[QUOTE="upfrombottom, post: 766068, member: 13088"] Well actually since you mentioned it, my great grandfather immigrated here from Ireland and married a Cherokee from Georgia on his way to Pontotoc MS, where he raised a family of 24 kids (19 boys). He was a mule breeder and raised and trained mules for farming. I have a few pictures of him and some of his family that have been handed down to me. I never met the man or my grandfather as both were dead before I was born and only have stories from my dad. The youngest kids of the family never knew the oldest, from what I was told, because they were already grown and gone before the young ones were old enough to remember their siblings. My grandfather, being one of the youngest, moved to Arkansas with four of his brothers, married my grandmother whom was half Indian from Alabama, and started a family of his own that had 8 kids. He died when my father was 13 and my father, being the oldest boy, raised the rest of the family. Edited to add this: I asked my uncle once how we ended up in Arkansas and his answer was: " All I can figure is they were running from the law." [/QUOTE]
