I am interested in it....if this is not the one like you have....I will contact the University and try to order one....and yes, Agnes Keesee (Clardy) was Elizabeth Clardys mother....Agnes married Benjamin Clardy... (Elizabeth married Geo. W Murphy and they are my gg grandparents..)...also, I tried to Google Geo W Murphy ...but didn't come up with anything....I have done some research about him....some interesting things he did....I have been trying to get into t! he DAR..via the Murphy's....and came to a bump...and couldn't progress further....I have been told that I could do this via the Keesee's....so may try that......thanks for your help...Sue Krause Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
