I erred in my previous posting concerning Unysis' Licensing Fee. It is not $2500 per year, but instead a one-time payment of $5000. Apologies for the oversight.

How about Daniel Boone and Mingo. Rin tin tin. The Chatty-Kathy doll. Or how about when Barbie hit the scene? Only the Shadow knows for sure. Chocolate Soldier drink. Ronda

David Tagg was the dogs name Pozzydaz

Not only do I remember! I still have a lot of the items. So I quess I'll have to get the pigs to move over so I can wallow in the mud. LOL

The 'what's his name dog' is "Tye" Ronda

I think Buster Brown's dog was Tige, or something like that. We had a 49 Willys when I was 10 (1953), and I was so embarrassed to go anywhere where my friends would see me, because their parents all had new Fords or Chevies. It makes me so nostalgic to see my childhood "flash" before my eyes with your postings. What a wonderful time-well, for me it was! Where can I get a Barq's cream soda? Karen Alexander

Hi All that is not really a good one to go on! I am only 25 and I can remember my grandmother having quite a bit of that stuff! My dad's favorite gum was the blackjack gum and he only used powders for his headaches (living in Northern Illinois everyone thought we were crazy when he would buy a bunch of his favorite stuff to last til the next time we made it to Clarksville! ) The candy I remember very well and can still find it once in a while and Granny still had Grandpas Studebaker when I was born! She had the ice tray with the levers, and a lot more on the list! Actually we still have several drive ins up here and at least one of them still starts out with the cartoons :) Well just wanted everyone to know that I should be OLDER THAN DIRT according to this! LOL well have a nice day! Suzanne Tucker-Potts

Oh no! I remember 21 or so, does that make me over the hill????? Brenda C

Cher, I guess I'm older than dirt!! I remembered everything except Studebakers!!!!!! That's either real old or just no life!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL! Ronda

Carolyn is RWhitfords also yours? If it is I owe you an apology. I promised the people at that address more Sikes Information and It is still in my draft file. This is such a long document and it's taking a while. But over a month is pushing it!! Marsha

I have a William Wheatley who married Cora Brake, 1881-1975. Would be interested if that is any connection...LOL!!! And btw, my own 14th great grandfather, if Warfield research is correct, was Robert Wheatley....<vbg> but I guess that is reaching a bit far.... <grin> jan Listowner: Tnstewar-L@rootsweb.com Tnstewar-D@rootsweb.com ----- Original Message ----- From: <WChris9700@cs.com> To: <DanvilleCrossing-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, August 25, 1999 10:35 AM Subject: Re: William Wheatley > Hi Marsha > > No, I don't think that would be my William Wheatley.

Ira, You are right. I should contact Henry. Met him at the reunion in 1993. He is a swell guy! Thanks. Carolyn Whitford

Marsha, Yes, RWhitfords is my husband's second cousin who lives in Granite City, Illinois. Know he will appreciate anything you send him. He is a great guy! Carolyn Whitford

Cher, I really enjoyed reading your musing. I, too, still can-I put up chow-chow, my husband's grandmother's recipe. I learned how to do it, while watching her cook it on her old, wood stove, up in the hollar. My husband thinks he can't eat a bowl of pintos without some of Grandma Thompson's chow-chow. Thanks for the memories. Anne

No, that is a different William. My William was born a: 1760 in Martin Co., NC. He was the son of Thomas Wheatley and Mary (Gainer) or (Fulgham) unsure of mothers last name. William had a brother named Alexander Hamilton Wheatley, born 1757, he married Peggy Stokes. Alexander's Rev. record had been confirmed. We are now trying for William's record. Both brothers moved into TN about 1819, William settling in Humphries County (now Benton) while Alexander went on to Weakley Co. I know there are several William Wheatleys' on everyone's system and databases. I have checked out quite a few in all my research, and still trying. I appreciate all the help that anyone can give. He would be my gggg-father. Thanks very much. Wil Christopher, P.O. Box 1231, Lake Sherwood MO, 63357 or 636-398-4065 or 810-714-9301
