註釋Discover the true legacy of the Rue, Grissett, Stamps, and other families in Long Creek and Georgiana, Alabama emphasized in Joan's paper walls of time. You will find the tracing of ancestors through six generations of slaves, free-men, farmers, master builders, blacksmiths, seamstresses, mason/bricklayers, maids, cooks, teachers, mid-wives, merchants, pulp-wood loggers, store owners, moonshiners, and juke joint owners. The story begins with migration to the United States that documents generations since gone until current. You will discover how families are interrelated and their relations to the Adams, Anderson, Ballard, Blackmon, Binion, Carter, Coleman, Cowan, Crosby, Golson, Hall, Harkness, Hawthorne, Kent, Maye, McCall, McKee, Milner, Richardson, Ross, Stallworth, Still, Thomas, and Tillman/Tillmon families. If you are kin to any of the families recognized and you are an ancestor sleuth, this book is for you! The off springs of all ancestors will surely be amazed and unquestionably you will appreciate the timeless photos and the uncovering of lost history in time.Significantly, this book contains gripping affirmation, that not only inspired a generation of black activists - freedom rebels, but drove home the bitter realities of racism, through confirmed underground railroad experiences, and true family connections. As the youngest writer in our family, I wanted to accurately trace our family roots in a pristine and meticulous manner. I wanted to recapture our family history in its glorious state. We had a rich cultural heritage that slavery took away from our ancestors, along with their names and their identities.This book is certainly an incredibly comprehensive book, with eight hundred pages highlighting the ancestors of Georgiana, Long Creek, Spring Hill, Garland, Owassa, Evergreen, and surrounding communities in the area.
