My mom is Edith (Presnell) Jones, daughter of Sam and Florence Presnell.There were 15 children (my aunts and uncles) in this family including Faye who is deaf. Of the 15 children, 5 are still alive.
Sam had a small farm south of Bristol, near Blountville. In the 50's, my dad built them a house in Paperville, east of Bristol up the "holler" from my paternal grandparents.Sam died in the late 70's in his 90's.Florence died in 1966 while visiting us in CT one week after her first son Dexter died(while sleeping in my bed!).
I have some family history that my sister (Faye) dug up and put together along with some family pictures.We have one picture we took in 1964 of nearly the whole family of Sam and Florence with grandchildren.Alot of people.
