I am very interested in the book about Pleasant G. Alfred Cox and his children. He is one of my ancestors.

Tim, Thrasher is in the area where a lot of them live so probably true. Not sure of the royalties, but my Uncle might know, I’ll ask him. Sorry for the late reply.

I’ve been talking to my one surviving uncle about the family. According to him the Barnes & some of the Shook family came from the Thrasher community near Booneville. Does anyone know if that is correct. He’s in his eighties but has very good recall. Also I’ve often wondered if Flatt & Scruggs ever paid Bolivar royalties for their cover (recording) of “Cabin on the Hill”?

I think we’re related through Cox line. My name is Bruce Thorne and my line is from Colbert/Franklin Co., AL. Most of my line lived in the Freedom Hills. My grandfather, Richard Humphrey Thorne added the E because his birth certificate had the E on it. He was afraid if he changed it his benefits would be affected.
My wife wrote a book about the Thorn(e)’s in Colbert and Franklin Counties, AL.

Hello. So that would make your grandpa Billy Shook and my daddy brothers. Maybe they are half or step brothers. My daddy was James Finley Shook (nickname Spot).
