Mother Gail Marie Sechrest Jones Thompson Gail is a homemaker, awesome cook, and very active in her church. She is the BEST mom that there could possibly be!

Grandfather Paul Sechrest "Dado" Paul was a fireman, an insurance salesman, and manager of the Artcraft Glove Company in Johnson City, Tennessee. He was active in the church and loved to play golf.

Grandmother "Mungy" Willie Alma Lee Rowe Sechrest Alma Lee was a homemaker, incredible cook, active in her church where she enjoyed singing and participating in drama, and a wonderful mom and grandmother.

Great-Grandparents Robert Curtley and Eva Lucas Sechrest Robert and Eva Lucas Sechrest were married in Kentucky in the late 1800s and came to Tennessee in the early 1920s, moving to Johnson City from Erlanger, KY in 1921 or 1922, to operate a transportation firm. They moved to Nashville in 1942 and Robert worked for Phillips and Buttorff Co. Eva attended Georgetown College in Kentucky and was a school teacher prior to her marriage to Robert.

Great-Great-Grandparents Manoah B. and Mildred Brumback Lucas I know very little about my great-great grandparents except that they lived and died in Kentucky. Manoah was born in Indiana and later moved to Kentucky where he met Mildred. They had six children with Eva being the youngest. They were married in 1856 in Williamstown, Kentucky. My grandfather, Paul, and his twin sister Pauline are seated.

Great-Great Grandmother Emmeline Clementine Blanchet Jones Sechrest Hedger Stephenson There is very little known about Emma except that she was married several times and apparently had children by every husband. She was disowned by her parents at some point and left the area as my great-grandfather, Robert Curtly, was raised by his grandparents, Henri and Caroline Blanchet.
