Book excerpt: "We are pleased to present to you a collection of Allen family genealogy. We have included primarily the families of William Allen and Caty Gearheart, Richard Allen and Edy Williams, George Allen and Cynthia Patton, James Allen and Nancy Louise Roberts, Samuel Patton Sr. and Elizabeth Allen, Isaac E. Allen and 1st wife Frances E. Pettit and 2nd wife Margaret Poplett ... Settlement of the Big Sandy, Licking and Kentucky River valleys was happening by 1800. By tracing the Allen generation on back before this date, we find that they lived in Virginia or North Carolina. By 1800 many of them began their westward movement into eastern Kentucky ... again we are reminded of the different 'sets' of Allens, such as the Floyd County set, the Breathitt County set, or the Morgan County- White Oak set; however it is believed but not fully proven that all the so-called 'sets' are really just branches of one family tree with a progenitor yet unproven"--Foreword, p.

Download or read book A Parchment of Leaves written by Silas House and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2002-08-16 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Silas House made his debut with Clay's Quilt last year, it touched a nerve not just in his home state (where it quickly became a bestseller), but all across the country. Glowing reviews-from USA Today (House is letter-perfect with his first novel), to the Philadelphia Inquirer (Compelling. . . . House knows what's important and reminds us of the value of family and home, love and loyalty), to the Mobile Register (Poetic, haunting), and everywhere in between-established him as a writer to watch. His second novel won't disappoint. Set in 1917, A PARCHMENT OF LEAVES tells the story of Vine, a beautiful Cherokee woman who marries a white man, forsaking her family and their homeland to settle in with his people and make a home in the heart of the mountains. Her mother has strange forebodings that all will not go well, and she's right. Vine is viewed as an outsider, treated with contempt by other townspeople. Add to that her brother-in-law's fixation on her, and Vine's life becomes more complicated than she could have ever imagined. In the violent turn of events that ensues, she learns what it means to forgive others and, most important, how to forgive herself. As haunting as an old-time ballad, A PARCHMENT OF LEAVES is filled with the imagery, dialect, music, and thrumming life of the Kentucky mountains. For Silas House, whose great-grandmother was Cherokee, this novel is also a tribute to the family whose spirit formed him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "By closely studying the strategic blend of land ownership, subsistence agriculture, and commerce, Weise reveals how white male farmers in Floyd County attempted to achieve and preserve patriarchal authority and independence - and how this household localism laid the foundation for the region's development during the industrial era. By shifting attention from the actions of industrialists to those of local residents, he reconciles contradictory views of antebellum Appalachia and offers a new understanding of the region's history and its people."--Jacket.
Download or read book Clay s Quilt written by Silas House and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2001-04-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a bone-chilling New Year's Day, when all the mountain roads are slick with ice, Clay's mother, Anneth, insists on leaving her husband. She packs her things, and with three-year-old Clay in tow, they inch their way toward her hometown along the treacherous mountain roads. That journey ends in the death of Clay's mother. It's a day that comes to haunt her only son, who's left without a family and a history. This is the story of how Clay Sizemore, a coal miner in love with his town but unsure of his place within it, finds a family to call his own. And it's the story of the people who become part of the life he shapes: Aunt Easter, always filled with a sense of foreboding and bound to her faith above all; Uncle Paul, quietly producing quilt after quilt; Dreama, beautiful and flighty; Evangeline, the untameable daughter of a famous gospel singer; and Alma, the fiddler whose song wends its way into Clay's heart. Together, they all help Clay to fashion a quilt of a life from what treasured pieces are around him. Authentic and moving, Clay's Quilt is both the story of a young man's journey and of Appalachian people struggling to hold on to their heritage.
Download or read book The Journey of a Shepherd s Wife written by Virginia Cooper Stokes and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2010-07 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is it like to live in the shadow of the steeple? Author Virginia Cooper Stokes knows because she's been the wife of a minister for over three decades. Through heartwarming personal testimony, she opens up about the churches in which her husband has served and the devastating reality of moving on when God called them to a new church. It's hard to raise children under the watchful eyes of an entire congregation. It's difficult to minister to your enemies in the face of harsh criticism. But on The Journey of a Shepherd's Wife, Virginia is able to find her place in the church and a way to use her talents for God—the only one we should desire to please. Ministers' wives and churchgoing women alike will find an ally in this shepherd's wife who knows what it is like to feel tremendous hurt as well as great joy and love in the ministry. The Journey of a Shepherd's Wife gives us a very honest look at Virginia's role as the wife of a pastor, mother, and woman in the church. It is my prayer that churchgoers everywhere will see the gift we have in those God has placed as role models in our lives. —Jeanette Heinicke, church member, missionary, Tompkinsville, KY
