Hi Gwen, Yes, I believe there is a connection with my husband's DOUTHIT line. John H. DOUTHIT was the brother of James B. DOUTHIT who was married to Mary (your husband's ggrandmother). James B. DOUTHIT, b. 1827/8, Lincoln Co., TN., first known son of Samuel and Catherine DOUTHIT, d. bef. 1880, m. Mary A. Children: John DOUTHETT, b. 1858? Nancy A. DOUTHETT, b. 1861? William R. DOUTHETT, b. 1864 David J. DOUTHETT, b. 1867 These names are from some pappers someone sent me from out of the book "Here Comes The DOUTHIT'S". I hope it help's it's nice knowing we have more cousin's out there. Sue Merced, Ca.
