Edna Campbell Vineyard
There really is a method to this madness 😁! My plan for this blog was to NOT start with my parents. The information about them will be long and complete a little later on. I have so much love and respect for both of my parents: Truman Bryan Quillin Sr. and Carolita Jones Quillin. Since they are my parents, I will have so much information to share.
But my plan is to initially cover the ancestors in my direct brackets, starting with my grandparents and showing proof of my connections through sources. I have so much accumulated information for ALL of my ancestors so I will be doubling back once I complete the initial information on each direct ancestor.
I started at the top of my brackets again on September 9, 2023. The top of those brackets is my QUILLIN line. These people would all be my great-great grandparents. I have completed the surface information on Ira D. Quillin born 1831. Today was the day to start with Ira's wife Edna Vineyard, the Vineyard line, the next bracket down. But as I opened the information about Edna and the Vineyards, the true researcher in me came out, just like it always does. I get so darned sidetracked because I'm so interested in the research. Today, when I began to put together a history sheet for Edna, I see further connections between the Vineyard line and the Quillin line. Because my tree is so complete, I can filter down and see how the different lines connect on different levels.
I will continue with Edna tomorrow because as the famous line from Gone With the Wind says, "After all, tomorrow is another day." I realized this morning that Edna's older sister Polly married into the Coley family and their grandson, Isaac Grady Coley born 1891 married back into the Quillin line. Isaac Coley married Anna Elizabeth Quillin born 1891. Anna is a granddaughter of Martin Bird Quillin who is MY IRA D QUILLIN'S older brother.
I have always felt connected to Edna and now I see that there is a double connection.
