Carrie Lee Ownbey: Smoky Mountain Ancestral Quest

Generation: 1

Carrie Lee Ownbey was born 13 Oct 1892, Broad River Township, Buncombe County, North Carolina; died 8 Sep 1982, Buncombe County, North Carolina; was buried Bald Mountain Baptist Church Cemetery.

Notes:

Born near Hickory Nut Mountain.

When we were in North Carolina in 1968, in April, Aunt Carrie Lee was living in
a new home, and was an interesting person - very guarded with her history of
her people. What has been given had to be a fight ... and so I was corrected
on many of my notes and dates, but she did give me some new facts which I
carefully wrote down in my notebook. We were in her kitchen sitting on the
long "Beacon type" bench with my husband and teenage son, Bob, across from us.
Aunt Carrie Lee and Cuyva stood ready to aid us. I was a little astonished at
all this kindness, and perhaps, a little uneasy at my manerisms - I didn't want
to eat. I'd rather sit and "soak up" the tranquility of the home, the land and
and the easy hospitality granted to their own, Ralph White, and their alien
kinship (even of a Yankee descendent). The table was set with home grown and
home made foods. I relished it very much, it is much the same as we eat at
home when dad does the cooking. I cannot reproduce the same effect as our
hillbilly daddy can.

God Bless them as He has in the past.
