About this ebook

A personal story of the origination of two family’s early Celtic, Norman, Welch origins through their Scot, Irish and English descendant’s migrations to Colonial America. A survival story of overcoming severe limitations while continuously seeking to protect and provide for their families through persistence, faith and pure grit. Migrating from the Appalachian Mountains’ Berkshire spurs of western Massachusetts and Pennsylvania south into the remote southern Appalachian Mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina, they would raise their large families. With little outside support, a distrust of centralized government and a fierce independence, they would sustain their families through farming, logging, coal mining and the sale of meat, vegetables, and occasionally home brewed “moon shine”.

Author

Willard Paul Armes

Willard Paul Armes served as a U.S. Marine infantry officer in Vietnam where he received the Silver Star Medal for combat actions. Returning home to complete an undergraduate degree with honors from Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, N.C., he would soon return to active military service. During his U.S. Marine Corps career, he would earn a master’s degree from Pepperdine University and graduate from both the U.S. Naval and U.S. Army’s graduate level schools. After serving sea and shore duties throughout the world, Armes would complete his Marine Corps career as the Chief of Staff for the largest Marine force in the world. Upon leaving active military service, Armes relocated to Tampa, Florida where he worked several years in financial planning, start-up businesses, and as a college instructor. However, following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Armes would join a Washington, D.C. based congressionally mandated federal task force. As this task force became operational, he would leave his Washington assignment to serve several more years as a senior executive with multiple joint anti-terrorist task forces throughout America.
