Below is raw data from Mrs. Scott's history. Can you sort it out into a more usable form? That is, how exactly does Seaborn Cureton and his daughter Martha Cureton Jones fit into this information collected by "Miss Clyde". Also, any direct information on Ausborn (Osbon) Jones would be greatly appreciated. This information is being gathered for the family of Myer Loeb Murray and will be passed on with your name credit. I am just a resource person--period. They are celebrating the 100th anniversary of his birth on September 23 (he being born on that date in 1906).
