Hi Paul, I am also of this family. My descendent is Melzer, brother of Silas. Barbara Cunningham just passed on your message to me that she had sent to you. Have your ever been in touch with James L. Houston of Independence, Mo? He is a descendent of Silas and Margaret and has lots of info on them and pictures if I remember right. Like Barbara I would love to exchange info with you. Some of us suspect that we could be missing a link between James as he was pretty old for ages of children. I also have lots of Farris info from Grayson Co. and some from Ok where mine came to after 1900. My G Grandfather was James Matthew. Hope to hear from you. Sincerely, Patti Brandle Cushing, OK. -----Original Message----- From: Peoples <peoples@kctera.net> To: FARRIS-L@rootsweb.com <FARRIS-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Thursday, February 11, 1999 3:13 AM Subject: [FARRIS-L] Farris-correction >Sorry.
