I was born Joseph Lowell Nolan in Bastrop, Louisiana in the year 1962. A direct decendant of David Nolan my great, great GrandFather. David was originally married to Anne Funderberg (or burk) and had a total of 25 children with two wives. My Father's name is Reverand William Earl Nolan (Age 79 and living well). His Father was William McKinley Nolan. His Father was Jesse Jones Nolan. My mother's name is Barbara Jean DeMoss Nolan (Killed by a drunk driver at age 56 on April 16th, 1994) She was a champion for the Special Needs Community and I still feel her painul absence today. My oldest brother is William Walter Nolan. My second eldest brother is John Charles Nolan. My older sister is Julie Jeanne (Nolan) Loker. My Eldest Son is William Nathanial Nolan born in Beaumont, Texas in 1993. My youngest Son is Nicholas Ryan Nolan born in Kingwood in 1997 (13). My caring Wife and Step-Mother to my children of one year, 3 months and roughly 12 days is Mary Knapp Nolan (46), eldest of the Charles Earl Knapp (age 71) family in Kingwood. Our Fathers share the same Birthday and middle names ironically. My children live with Mary and I in Kingwood, Texas. My son's mother lives in The Woodlands and works in Kingwood. We were tragically divoced almost three years ago after 19 years together. I am a Founder and Pres/CEO of the Kingwood Chamber of Commerce. Mary is a partner in a local Law Firm, Currin, Woest, Mielke, Paul, and Knapp. She was originally an ESL teacher but went back to Law School and has practiced Family Law for 16 years.
We have visited several local churches and we are still looking for the right church for us all. (this is a challenge)

I have recently asked and been told that my Great Grandfather, my Grandfather, and my Father are Masons. I can still remember how my Grandfather taught me lessons by making me watch what he did. He was my Hero growing up and now my Father is. I have always felt like I was being prepared for something special. While I have misused many of my Blessings from God and taken my family for granted at times, it has been made clear to me recently that He has been ever present in my life. I would be glad to provide more Biography information on my family if needed. We have a very rich History of Liter's in our Family.
