Lynda Wright, Thank you for the information on the Schrimshers. Lynda, I have the book on Will Roger's ancestry from the Will Rogers Museum in Oklahoma. I also have the Schrimsher/Schrimshire Notebook. I had never heard the story you told about Schrimsher being a trader, etc. But I found it most interesting. I'll have to look at my Will Rogers book again and see if I overlooked it. I would love to have the record on Mary America Schrimsher; my address is Peggy Nerren Grisamore 6559 Woodpark Cove, Bartlett, TN 38135. (Bartlett is a small city Northeast of Memphis in West Tennessee) Thank you for your reply. Peggy
