I saw your post on RootsWeb. Tried the email address, but it didn't work.

I am the granddaughter of Vernell Anders of Lavinia, TN. She passed a few weeks ago. You can find her obituary on the internet.

If you read the obituary, you'll see that Anders is her married name and her mom and dad were Henry and Laura Strayhorn. I would love to learn more about you and the rest of my family, if you have information. I recognize the name Hutch. There are still people by the name of Hutch who live near my mom in Carroll County. I'm not sure if those Hutches are from the strand you mentioned in your post, but I don't mind driving up there and asking some questions to know for sure.
Now that I think about it, my friend from high school told me a few weeks ago that her dad, whose last name was Hutch was of Native American descent. About 20 years ago, my grandmother told me I was related to her. Wow! I'm going to get in touch with her.

I do believe my great grandmother died in a tornado. I don't know any earlier history, though.

Anybody know anything about these people?
