I am descended from Aaron Gee born in KY about 1806. He may be the son of Robert Gee of Brunswick VA and his wife Nancy Hatwood. I haven't heard definitively if that connection was ever proven.
I am descended from the Shrack family in Indiana. I also am trying to trace down the origins of Huntington's Disease in our family. My mother, aunt and Grandfather died with it, as did my grandfather's brother and several of his family members. My grandfather was Orlando Shrack, his father was George Shrack and his mother was Bessie Sipe. Bessie lived to a ripe old age, so it is assumed that the illness came through the Shrack's.
Thanks for the response, LeAnn. None of the names you mentioned ring any bells. Our Shrack's were mostly around Portland, Redkey, Dunkirk and Hartford City in Indiana.
Our branch descends from John Shrack, but our Face Book page has also welcomed others from Ohio and Kansas. They are descendents of John Shrack's brothers, Wm and Samuel. I'm entirely new at this. I have a cousin, Ron Shrack, who has done extensive research into several branches of the family. I don't know how I stumbled upon the Kitterman, and as far as I know, there is no connection. John Shrack was born in 1773,so obviously there are a few other generations in there.
