Hi All:
I am new to the list, here is a little about myself.
James C. Donnelly born October 21 1920 in Mt. City, TN to James Clyde
Donnelly & Valarie Linville Donnelley. My father was son of R. H. M. Donnelly
the son of William Donnelly (1792) the son of Robert Donnelly (1760) of
Taylorsvile, TN. (Mt. City).
I have researching the Donnelly history for almost five years about full
time. I have at the present over 9000 families in the Donnelly file. about
3000 in the Donnelly line.
I will be my pleasure to help anyone with what I have. My goal is every one
should be able to view their history.
Now that said and done I am stuck on the below family. Any information would
be greatly appreciated.
