My family tree Cables are from the area you designate, but they were German in family
origination, not English. If you think it might be someone you are looking for, give me
some names and dates and I will check them out. The original family member came over as a
Hessian soldier in the Revolution, decided he was on the wrong side after being captured
at Trenton, then fought for the Colonials.
After the war he married a farmer's daughter from Randolph
Co., NC, began a family around Boone, NC, then came across the mtns. to what became
Johnson County, TN. They had twelve children, so there are a lot of descendants.
