Carolyn: According to Henry, many of the sources were family word of mouth. He visited all over the country talking to relatives and such. If you have a family bible I would say go with your info. I would like to have it also, to make a correction in my book. Now, I had an instance on my Smotherman's where it showed a marriage between two people whos named didn't jive. Found out it was a married name. She was a widow and the other name was her maiden name. Is this possible?
