| Background Information My Mother Margaret Louise, known as Louise, was born in Palmyra, TN, March 23, 1911. She was one of 12 children. Her twin brother Marlan Louis Neblett and her mother Fredonia Elizabeth (Bette) Greene died shortly after her birth. Her father William Robert Lee Neblett remarried and had four more children. She grew up under the care of her step-mother, Annie Lou McCauley, and two sisters Theo and Ora. She lived in Palmyra until she married Marshal Hunter November 9, 1934. She gave birth to three children, twins--Patrick and Patricia, and a son Fred, while living in Tennessee. About 1941 Marshal and his brother Louis Gold moved our families to Canton, Ohio. In 1946 she gave birth to her last child, Marlan. She and Marshal lived in Canton until retirement. They then moved back to Clarksville, TN, to be close to family and the place they always considered home. She and Marshal remained in Clarksville until her death in 1982. Marshal lived his last 18 months in Columbia, SC, with Fred. Both are bured in Clarksville Most of her remaining siblings and relatives live in the Clarksville, Nashville area. A link to her decendants is below. She had 10 grandchildren, and there are now 14 great-grandchildren, and 2 great-great-grandchildren. She has many interesting ancestors, including a line to President Abraham Lincoln and actor Tom Hanks, |

| Researcher's, historians, and writers are still not sure who Abe's Mother, Nancy Hanks, parents are. However, there is a definite link to our family for she was a descendant of Luke Hanks I, through one of his sons, either James, Joseph, Luke II, or Abraham. Louise's 6th Great-Grandfather (Neblett ancestors) is William Hanks I (1650-1703), who is also Abraham Lincoln's 3rd or 4th Great-Grandfather. Thus, Louise would be 4th cousin, 3 or 4 times removed. |

| Louise's 6th Great-Grandfather, William Hanks I (1650-1703), is also the 7th Great-Grandfather of today's famous actor Tom Hanks. Thus, Louise is his 7th cousin, once removed. Tom, of course, is also related to Abraham Lincoln. |

| As a child, I was fortunate to spend a lot of time with my grandmother. I would travel on a Greyhound bus up to Tennessee on my summer breaks and during the holidays. While visiting with my grandma, I was able to experience a side of her that I believe most people never got to see. I was always told that grandma had numerous heath issues and generally didn�t feel well, that wasn�t very apparent to me. While I was with her, she was often quite playful and caring. I recall in the evenings, while we were watching TV, she would sit in her chair and I would lie on the couch. We would play a little game where she would tickle my feet and then pull back her hand and act like she hadn�t done it. She�d make me giggle and then she�d smile. While staying at my grandparent�s house, we�d have supper every afternoon. I mentioned once that I liked corn; well, everyday after that, she made sure that I had corn with my supper. To this day, I could still eat corn with every supper. Another special memory that I have came about every Friday. On Fridays, Aunt Theo would come pick us up and they would get their hair done, we�d go to Shoney�s for lunch, and then to the drug store where grandma would let me pick out a new coloring book.
My grandma passed away when I was twelve years old. I look back at the visits I had with her and I hope she was as happy spending time with me as I was happy spending time with her. |
