History and Families 1820-1995 (From the Acknowledgement) “The historical society presents this book to the citizens Perry County of yesterday, today and tomorrow as a symbol of Perry County’s spirit that is repeatedly evidenced in the family histories found on its pages."
Campbell, Cude, Lomax, and Whitwell families also mentioned.
The main premise of the book: It was written to destroy ignorance and myth. It was written to separate fact from fiction and truth from folklore. It was written to highlight knowledge and establish it as a necessity of production, happiness and fulfillment of life. The book is a testimony that "the most violent element in society is ignorance," "A mind is a terrible thing to waste and if you think education cost, try ignorance!" It was written to correct the historically dangerous sentiment that "What you don't know won't hurt you." But, let it be proclaimed from every mountain, hill and housetop, "What you don't know can not only hurt you, but, destroy you."
