Join me for episode 3 as we explore a family legend tied to an heirloom clock. To uncover the roots of this story, we’ll examine the associated timeline, complicated ancestral context, and the perspective of the storyteller. Also, if you don’t know anything about John Hunt Morgan, we’ll give you a little history lesson about this Civil War Confederate General. As always, episode notes are available on my website: genealogyliteracy.com/BloodRoot
