day 12: showers - this picture was taken of me looking out at what used to be the town of Loyston, Tennessee. The town was flooded as part of TVA’s Norris Dam project in the 1936. . I stumbled upon this outlook accidentally. My mom and I were on one of our infamous genealogy road trips. We had been visiting cemeteries in the area (and in the rain) when we saw a sign for Loyston campground. Of course we were curious and followed the signs. What we found was a campground in the process of being built. We were the only people there so we took advantage and walked out a bit on the boat ramp. It was a nice way to “see” where out ancestors had lived. Somewhere, under all that water, was a town where they had lived their lives. It was like the whole day was meant to be, as now the campground is super popular and it’s hard to find a moment to yourself. #genealogyphotoaday #gpad_feature #genealogy #showers #loyston #tennessee

day eleven: oldest - this is probably the oldest picture I have. This is my 5x Great Grandfather, Richard Price. . Richard was born in 1794 in Duplin, North Carolina to Richard and Flora Kinging Price. He married Lydia Messer on February 11, 1825. Together they had 5 children; James Turner, Solomon, Sarah, Joseph M, and William. Richard lived until the ripe old age of 111. He passed away in 1905 in Cocke County, Tennessee. . Family folklore says that Richard was know as “Big Dick” as he was 7 feet tall. It’s also said that in his prime he weighed nearly 300 pounds with very little body fat. Sounds to me he would’ve made a great football player! #genealogyphotoaday #gpad_feature #genealogy #oldest #price
