My children descend from a variety of cultures.

The BRIGHT family relocated from Pennsylvania to the booming riverfront town of Wyandotte, Kansas, shortly after the Civil War.

The MOORE family, of Scots-Irish descent, lived in the upcountry of South Carolina for a hundred years or more.

The THADEN family came from German immigrants and Tennessee Scots-Irish clans.

The NICHOLAS family originated in Tripoli and Beirut, Syria, and lived among a Syrian colony in Jacksonville, Florida.

The HAHN and LUTES families raced for land in the Oklahoma Land Run of 1893 and had been ever on the frontier prior to that time.

The ROMEO and MOTTA families immigrated to this country at the turn of the century from Sicily.

Picture of Mattie Love (Meigs) Thaden


I received this picture in the mail today from my cousin, Sherry. She writes, "Frances Thaden Risner gave me this picture on one of her trips to Albany [Ga]. She is the daughter of Mattie Meigs Thaden. Frances furnished much information on the Thaden and Deckner families."
