I noticed that Steve Groh and Clint Morgan mentioned some STOKES. I wonder if you have any connections with a Silas Stokes who married Louisa Caroline HUGHES. They were in that area in the mid 1800's, give or take a few years. Would love to hear from you two or anyone else, to see if we have a connection.
