I felt I had to learn a lot about genealogy before I tackled the Lloyd files.
So I am finally beginning the search for Thomas S. Lloyd's ancestry. But I am not the first family member to look for his ancestry!
Thomas is my 4th great grandfather, who was born in 1763 and died in 1857. The one certain thing is that he is buried near Rutledge, Grainger, Tennessee in the Lloyd Cemetery on the Cabbage Farm. Family story is that he was born in Chester County, Pennsylvania. Family story is that he served in the NC Brigade in the Revolutionary War. Yes, I am trying to prove he served. Yes, I am trying to prove his parents and where he was born.
Gilla Ann Lloyd Mellinger (1873-1947) worked very hard on the Lloyd genealogy. These are pictures from her trip to Rutledge, Tennessee. The pictures were taken 17 October 1927. I have negatives and pictures that were made from the negatives.

Isn't this a great picture? Cleaning and trimming branches at the cemetery.

I wonder if it is still visible?
