Hi Linda, I'm sure there is a connection somewhere, but I don't have it in my records. I think all these BONEs were related somehow. I haven't done any research in Hopkins County yet, just in Hickman County. The worst part about research in Hickman County is that on the census and in the vital records, they referred to everyone by their initials! It makes it hell trying to figure out who was who. So many women were referred to as M.E. or M.A., making it very difficult to tell if it was Mary, Margaret, Martha, Melinda, Melissa, etc. I'll see if I can do some skulking about in Hopkins County records on microfilm. I'll probably have to order them.
