The Britton family I descend from is Charlie Nathan and Lillie Britton----They were my paternal great-grandparents-----Grandma Lillie was a Teaster----and My paternal grandfather (John Lawrence Sumner, Jr.) had a sister named Ethel who married grandma Lillie's brother, if my memory serves me correctly-----so that is how the Teaster line ties in with the Sumners and the Brittons.....My mother's people were the Hortons, from round this same general area, also.....My maternal grandparents were Archie Horton and Ima Lee Horton----Grandmother Horton was a Barham before she married-----I know there are some Godwins and Hoggards in there also----My great-grandmother Horton was a Hoggard before she married, and my great-grandmother Barham (Susie), was a Godwin-----I can't remember much past that, tho my mother can----I know one of my Horton Great-Grandfathers was at Gettysburg, and was sent home with a mule and a parcel of land waiting for him in NC after his fighting duty----and also it seems a couple of greats on the Sumner-Britton-Teaster side were at Appomatox when the War ended.....Both sides of the family had some great influence in the communities of Union and St John in the days gone by, in things such as the starting of Union Baptist Church, and St John Baptist Church....

Hi,

You have no idea how surprised I was to find your site as I was researching my grandmother, Lula Pruden Hoggard. I had no success so decided to type in Uncle Archie to see if I could find info on him that might lead to Grandmom.

I haven't seen any of them in years. I think of Uncle Archie each time I go in my back yard during the summer because I have a grape vine. He had a big vine in his front yard in Murfreesboro. I would sit under it and read when we would visit them. I remember that and the bird that Aunt Ima Lee had that she covered with a blanket at night. I remember Cliff singing Old Man River. Also remember Aunt Ima Lee being an excellent cook.

My father was the baby boy of Joe and Lula. His name was Pat. He passed away about four years ago. If I remember correctly, Uncle Archie was the oldest boy. We visited them a few times after they moved to Richmond, but I didn't see them much after that because I was pretty much grown by that time. I did see Carol Lee and Cliff a few times. I haven't seen Ellen in many, many years. I remember listening to her play the piano when we would visit them in NC.

I wonder about all of them at times. I am sure many have passed away by now. I know Uncle Archie died many years ago but got to be very old. I would love to know where they all are, even if they are no longer with us.

That huge family is down now to Aunt Nancy and Aunt Lucille. Aunt Lucille turned 93 in July. I saw both of them right before her birthday. They are amazing. Both are still very sharp and could answer questions you might have. I am going to talk with them soon about Grandmom since I was unable to find out when and where she was born and when she and Granddad got married.

I am so pleased to have found you. Please let me know what is going on with your family. I miss them!
