DAR member via Maggard/Francis Sturgill
I've outlined the path on my FamilySearch Tree that is proven if there are others that are interested in DAR or SAR membership.

I am working to improve my various family lines and to coordinate my FamilySearch with Find a Grave and make things better for everyone to be able to understand what is proven already, and to share the photos and information that I have.

On my father's side I work on: Maggard (Samuel side) - This line of the family has been written about in the book, Coming Down the Cumberland - A History of the Maggard Family of Eastern Kentucky, by V.N. Bud Phillips, copyright 1991, reprinted with index and changes 2004 by The Overmountain Press, ISBN 1-57072-295-1. It seems to be out of print, but a library should be able to find it and transfer it to a local library. It is extremely useful, but the birthdates are not quite accurate (frequently). Never the less, it is a good guide to understand the family line and who married who and which children they had. The family is NOT German, they are Mennonites from Switzerland that were from a German speaking area.

Also on my father's side I work on:
Williams, Spears, Gray, Richards, Walkup, Cox, Watts, Pratt, Gibson, Campbell, Creech, Cornett and more.
They were all early settlers and some moved progressively West to Texas and Oklahoma.
A large amount of them moved to Tennessee or Kentucky and stayed there.

On my mother's maternal side, other family members have done an excellent job and written an in-depth book. They came here in the late 1800's, almost exclusively through Ellis Island and are well documented. The paternal side is less well documented, but they are Burns, and settled in Pennsylvania, worked in coal mines and then came to the Chicago area where they were involved with the local steel mills.
