Guys, Below is a note from Dorothy Avery, a one-time subscriber. Tom --[ FORWARDED PRIVATE MESSAGE ]-------- To: VSVE92A From: "Dorthy M. Avery" <dottiea@epix.net> Subject: BREEDLOVES Date: 10/29/98 09:41 PM Hi; my name is Dorothy M Croteaau Avery, dau of Henry Wm Croteau(Cabadian-French) and wife Nannie Laura Breedlove, dau of Daniel Michael Breedlove & Willie Christie Ham. Daniel is the son of William Jackson Breedlove & Laura E Funderburgh. William Jackson Breedlove is the son of Wilkins Jackson Breedlove & Mary B Taylor. Wilkins Jackson Breedlove is the son John Watkins Breedlove & Nancy Parker. John Watkins Breedlove is the son Benjamin Breedlove & Mary Watkins and Benjamin is the brother of your John Breedlove who marries Elizabeth Watkins. This also makes Elizabeth & Mary sisters. I do not know if you had gotten this far or not but perhaps we may be able to help each other out. Benjamin & John are the sons of James Breedlove & Lucrecy (WATKINS ?) but here the needed proof stops. Can you prove this? I had made friends with Hope Pery BREEDLOVE who is in your string and he helped me very much. I had corresponded with him for several years and had been to his home in Stone Mountain, Georgia. He was a very determined man and loved working on his Breedlove family. I will look forward to hearing from you. Dorothy M Avery 445 Route 23 Claverack, New York 12513-5145
