stories and photographs of cousins and ancestors, inspired by the July 2013

and other associated families lived (and many still do) in the lush valleys and
highlands of beautiful Western North Carolina. Below, left to right Shirley, Len Wilson and his mother, Jeane Lewis Wilson, resting in the swing at the Donnelly-Sorrell house in Sutherland along the North Fork of the New River.
