Thanks Janet for the information on W.D. Thompson. I think this may be my relative. The oldest females of the family are gathering in Dothan, Alabama this weekend, so I will check if any of them remember an "Aunt Lethie". They sure remember Uncle Duncan! He was a sucessful gambler after the War between the States. Don't know what bothered the Baptist family most, gambler or successful. Still, they loved him. May I impose a bit further? All of these are, I think, from Lincoln or Copiah County, Mississippi: Elisha MULLINS Born: Abt. 1838 Wife: Peninah Elizabeth Thompson (born 1842) Thomas Jefferson THOMPSON Born: 1849 George W. THOMPSON (the "W" is, I believe, for "Washington") Born: 1851 Thanks, Kathryn --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!? Get email alerts & NEW webcam video instant messaging with Yahoo!
