Hi Mary Sorry to take so long to get back to you. Thanks for your help and all. No we have not got With Bill yet. Would you have a E-mail for him?. A few years back when we were down to Calico Rock on a visit to our Aunt Georgia Beebe's we stopped at the motel and talked with some one not sure who now. He gave us a card, but we can't find it at the moment. Ada Montgomery Moore's father, John Ferguson Montgomery was a first cousin to my great grandfather James Ferguson Montgomery. Their middle names came from their mothers who also were cousins. Was Carolyn speaking of G.T. Humphries? We met him the first time we were at the Humphries Cemetery. A nice old man. We have stopped in a couple of times to see his son Larry at the Courthouse in Salem. It's amazing when we start digging into the past, just how often different family connections pop up. Thanks again for your time and help JIM M Mary Cooper Miller wrote: >Hi, Jim!
