I have identified all my ancestors going back 5 generations.  I am currently working on generations and 7.  I am also working on completing all the descendants of Thomas Sherman Kitts. 

 
Kitts (1st Generation)
I guess my tie to the Kitts family is obvious.  Much of the information I have on the Kitts family is for the Thomas Sherman branch.  However, I have collected information from other people on various other branches, but have not done much research on these branches.  I have done extensive research on the Kitts families in Kokomo, Indiana.  The first Kitts of my line to move to Kokomo from Union County, Tennessee  was James Arthur and his wife Clara along with his brother (my Great-Grandfather) Sherman Hobart.  Eventually they were followed by their father and  several brothers and sisters.  Currently I am working on completing all the descendants of Thomas Sherman. 
 
Shannon (2nd Generation)
This is where my interest in geneology all began.  My Grandfather (Eugene Shannon) began researching the family in the early 1970's.  As I was growing up he was always telling family stories and showing me his charts.  A few years ago he passed away and I guess I've picked up where he left off.  Most of my information on the Shannon, Teddar, Clavel and Campbell families came from his research.
 
Leffler and Wilkinson (3rd Generation)
These are the family names of my Grandmothers.  One item on this generation which I am researching is the adoption of my Grandmother (Madelynn Wilkinson).  Wilkinson is her adopted name.  Prior to her death, she did meet her birth mother, however few details are known.  Her birth  mothers family name is believed to have been Matchette.
