A powerful family saga rooted deep in the hills of Eastern Kentucky.
For researchers of the Watkins name—or anyone tracing family lines through Appalachia—The Mountains Know Their Names offers a richly woven, five-generation family history centered on Thomas Watkins Jr., who settled in Floyd County, Kentucky, in the early 1800s.

Also includes research on these collateral families:
Barnett • Bailey • Bradley • Cole • Collins • Joseph • Rowe • Salyer • Stone • Tussey
