Thanks Jan. This is great. Do you know where I can buy a 1980 Stewart Co. Heritage Book? Living in Florida has its disadvantages, even if they are small ones, but I would love to be closer to Nashville and Stewart County for my research. Also do you have BW Dortch's e-mail address so I can contact him? Thanks. Rita. -----Original Message----- From: j <unicorn@sun-spot.com> To: DanvilleCrossing-L@rootsweb.com <DanvilleCrossing-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Wednesday, July 14, 1999 1:48 AM Subject: MORE Rougemont >Well Rita...I just found em in the 1850 Stewart Co. census too...Just about >didn't because it is spelled "Rosymant" (LOL!!!
