Stubby, (don't mind if I call you that from your email address????) The DORTCH family is very consistant throughout history. Only 1 original male has been documented as 'fathering' the whole line of Dortches in the US. "Nutty" as they may have become in Western Tennessee (my editorial comment, having married one of them........please forgive me.....I mean no disrespect to the other branches of hte Dortch family who have gone on to accomplish greater 'things' and move 'humanity' foorward). There is an 'ole Salty sailor' who has spent the greater part of his yearning years in researching the Dortches......hopefully he is still alive........BJ....You still out there. ???????? Anyway, contact him thru the "Family Tree Maker CD's" (you'll find the Dortches on CD #1)..... If he doesn't respond, let me know and I'll provide you with his latest research info.......

Leona Wheatley, b. 1871, d. 1880 Benton Co., anyone know which Wheatley family she belongs to? Gena

Hi Gena, good to hear from you, it has been a while. I do not have Leona Wheatley, I have heard the name before but could not make the connection. Good luck, let me know if she is on our tree. Wil

Hi Gena, I was just wondering did you find your answer yet? Wil

No, haven't found her yet, but she'll turn up someday :) Gena
