RW, The way i got the picture of this is, All are listed that are known Indian Traders. Good point you bring out and I can go back to the url and look around for more information but do sorta feel this list tells us that these names listed were documented to be legal Indians traders. I didn't send the punishment some got for illegal trading such as guns and other illegal sale of STOLEN goods from the ARMIES. That part was sorta away from the main subject and didn't want to distract from Gen/roots too much at that time. Thanks for bringing out that good point. ole Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard White" <rw@pone.com> To: "myself" <bobandgwen2@comcast.net> Sent: Friday, January 31, 2003 10:40 AM Subject: Re: [CREEK-SOUTHEAST] Indian Traders names ole Bob...
