APPALACHIAN MOUNTAIN FAMILIES
I am
your host, Brenda Collins
Dillon. WELCOME
My family lines are deeply rooted in the mountains of West
Virginia and Kentucky. They are a mixture of White, Black,
Indian, and Melungeon. My search has gone from the State
of Washington, in the West, to Virginia and North
Carolina in the East. I married a man from Massachusetts,
so my children are descendants of the Sampson & Standish
& Alden lines off the Mayflower.
Bloodlines are important but there are also those lines
that are not related by blood but have raised us and left
inside us the morals , and characteristics that make us
who we are today. My mother was adopted when she was two
days old and raised by a wonderful loving couple that had
no other children. My stepfather was orphaned at six weeks
and tossed from one family member to another until he was
old enough or big enough to work. I was a child without
a daddy until my mother married and that gentle man raised
me as his own. Yes, these lines are not blood kin , but
just as important.
