Nellie Bly McHaffie went to live with Willie's other sister,Mollie Elizabeth McGlothen and her husband, Jerome Butcher. They alldied fairly young, before I was old enough to be really interested ingenealogy, although I have always been interested, I just never didany researching because I didn't know where to begin. I am afraiaid Iwaited till there was nobody to ask about the family. I asked AuntNellie questions but not enough. We didn't make the long trip toKnoxville very often. I still have first cousins living there, butthey are older than I and some have passed away. And they don't seemto be interested in the family history. You are wise to get yourfamily to tell you all the old stories.
