"....Huge men, barrel chested, reddish gold hair. Loud, opinionated, mistrustful of the law in any form -men who live by their own code-good men-men...

Have we met? LOL...I have had those same complaints lodged against me my whole life.

My family came to the timber lands of Mississippi from the Abbyville district of NC in the 1830s by way of Maryland and before that New Hampshire. My 5th Great Grand Father was a business associate of George Washington. I'm Scotch-Irish with heavy dose of Welsh blood. Tall, formerly blond, with a bright red beard. LOL

Too funny! And congrats! You come from good people! I saw on another thread awhile back that Scots-Irish was a misnomer- there was no such thing! Shrug. That’s what I’ve always been told my people were. A good dose of Welsh and Cherokee as well.
