"If man cares not for his roots,
Then how can he care for his branches?"

The Southerland Family Came From Virginia.
Beginning with William Southerland in 1792. They seem to have traveled to East Tennessee and made their home there.
William settled in the Black Fox section of what is now Union Co, TN.
Several generations seemed to have followed in his foot steps.
I have found only a few Southerlands that left East TN, Moving only to Southeast Kentucky, mainly Whitley & Daviess KY.

I have noticed during my research that there are many Williams
and Ambroses in the family.

The last of the Great, Great Granddaughters of William Southerland and Mary "Polly" Maples recently Passed.
They were the Daughters Of Evan Marion Southerland and Luviney Hammock Earle.
Their names were Lillie Mae b.1917 and died February-23-1995, Della Dorie b.1919 and died 1976, Nancy Ann b. 1922, Died 1999 and Isabelle Luviney B. 1925 and died 2002.

'Beneath The Weathered Stone'
So now I stand above you...
above your place of rest
And wonder 'bout the life you led
and mysteries you now keep
I stare down at the weathered stone
that time has tried to claim
That only gives the dates you lived
and your familiar name.
Oh what I'd give for just an hour
To talk awhile with you
To learn of things you loved and did
and people that you knew
To hear about the trials and joys
you knew when you were here
Was there a time you spoke of these
but no one lent an ear?
You more than likely worked a lot
with little time to play
The life you lived was for your mate
and children that you raised
You took each day one at a time
and did the best you could
Expecting naught from anyone
but giving when you should
Of deeds you did along the way
perhaps you'll never know
There are things, after all,
that we take with us when we go
So rest in peaceful slumber now...
and know that you live on
In generations left behind
and those still yet to come.
