HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHETHER YOU HAVE ANY RELATIVES WHO ARE FAMOUS?  IN DOING THE 
RESEARCH FOR MY DAD:  MY GREAT GREAT GRANDFATHER "JACOB F.(JAKE) FISHER" OR "GRAND 
PAP" OF DECATUR, TN, WAS A LARGE LAND OWNER WITH LOGGING CAMPS ALL OVER DECATURVILLE, 
TN; DADS' GRANDFATHER WHOM HE LIVED WITH AS A YOUNG BOY & ADORED  WAS "DR. LYCURCUS 
GATES OF DECATURVILLE, TN"; AND HIS FATHER "JAMES FOSTER WYATT", A FARMER IN JAYWYE, 
MO. FOR MY MOTHER: FANNIE BLACKWELL, MY GRANDMOTHER, WAS A FULL BLOODED CHEROKEE 
INDIAN, MY GRANDFATHER, SILAS WHEELER A LARGE LAND OWNER, IN NEW MADRID CO., MO,; 
LAURA INGALLS WILDER (LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRARIE), MOMS COUSIN; AND LAST BUT NOT 
LEAST, RUTHERFOD BIRCHARD HAYES (PRESIDENT OF U.S., 1877-1881) HAS THE SAME 
GRANDFATHER "JAMES BIRCHARD/BIRCHARD", AS MY MOTHER IDA WHEELER, ONLY A COUPLE 
GENERATIONS APART. AS THE OLE SAYING GOES, "WE NEVER FIND OUT WHO WE ARE UNTIL WE 
KNOW WHO CAME BEFORE".
