Sorry for the confusion but apparently the rootsweb limit is 10K per message on this list. It is 20K on others. (Both facts I did not know until just recently.) So at the request of several I am breaking it down into smaller bites and sending it in four parts. It is also available, in full, at http://www.compuology.com/cpl/bios1.htm#33 If anyone has similar accounts I would be happy to add them to the on-line collection of biographies and diaries, etc. Even though this is not part of my family I thought it was interesting enough to include for all. -- Steve Williams [email protected] California Pioneer Project http://www.compuology.com/cpl/ Tulare County GenWeb Page http://www.compuology.com/cagenweb/tularcty.htm
