Somewhere here I have some info on Anna Ruth Hand, who married Omer Petterson. When I find it, I will post it. Kay ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> Thank You Kay. I take it that these are Mary Julia's parents. All these years that I've been in the family, I've never gotten to ask her who her parents were, but then too, I only started this in 1989 and have been around her only one time since. She and a sister still live in the metro area of Atlanta and haven't seen her in several years. Your info would be appreciated when you have time. Thanks, Joyce

i. W. ALLEN6 RICKETSON, b. June 09, 1850; m. ELIZABETH ELAFAIR GARRETT, December 07, 1871; b. December 07, 1871. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Melody, did you notice the below? If they m. 7 Dec. 1871, when was Elizabeth born? Joyce

Herman, What was given to me was that Mose is Moses J. Tucker, son of Thomas Tucker and husband of Piety Grantham Tucker. This is from an extremely reliable source. did you already have him in your database? Melody > Can you give me some information on Mose Tucker? >

Steve, Sorry about that!! Boy, is my face red!! For some reason I'm getting you mixed up with Jeff Tanner!! I realized this as soon as I saw your post. And just in case you're wonderin'....... Jeff's family descends from Elias Kirkland, son of Kiler Kirkland. His grandmother, Nancy Kathleen Kirkland (Elias' daughter) married Baynard Tanner. Sorry, Melody > I don't know of any connection of Tanner & Kirkland until my brother > married one in 1976. And that was local here in Manatee Co FL where > my family has been from 1922.
