Ours is truly a diverse family.  If America is the "melting pot" we are a great example.  My father's family is of Scots-Irish ancestry, migrating to America prior to the Revolutionary War. Finally settling in North Carolina.  There they married with descendants of Pennsylvania Dutch (Germans from the Palatine Region) and Native Americans (probably Cherokee).  My mother's family comes from England and Ireland, emigrating to America (Virginia) prior to the Revolutionary War, and then migrating to Tennessee and eventually Arkansas.  My Parish line is also rumored to have some Cherokee blood in it.  My great grandmother Rebecca Parish was thought to be one quarter Cherokee.  My wife's family is from England, even including some links to English royalty.  Emigrating to Virginia prior to the Revolutionary War, then on to Tennessee and finally Arkansas, after the Civil War.  My children have married persons of African-American, Hispanic, and Vietnamese ancestry.  As you can see our family is truly diverse.<\/p>\n

\"martin3.gif My Martin ancestors descended from Scots-Irish<\/a> stock.   They migrated from Scotland in the early 1700's, remaining there for a couple of generations, then coming to America from Ulster, Northern Ireland.  They arrived prior to 1750.  Originally settling in Pennsylvania, then migrating to North Carolina.<\/p>\n

\"haile.gif Janet's Haile ancestors descended from English stock.  There is even linkage to British Royalty.<\/a>  They emigrated to the tidewater area of Virginia.  Later generations migrated to Tennessee and finally Arkansas. <\/p>\n

\"jackson.gif The Jackson's came from England to Virginia.  They then moved into eastern Tennessee, then Arkansas and were there prior to the Civil War.<\/p>\n

\"parish.gif The Parish<\/a> name is of English or Irish descend.   Although originally Celts from France (Paris) most spread to England and Ireland after being defeated by the Romans.  My Parishs probably came the route of most southern English, Virginia to Tennessee, then to Arkansas after the Civil War.<\/p>\n

\"kever.gif The Kever name is of German origin.  These ancestors came from Germany during the Palatine Migration. Settling first in western Pennsylvania, then migrating to North Carolina.  They followed roughly the same route as the Scots-Irish Martins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
