Jim- Will you accept attachments? I will be happy to scan the pension file for you. Or, if you'd rather, I'll snail mail you a copy. Let me know which you prefer. Have a GREATday!!!

Families Thanks for replying. Yes that is me on the net. My gr-great grandmother was Nancy Garren Speegle - your Tom Garren's sister. I knew that Absolom's wife was Winifred Sutton, but the Sitton part is my speculation so far - I really don't have any proof on her side. I have seen the Town Crier and have enjoyed it very much. I do not believe I have the Lanning Revolutionary file.
