WOW, thanks.
Ironically, my ancestors were in eastern Tennessee, inhabited the same county here that Davy Crocket was born and lived in. They hunted and fished along the banks of the Nolichucky River, where Davy Crocket did.
There's still a lot of bear hunters here, and they value their hounds. I've seen hounds sell for $10,000.
My grandmother used to tell me stories about her brothers and uncles hunting on their land, and surrounding land, which is now part of the Cherokee National Forest.
My ancestor settled in Greene County, on a land grant he received for service in the Revolutionary War. At one time this county was part of North Carolina. It is located up on the N.C/Tennessee border. It was also the home of President Andrew Johnson.

Because of your ancestor, you and I have a representative in Congress, rather than none in Parliament. Because of Sam Houston I am typing in English rather than Spanish. Because of what the Jamestown colony Virginians learned my paycheck comes from a private individual rather than the state, any your tradition and value of hounds is decided by those Tennessee citizens participating in their chosen avocation. And because North Carolina was unable to properly assist the citizens of the Tennessee territory, Tennesseans themselves fought for and created the great state of Tennessee (and Franklin).
