HI Jim, Thanks. I have information on some of these names that you have given me. Joseph Roper was the brother of John Thompson Roper, who was born in 1810. I went to the library at Huntingdon College, and they had a slew of information on John Thompson Roper, Joesph Roper, and their father John Roper. Thank You for the information, if I can be of some assistance let me know. Thanks Brandon Wallace ALCHILTO-D-request@rootsweb.com wrote: > Subject: > > ALCHILTO-D Digest Volume 99 : Issue 76 > > Today's Topics: > #1 Hello ["Brandon Wallace" <bwallace@huntin] > #2 Re: Hello [Jim & Donna Nix <nixes@mail.bhm.be] > #3 RE: Hello ["Jackson, Mike" <mljackso@bechtel.] > > Administrivia: > To unsubscribe from ALCHILTO-D, send a message to > > ALCHILTO-D-request@rootsweb.com > > that contains in the body of the message the command > > unsubscribe > > and no other text.
