    Cute picture. Before I saw his "legs" I thought he was trying to lift the log.

      I bet you that is how this picture started. My son is constantly trying to show how strong he is. He probably tried to lift the log and that is when my husband saw an opportunity for a great shot.

I have to thank a fellow genealogy friend of mine who helped me out a couple of months ago, Nathaniel Glasgow. He brought to my attention a deed which documents the sale of about an acre land from a woman named Charity Ambrose  to the trustees of Mt. Olive AME Zion Church in Riverdale, NC. Guess who's listed among the trustees. My maternal 3rd great grandfather and his son, Mortimer and Alfred Mitchell.

Back in May of 2016, I was surprised to discover another child of my maternal 3rd great grandparents Cesar and Mary Jones. His name was Carolina Hauckins.
