Croxdale Family of Tennessee
I'm Raven Croxdale, and I've been looking into my family history, but at the moment I've stumbled upon a dead end. If you have any information, I'd love it if you would share with me. My father's name is Brian James Croxdale (1958-Present). His fathers name was James Croxdale (1929-2004) His father was William Marion Croxdale (W.M.) (1884-1945) This is as far back as I am able to trace at the moment, but I do know all of the spouses/siblings/children of each generation, if needed. Also, as far as I can find, the Croxdales have been in Tennessee near Claiborne, Knoxville, and Hamblen. Again, any information is greatly appreciated. -Raven Croxdale
