Round Ole Baugh Road,
Is a great place for kids to grow
Some grow up and move away
Most of us decide to stay
Round Ole Baugh Road.
The neighborhood still looks the same
just new kids with the same old names
My Baugh Road’s in a Southern state
Yours may be anywhere, USA
Look around for your Baugh Road.
“Ole Baugh Road” by Randy Owen
My daddy’s name is Gladstone Yeuell Owen. My middle name is Yeuell, and so is my son, Heath’s. Why his parents gave him such an unusual name, I have no idea. His brothers had more familiar names like Johnny, Albert, Virgil, Riley, and Grady. Mama and some of Daddy’s close relatives always called him Gladsten, but the rest of the world just shortened it to G.Y. It made life a whole lot simpler.

From this short excerpt I have learned quite a bit that I did not know.
Plus with little investigation on Rootsweb, I find that Randy and I are (distant) kin/cousins — via our SPEER ancestors…
I will be researching this matter further.
My initial research began when I was trying to find another couple of Randy’s relatives that he mentioned in one of his stories; when he spoke during the “One The Brink” Writer’s Conference (at Jacksonville State University, March 28, 2009).
