The bulk of service for the Presleys came out of North Carolina while the bulk of service for the Hood family came out of NC, MS, and AL. More to come on the fate of the brave Mississippians who fought and died at Gettysburg and the travesty at Sachs Bridge where three Mississippians from Barksdale's brigade were hung and to this day their name unknown. Their spirits linger still which
has caused the bridge to be listed as one of the most haunted spots in Gettysburg, itself, one of the 10 most haunted places in the nation.

NOTE: The Revolutionary
War lists are still under construction at this time.

In Memory of those who died...

The Kin of Rock and Roll asks you all to remember the sacrifices of all veterans. Our ancestors served bravely and nobly and it is up to us to preserve their memories, their honor. Let us never forget those who served for the Southern cause for what they did to contribute to our nation as a whole, despite that their efforts could not gain what may have been achieved, was fight for our nation's Constitution and their constitutional rights as a people. They are Blessed and honorable, and we are glad that they belong to us. The grave marker for John Gotea Pressley is, we believe, the descendant of David Pressley who is not directly related to our line. We still honor their service.
