Jim--thanks so much for this URL for the Archives! I knew that all the messages were archived but have never taken the time to figure out where! I guess it's not searchable. That's too bad, but it's certainly better than nothing at all. I was given the Dead Fred website by the editor of the Montgomery County Texas Herald, since I was writing an article on the identification of old photos. I typed in Barrett, and up popped those photos! I really would like to share my photo i.d. article with all of you, because I found out that far from being helpless, we are now empowered due to all kinds of help sources. A few hours of concentrated study and some experience with your own old photos can make anyone into a semi-expert. I wish I had learned all of this long ago, since there are many old photos that will never pass through my hands again. When it is finished, I'll put it on a web page so everyone can see it. The photos that I practiced on were sent to me by Carlton Cranor, a descendant of sister of my g-gf James McCan who married Amanda Barrett. Jim, I am very impressed with your Tyger plat map. It is wonderful to have it available! You know for sure that Hannah's relatives are among the surnames of Reuben's neighbors. Nothing happened in a vacuum in those days, families moved together and lived as neighbors. Wouldn't we love to have a sudden epiphany while perusing this list of names!? Thanks to Gerry for working on the Doughty line; maybe some day she will find THE clue....
