I want to thank everyone who sent notes of prayers and encouragement for my mother and father. Things have somewhat stablized for my mother now for which I am grateful. I read each of your notes to her at the hospital and she was touched that so many "strangers" would care so much. I believe it provided great strength for her to know she was being prayed for by my internet friends. Thanks again for your notes - they really helped us both!

Hi Maxine, Thanks so much for the response. I am not sure that this is my Hannah. I am trying to connect my Cosbys to the Cosbys from South Carolina.

Hi Marie, If your email software supports HTML hyperlinks, you may simply click on the URL address and it should launch the page in your browser. If not, copy and paste the URL into the location field of your browser. That will avoid any typos, etc. (Notice, the CMW is capital letters and must be entered as such). To access the Causby Most Wanted Page, here is the URL: http://www.netunlimited.net/~wcr/CMW.html

the link on your page would not work. Oh well. I also tried it on the Causby most wanted page too, and got no better luck. Is anyone else having problems with that, or have we found another problem with our system?? I am primarily trying to establish our link to Ryland Cosby, and his wife ??Emily. One other person has seen him in an 1880 census for Fayette, Ky. We beleive his father is Wingfield Cosby, and his mother Amanda Hudson. My grandfather was Orrie Lee Cosby and I have not even been able to find anything on him other than a SSDI date. Wingfield is origanally from VA - married in Culpeper Co. What Cosby's are you trying to find and I will keep my eye out for you also?? Some of Rylands children moved to SD (my bunch) one to IL, Ryland to WA in the Wenatchee area, and one son ?? to the Eu Clare, WI are. I have not been able to locate any of these either. I do know that one aunt died in wenatchee around 1966. I would love to be able to find out where the fmialy bible went - apparently the people who bought her home would not give it or any other papers that were left in her house up although my uncle did go out there to try to at least see it. Marie

I am also doing Causby-Cosby research...I noticed Hannah Cosby listed Colony of S.Carolina 1764 Colony SC Warrant for Land........
