Researching: Foxworthy, Perry, Gorham, Lemmon

 

The most recent genealogical charts (Generation Reports, actually) may be found at my page on the Family Tree Maker web site.      Clicking on this link will take you to a different Internet site. Use your browser's BACK button to return to this page.

Research on this tree was begun by Neal's younger son, Mark.  Unfortunately his Navy career leaves him little time for research, so I've been helping out here.

The question we, and probably all Foxworthys are asked when paying by personal check is: "Any relation to Jeff?".  Well, in the sense that the name implies some kinship somewhere back in the past, the answer is "Maybe - if you go back far enough."

So far we haven't seen evidence of Foxworthys in the United States before the early 1700's. We haven't done any research in England.   Internet searches show that there are also Australian Foxworthys doing genealogical research.

The Perry line has been difficult to trace because Neal's great grandfather Perry's first name is not known.  He apparently died when Neal's grandfather, Patrick Clabron Perry was a child.  The wife then married a Mr. Lee whose first name is also not known.  Nor is the first name of Neal's great grandmother known. Census records for Patrick Clabron Perry (known as Clabe) and his wife Nannie Louise Gorham (Texas, 1900) indicate that Patrick was born in Tennessee in 1871. If you think you may have some information here, PLEASE contact me.

Research on the Gorham and Lemmon lines has not begun.  Considerable information on the Gorhams does already exist but has not yet been completely added. I have not yet begun to look at the Lemmon family.

Forest Foxworthy married Anna Perry and had two sons, Neal and Warren.

Neal was previously married to Margaret Hutchings and had two sons, Tod and Mark.

Tod and his wife Mary have two daughters, Courtney & Becky.  Mark and his wife Melissa have a son Taylor and a daughter Brianna.   You'll find them on the photo page.

If you've read this far, you are probably part of the family, too. If so, please contact me. I’d love to talk to you and learn more about your branch of the tree.
