Thanks so much Dr. Barry! I always enjoy hearing about the German families!

[@BarryVann]

It's a pleasure! Barry

[@deborahbarton3987]

Hi enjoy your show. I wondered if you have knowledge of the names Gates, Corns, and Barton. Thanks and keep the names coming.

[@BarryVann]

Good morning, I'll make sure to look into Gates, Corns, and Barton. They are already on my list to research. Thanks, Barry

[@timbooher5038]

Thank you for the information on my family name!!! It backs up what I have found. We pronounce it Booer (the H is silent) Thanks again!!!!

[@BarryVann]

Thanks for that clarification. I'm just an East Tennessee redneck who had some book learnin!

[@Luannnelson547]

How are things in your area, Dr. Vann? It’s a wreck where we are though not nearly as bad as out in the county.

[@BarryVann]

@@Luannnelson547 Luann, we caught a break here. I just returned from traveling through Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia. We saw lots of damaged areas with power out. Do you have power back on. I’m concerned about some folks in our little KZbin community. I hope Papaw and Lewis are ok. I’m glad you are able to get online.

Excellent addition of maps when it helps with story.

@@BarryVann undergraduate degree in linguistics, minor in geography, you bet I enjoy your posts.

[@BarryVann]

@@CarolineDunn-k6t That’s awesome! It’s always nice to meet a fellow geographer. I did a series on the historical development English language. I focused on the contributions made by groups that I’m sure you know. I am no professional linguist. Most of my books are on environmental history and religious geography. My book Puritan Islam is my most challenging work, but my favorite is The Forces of Nature: Our Quest to conquer the Planet.

Peacock. I don't find many people with my name.I was born in Mississippi in the 1950's up in the "HILLS" . I googled the name and as best I can tell it's supposed to be Scots -Irish. It's kind of rare but I've seen an old advert in England with the name Peacock. Great videos, thumbs up!

[@BarryVann]

David, I once lived in Shaw, Mississippi. Ike Galtelli was a neighbor who loved to tell me about the old days in Bolivar County. One of his stories invoked Mr. Peacock. It seems you relative had bought a Roadmaster Buick. When a local fellow asked him if it got good mpg, Mr. Peacock said, “A man that owns a Roadmaster Buick doesn’t worry about gas mileage.

[@luisvelasco316]

There's a lot of connections in this episode, Barry. I grew up in IL with a girl named Tennant, whose older brother was Andy Tennant, He had a very cool yellow Pontiac Tempest convertible, and later went on to be a successful Hollywood director. Yount and Younce are names here in NC, and one county native went off to Medical School then actually came back to the "auld sod" and practices as a Cardiologist. I also know a Hauck family, but they moved here from NJ. Have a nice trip. Hope your family in Eastern TN escaped damage from the storm.

[@BarryVann]

@@luisvelasco316 Hi Luis, we had some challenges traveling through Georgia on our way to Charleston, but we just arrived ten minutes before the video uploaded. Thanks for the well wishes. I’ll pass them along to Amy, Karen, and Rob.

[@lymantria10]

Good video. Tennessee statehood was 1796 (not 1794). Yount surname shows up in Watauga Co NC and neighboring counties.

[@BarryVann]

I caught myself on the date. You are correct.

[@pdrake2572]

Yes, a treat.. Hawk is the only name on tonights presentation that I'm personally familiar with..I know a man from Tennessee with that sirname.. My family was associated with Hawkins in England, years ago..wonder if there's a connection between Hawk and Hawkins families..?

[@BarryVann]

Paul, that's some good deduction! I covered Hawkins in Episode 7 (January 20, 2021), but I don't remember if I mentioned that when "in" appears at the end of a surname, it means little. The "s" could be the son of or a plural appellation.

For grins and giggles; I brought up my family tree because many of my relatives arrived early; imagine my surprise to see 7th GG Grandparents names of Johan Martin Schwedener and Anna Marie Hauck! Johan arrived in Philadelphia 1738, (passed in April 1757 buried in Berks County) they settled in Berks County... I have a lot of family who began their American lives in Berks County first.. then expanded; a lot...lol.

[@jimbobjones5972]

@@BarryVann I hear you. My family roots are in East Tennessee as well, and while I grew up far from there, I was raised in a very rural part of the United States. I did, however, go to college in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the late 70s when Yount played for the Brewers. Many people from Appalachia and the broader Southeast found their way to Milwaukee for industrial jobs during the early-to-mid 20th century. Anyway, while I am one of them (democratic) "socialists" you speak of, I am also a Christian, and I do appreciate your videos. Milwaukee, you might recall, had a couple of socialist mayors and a couple of socialist US House members. Milwaukee was the home of "sewer socialism," meaning that the emphasis was on making sure the city had a decent water and sewer system everywhere. The legacy of these folks also included a lot of public green space throughout the city including all of the waterfront on Lake Michigan.

Yo Barry. I have Hawk ancestors. A Michael Hawk born 1731 who was a Revolutionary War Patriot was my 7th great grandfather from Pennsylvania. He was from Heilbronn, Germany. His son moved into Fayette County Ohio very near to Centerville, Ohio were AJ Hawk went to high school before playing at Ohio State and playing for the Green Bay Packers. I am pretty sure he is a distant cousin. I am also a distant cousin to Cole Hauser of the TV show Yellowstone. We share common 4th great grandfather.

[@Khatoon170]

Thank you for your wonderful cultural channel dr Barry . We just prayed dawn prayers before one hour . I think you are in the afternoon or evening. I looked up for meanings and origin of surnames you mentioned briefly here it’s tennant is Scottish , English: status name for a farmer who his land from overlord by obligations of rent or service , from Middle English tena ( u) nt “ tenant” ( old French tenant ) . Yount is British , Irish, which comprises 51. 5 percent of all ancestry found in people with surname. The next two most common ancestries are French , German ( 32. 9 percent) and Eastern European ( 4. 0 percent) . The surname booher is derived from the Middle High German word “ bur” , meaning, a small dwelling or building. The word came to mean ( neighbor) or fellow citizen. Hawk is a masculine name of English origin to remind a babies to sharpen their talons with pride . Meaning “ bird or prey “ this badass name offers plenty of inspiration from the sharp - eyed , stoic creature . Hawks or falcons have long been synonymous with strength, grace , wisdom. I hope you like my research. Good luck to you your family friends.

Khatoon, many thanks for your message. May God bless you!
