Formerly, "Just Thinking", this blog presents the thoughts and experiences of a family historian working to demystify the past and uncover the stories of an elusive ancestry. NC surnames are YARBOROUGH, NEAL, GREEN, HAWKINS, DUNSTON, DAVIS, BROWN, ROSS, HILL, BRYANT, and DAVENPORT in Franklin, Warren, Halifax, and Tyrrell Counties.
With so much of my family's history shrouded in darkness, is my personal mission to uncover the hidden details of my ancestry and bring them INTO THE LIGHT.

Wordless Wednesday - On The Farm
That's my daddy, Arthur P. Yarborough (behind the cow) and his first-cousin, George R. Greene. My dad lived with George's family during his teen years in Nash County, NC.
Ummm...thanks, Dr. Bill, but my dad wasn't at work! He was about 13 years old, and his cousin was about 8. They were at home on the family farm. :) Thanks for commenting!
Renate, Sorry, I grew up on a farm, and when I see cows, I assume they are part of a work routine. Hope my comment was not out of line... I've been looking for photos of folks as work... just assumed... ;-)
Your comment was fine! It made me take another look at the photo through "different" eyes, and I realized that my dad could easily pass for someone who was old enough to be a young worker...
You were not out of line at all, and thanks again for commenting! (I love comments!)
