This is a large and difficult family to piece together. Please keep in mind that this was is a WORKING copy only, as I have drawn conclusions in relationships that could be incorrect. I guessed at migration patterns due to an associate family named KITTERMAN. (I still need to spend some money at the Crawford and Harrison Counties courthouses, having them pull pertinent vital records, etc.). IF ANYONE SEES ANYTHING SUSPECT WITH THIS INFORMATION, PLEASE CONTACT ME!! Janet, I will write you privately for census lookups..I am most grateful and want thank you very much for your offer!
