I know some of it will be bogus. For instance, the entry for Davidson County, Tennessee, appears only because a Foy died here while attending medical school in 1858 and then later my family moved here in 1951. This leaves a false impression that Foys lived in Davidson County for almost 150 years. There may be other entries with similar problems.

Click on the county to be taken to a research site associated with that county. (Some are more useful than others.)
