(grins) I will go through some more of my notes and see if I have anything on your Samuel or George Francis. I descend down through Littleberry. If I run across anything I will get back with you. Good luck in your search. I am thinking though that maybe you might find something in the Albermerle (?) County, VA records! If I can remember how to get there I will take a look and see! I have a Samuel T that was born in 1898, his father is listed as Elijah Samuel Dowell. I have a lot to enter in my program, but have 3200 names now. Thanks Again. Cricket
