The landscape painting (below) was painted by Merphia from a photo that was taken by my mother after a vacation trip to Colorado. This was Mother's favorite spot in the mountains. It forever hung in our home.
Digging into our family history creates deep connections. Genealogy is about finding our roots. As we research our family tree, we realize how our lives are intertwined with the history of our great nation. My family history includes the Quillin family, the Ewing family, the McNair family, the Jones family, the Bridges family, the King family and the Hulsey family. It is an honor to share their family stories. Search each family name by clicking the labels on the bottom right side.

The Artist - Merphia Ewing Quillin Hart
There have been different spellings of her name. We called her Granny, but in my research, I always use the spelling that she placed on her artwork. She was talented with oils on canvas. These two pieces are still in my possession. Granny gave them to my mother, Carolita Quillin.
Granny signed her artwork as MERPHIA HART.
She enjoyed painting still-life and landscape.
