Julia, Your "internet" point is well taken. I did not attach much to the Mississippi or Uriah connection, but wandered if you or others had encountered it. It was the additional children names that caught my attention. They, as I said, filled a gap in birth dates. Dates fit, location did not. If the children were born in SC or GA, it would work. One of the names was Thomas, which is a name I asked about some weeks ago....."Thomas" who died on the steamboat trip home from New Orleans at end of war of 1812. That Thomas was with Gideon, Samuel C. and Marshal in the same company from Stewart County. I havn't been able to connect that Thomas to a father, but I "suspect" that he "may" have been a son of Samuel (Jr). Could also have been son of Thomas (Samuel's brother), or unrelated....that's why I asked. By the way, In another correspondence, you mentioned something about the heat in LA.. I can relate to that, we live on the Washington coast. It reached near 80 the other day. Thought we would die. Thanks, Garland

Julia, I live in Southern California (Whittier) also and it has really been hot this week. We were up in Big Bear for a week last and it was heavenly.....such pretty blue sky. And cool at night.....good sleeping weather!
