Publisher's Synopsis
This story is about Jess who descended from a long line of ancestors who lived in Europe, Virginia, Kentucky, and Missouri. While there is a lot of speculation about his ancestors, there is also a good deal of disagreement. That is also true in the broader sense. Anyone with an interest in their family's genealogy needs to realize that a single case of infidelity or name change some place along the line can upset the apple cart. This gave Jess's son Jeb, the author of this small tome, the motivation to examine his family's ancestry more closely. He has traveled to the United Kingdom and has done research there as well as sources online. Any genealogy is suspect and has to be examined in the context of time and space. If a suspected ancestor lived at a given time and in a given place based on court and/or parish records one can be fairly certain of the likelihood of a relationship. That isn't to say that it is confirmed nor that the relationship is positive. One can only assume that there may be a relationship.
