This
is an account of the history of my family, the McGowan/Coleman family
and the Carter, Biggart(Tobin), Culp, McKinney, Utley, Davidson and
Turner families from which we are descended. It's not a genealogy, but
rather an account so family members can know where we came from.
Included in my family tree are a reknown 18th Century Baptist preacher,
a woman who was scalped by Cherokee and lived to tell about it, early
Tennesseee settlers, several Civil War soldiers, a night-rider, farmers
and preachers.
