Welcome to your family history.  After doing many years of research on my various  sides of the family, and searching through many cemeteries, I came up with the name  for my site; "Sinner Saved By Grace" because on many of the older tombstones that was  the eiptaph, the one that really struck me was my Great Great Grandfather Samuel  Washington Gilleland.  Once I saw it on his tombstone I knew that if I were ever able  to actually put this down in book form that would definitely be the name.  This site  includes many families, but especially my Gilleland, Phillips, Dobbs, Teague (Tigue),  Lance, Thomas, Deering (Dearing), and Fultons. If you are new to geneology the search  is so exciting! Be aware at the many interpretations that are now on the internet,  most are submitted just as mine is and is usually that person's view.  I try to make  sure my information is sourced and correct, and if you should find any misinformation,  please contact me.
 Sincerely, 
 Jeffrey Phillips Thomas-Ledesma
