More of my 262 direct ancestors in America lived in Bradley County than in anywhere else in the country - at least 15 of them. Not surprisingly, Bradley County is also the locale where my longest string of ancestors have lived, in three senses:
- The most consecutive years (over 145), from the time my great*3 grandfather Levi Trewhitt moved arrived in the early 1830s until my grandfather, Clarence Richmond, Sr, died in 1980,
- The most consecutive generations of ancestors who lived and died in Bradley County (3), from Levi Trewhitt's daughter Mary Ann through her grandson, my grandfather, Clarence Richmond, Sr., and
- The most consecutive generations of ancestors who were born or died in Bradley County(5), from Levi Trewhitt through his great-great grandson, my father, Clarence Richmond, Jr.
