Hi Diamond and All Thank you for your replies. I find the fact about Lathamville interesting. Who did Mr. Latham buy the property from? The government or the Indians? Does the town of Lathamville still exist? Is this the now Crossville? I have heard the name Crossville was given by a Copeland, is this correct? Is Dekalb near Etowah? Is Dekalb near Sand Mountain? The Sarah H Copeland in this mail is my Sarah Hannah Copeland. She lived with her sister Mary E Copeland and James R Teague 1900 in Lathamville. She then married my Great grandfather Jesse S Hallmark 1901 in Dekalb county. I have tracked them to 1930 where they lived in Arkansas. After that I know Jesse died in Texas 1956 and heard Sarah H died there in Arkansas about 1940. But, none of the people I talk with know anything more about Sarah H than I do. Parentage is a mistery. Again thank you for your responses and the time you took to help, it is most appreciated. Best regards Barbara
