Leslie on my mother's side, Webb on my paternal grandmother's. I wear orange on Saint Patrick's day.

ROFL! I've done that since I was a kid, when my grandfather would stick an orange hat and sweater on me and then we'd go to the parade. Nobody would mess with Judge King and his grandson!

I've got Scots-Irish Presbyterian ancestors, Thomas King and Jane Sharp, that came from Londonderry in 1704, settled in Pennsylvania and then the entire family moved down to Northeastern Tennessee in 1782. It was at times, Virginia, North Carolina and the State of Franklin, before finally becoming Tennessee.

As one who has both 'green' and 'orange' ancestry, i have mixed feelings about this. My compromise: I wear green for St Patrick's and orange for hunting.
