Something happened and this did not make it to the entire list, so I am forwarding it for Claude. (Claude it was Rootsweb's fault, not yours. Shouldn't happen again.) Seems I've seen that Desha name somewhere before, but unsure where. Claude has the names of SEVEN children for Joseph H. Egner, listed at the end of his message. --Celia Hartmann :o) ----- Original Message ----- From: <cwnimmo@smtp.vci.net> To: <EGNER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2000 11:45 PM Subject: {not a subscriber} Re: [EGNER] Eygner Eagle: Egners of Arkansas > > In my records it seem,s that old Joseph H Egner married A Miss Desha, and > her mother was the > Ferbe, Miss Desha was the dau of Robert Desha, Captain and Francis Ann > Ferebe of Norfolk Va...the captain > meet Miss Ferebe in Norfolk with station there...
