Faye, Cecil, Tom, and Bonnie: You are all gracious people and I appreciate your prompt response to my question about Melus Thigpen. If I can ever be of help to you about any other names in the Thigpen family, I will be glad to do so. I have some of Smith, The Thigpen Tribe. I have information on the Folsoms, the Gilmans, and the Grubers if you need it. I am also researching the Woods and Hooks families in Georgia. ENP
