Surnames of Appalachia and the American South, S2:6

Welcome to episode 6 of our second season on the Surnames of Appalachia and the American South. For those of you searching for earlier videos, please write to me at [email protected], and I will send you a catalog that lists each name and the episode in which it was covered.  On today’s episode, we’ll investigate six more names that were requested by people just like you.  If you are new to the channel, I try to mix in a bit of history and trivia along with the origin and meaning of the surnames.  I hope that you will see that while we might be patriotic Americans, we share cultural traits with long dead people who never saw the land of the free and the home of the brave.  I hope you’ll join me.
