I am seeking information on the DeBoard lineage, specifically the family of Emory H. DeBoard and Elizabeth Crusenberry, of Smyth Co. His father was William DeBoard married to Helen Harris and later to Sara Lee.

I am also seeking information on the Horne lineage, specifically the family of William H. Horne and Ruby Gose. I have been able to trace Ruby to her mother, Georgia Lee, daughter of Alexander Lee. I believe that he was in the military in the 1800s. I would also like information on the Horne Family Society.

I would welcome any information on either of these families or any societies that may know of them.
