One of my favorite states.
Moved to TN nine years ago. Love it. Love the people.
I grew up in TN and have relatives and friends there that I visit regularly. I would love to live there, but my work brings me to Georgia. Perhaps when I retire in 10 or so years, if the earth is still inhabited, lolol.
And my Dad was born in Tennessee - Macon County, not far from the state line with KY.
My great x3 grandfather lived in Hanover County, VA, not too far from where I live, born in 1748 near Patrick Henry’s home, was at St. John’s Church when Henry spoke, he and his 4 brothers signed up to fight in Rev. War.
In 1802, the federal gov. offered a 2,000 acre land grant to all Rev. War vets in the western territories. My great x3 grandfather packed up the family, their 2 oxen, and headed west. One of the oxen died on Long Creek in what was then Sumpter County, now Macon County - and that’s where they stayed and where my great x3 grandfather is buried with a monument put up by the Fed. Gov. about 5 years or so ago.
I’ve never been there, and need to go. over 600 of the original 2,000 acres is still in the family.......
