Thanks, Glenda! From this, it appears that Wm. M. Bastin and his parents moved in 1859 or 1860, just before the Civil War started. -- Gary Bastin ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 23 Jun 1998 01:01:05 From: Glenda Bastin <presley@ecc-uky.campus.mci.net> To: gbastin@bb.iu.net Subject: Atwell, Scott, Hulsy Witnesses Here is an Atwell who was a witness in Wm M.
