On This Day in Family History - February 24

 Amy Lorene Tamsett Carter was born 24 February 1882

The Tamsett family was related to the Carter and Arnold families in several ways.

First off, Sarah Tamsett was the midwife who delivered my grandmother, Cleffie Hicks (Burford) into this world on 08 August 1917. (You can read all about it in my book "The Woods Is Full of 'Em")

Amy Tamsett married John Martin Carter, brother of my great-great-grandmother Adaline Carter Arnold. John and Amy had eight children: Othinal, Ned, Lovada, Agnes, Ollie, Elmer, Eulene, and Ruth. (I won't post all their pictures here, although I do have pictures of all of them.)

Jackson Tamsett's sister Josie married George Bullard... which leads us to another whole branch of in-laws -- the Bullards -- which are connected in several MORE ways to the Arnold family (but that's a story for another day)

Leona married William Limuel Phalamil Hamby, and they had at least one child that I know of

I also have a picture of a Euna Hamby, but I haven't been able to yet confirm exactly how she is related.
