Following the death of her father in 1997, the distant voices of the generations from whom he had descended began calling to the author of this family history. The first in a planned family history series, this volume focuses on the genealogical heritage of the author's paternal grandmother, Effie Thompson Kindle. A descendant of Peter Jett and Fleming Thompson, Effie Thompson Kindle ancestral connections included other families of note - Hite, Chrisman, Tapp, Branson, and Barnhart.
