Dad’s Genealogy of Babbitts and Harrods (Microsoft Word)
By Samuel Glenn Harrod
History comes to life through the words of Samuel Glenn Harrod. Enjoy this unique and wonderful recollection of history through the stories that Glenn heard as a young person and thankfully had the urge to write down and share with us. Many familiar names from the Adkisson ancestry are mentioned in these stories along with their cousins and relatives. In these accounts pieces of their lives will live on forevermore. I can only hope that Samuel Glenn is able to look down upon us and see how much these stories mean to us and also to know how thankful we are to receive them.
