Presley Family History
Elvis Presley is now a part of American History!.
Elvis occasionally visited the battlefield at Shiloh, not far from his home!. He sometimes took friends and/or family to see the monuments and to teach them what he had learned about the battle!. Elvis was very much aware that his roots were set during the War Between States, 1861 ~ 1865!. His gggrandfather, Dunnan Presley, served for the Confederacy in Co!. E of Ham's Regiment, MS cavalry as did many ancestral cousins!.

General John Bell Hood A gallant hero!. A tall, blonde hair, blue-eyed southern gentleman whose life took a tragic turn after the battles at Gettysburg and Franklin!. General Hood is an ancestral cousin of Minnie Mae Hood, the paternal grandmother of Elvis Presley!.
The Hood Family began, like the Pressley family, in North Carolina!. The Hoods and Pressleys had intermarried since before the ancestors of General Hood removed to Kentucky!.
