This post covers almost all the main branches of my family tree - Beverly Jones, Mildred Arnold, Boston Dunn, and Noma Dye are from the Hicks/Arnold side. Cleo Ford, Russell Herdman, and Stephen Ford are from the Thomas/Ford side. Todd Hombs is from the Burford/Gibson side. 

This is how I keep them organized in my brain -- by my four sets of great-grandparents:

Ulysses Hicks and Annie Arnold

Alexander Burford and Lora Gibson

Charles Thomas and Nancy Ford

Marcus Treat and Massie Parker
