My lineage from Samuel>John Samuel is one of John Samuel's kids born in SC also named Samuel (as am I) moved to MS territory, resulting in several descendants like me, born and raised in MS. But I've lived in Virginia for several years now and am fascinated with the VA and KY families' histories.

I have seen the mention of Andrew Jackson being a fan of Jamesd E. Crow whiskey but that of course should have been Old Crow whiskey. It seems like the 2 stories have been a bit muddled ofver the years, but you can still buy a bottle of Old Crow (but it's not a great whiskey). Anyway, it would be nice to hear from you. <br /> --Mike Stewartmstewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17536512621972414651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6657913448535983609.post-54029383375220953852019-04-19T06:53:15.817-07:002019-04-19T06:53:15.817-07:00SE Pepper: Link is allowed.

Presley O'Bannon, the first one to plant the US Flag on foreign soil as an occupation force, now famously recorded in the line from the USMC hymn "...to the shores of Tripoli"). Capt. O'Bannon later migrated to KY himself, but settled in a different area than his sister/brother in law.SE Pepperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09131539428670513649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6657913448535983609.post-91193170734495903252019-04-10T05:54:42.783-07:002019-04-10T05:54:42.783-07:00Sepepp: Thanks for this additional information ab...Sepepp: Thanks for this additional information about the Peppers.Jack Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01499431800088809848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6657913448535983609.post-78770858457272255612019-04-07T07:58:36.299-07:002019-04-07T07:58:36.299-07:00Great information here.
