CARROLL COUNTY TENNESSEE

Hello - my name is Christine Walters , the County Co-ordinator for Carroll County Tennessee. Your ancestors "made the difference" in Carroll County History, they were special and need to be presented in a "special" way. Genealogy Trails is a website that caters to what you the researchers would like to see here. Your family histories, stories, obits and articles will be very welcome. Anything you have that could help the Carroll County researcher would be very much appreciated by me as well as the future genealogist. There is a legend, that at the time of Jesus Christ's Crucifixion the dogwood was the size of the oak and other forest trees. So firm and strong was the tree that it was chosen as the timber for the cross. To be used thus for such a cruel purpose greatly distressed the tree, and Jesus, nailed upon it, sensed this, and in his suffering said to it: Because of your regret and pity for My suffering, never again shall the dogwood tree grow large enough to be used a a cross. Henceforth it shall be slender and bent and twisted and its blossoms shall be in the form of a cross...two long and two short petals. And in the center of the outer edge of each petal there will be nail prints, brown with rust and stained with red, and in the center of the flower will be a crown of thorns, and all who see it will remember. Although the dogwood is not Tennessee's state tree it really should be. Tennessee nurseries grow more dogwoods than any other state and have been doing it for more than one hundred years. The dogwood blooms in April when Easter Sunday marks the resurrection of Christ after the Crucifixion.
