Where do youlive Larry? Are you close to Shelbyville in Kentucky? My uncle was named Voris Montfort. If you are descended from either Francis or James Vories, born in the late 1700's in Kentucky, I have a picture of them both. Francis has faded out but you can still see the image. I was so lucky tht a 2nd cousin had tintypes and let me borrow them to make copies. My maternal grandad's gr mother was Katherine Vories and I hve her picture also.
