Evelyn, This is the one. I am sure the gentlemen will be interested in this story. I love little tales like this -- makes the people more than just a birth and death date. I wish I had been interested in genealogy when my grandparents were alive to hear stories such as these. We have one on each side left now -- one with a good memory and one not so good. I'm always badgering them about the past! I wish we knew more about that Viriginia connection! Thanks for sharing this, you'll have to send it again if/when the other researcher joins s. ---Celia :o) ----- Original Message ----- From: Evelyn E.
