Although this tree is mainly about the Isham and Thorne families, which were the names of my maternal grandmother and grandfather, it is also about my father's family which includes mainly the Pickens and Osbornes. I don't know as much about his family as I do about my mother's, nor do I have many, if any, photos or stories. My mother's side also includes the Tafts, Hollises, Spinks, and others. It has been a voyage of discovery, and I have met relatives I never knew existed and made friends I would not have had otherwise. It is a never-ending journey and a story without an end.
