| The Kellum Family tree is a continuing work in progress. It is a combined efford of many family members. Not only for the recording of names and dates, but a depiction of the Kellum family over the past 200 years. Introduction I am a “Guinea Girl.” I was born Nancy Marie Kellum to Norman Kellum and Margaret Emily Gunn. My parents started married life in the Severn area of Guinea living with my grandparents, Herbert and Ethel Hogge Kellum. In January of 1954 my parents, my older sister and I, two weeks old, moved into a two room cinderblock house that my father built on Line Fence Road in what was know as the 'heart' of Guinea. Thus, I grew up surrounded by grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins just down the road in any direction for miles. My Father My father, like his ancesters, was a net fisherman who loved the river and owned a small skiff that he kept at Brown's Bay. He was also a bricklayer who gained the reputation of being one of the best in Gloucester County. And even though we were poor, I remember always being proud that I was Norman Kellum's daughter. My goal It wasn't until the summer of 2003 that my interest in family connections and my curiosity in the people of Guinea grew wings. During my search for information I have met a lot of kind, wonderful people, some related, some not. My goal in this project is to leave my children and family an understanding and pride in our heritage. |
