Family Heritage (Carr, Dragoo, Henson, Collins)

Patriots, preachers, distillers, bootleggers, and writers, the Carr ancestors and their descendants have fascinating stories and have always been eager to tell them.  Thankfully, we have a treasure trove of Carr stories to share. Surnames in this section are: Carr, Hussong, Ewing, Parker, Nelson, Schaffer, Faulconer, Craig
Indian Billy's Cabin and Spring House from 1839-1856
DRAGOO
Pierre Dragaud II and Elizabeth Tavaud married in Bristol England  on November 12, 1699 and came to America shortly after.

Surnames in this section are: Dragoo, Dragaud, Wright, Hill, Bright, Hildebrand, Bittick, Stanfield, Guion, Tavaud, Vigneau
Frank Henson and Sons
HENSON
First settling in America in the 1700s, the Hensons are a clannish bunch. The stories of their migration from the Appalachias to California are both heartbreaking and inspiring. They have given future generations an example of authentic family spirit. Surnames in this section are: Henson Henderson, Samples, Steed, Baker, Darnell, Friend, Long

COLLINS
The Melungeons are deeply Appalachian souls. Removed from many of the cultural norms, and fiercely private, it is both challenging and rewarding to discover their lives and preserve their stories. Surnames in this section are: Collins, Bunch, Howard, Pugh, Campbell, Borden, Hawkins, Anderson, Dabney
