Kathi, am not sure if your talking to me; I was talking with someone who had an aunt Carrie and Carrie is my grandmother's name. so let me know if it is me; I would have no idea why any mail would bounce at my mail box. well if it is not me; happy hunting anyway, Jackie

Is there anybody out there willing to do marriage lookups in Floyd Co? I'm on the west coast -- a little too far to drive! Thanks.

So you have surfaced again! The last address I have for you started bouncing a long time ago. I have found some new cousins - related to Aunt Carrie. What's up with you???? Kathi

Seeking information on the family of James Hood Perry, born around 1860, presumably in Floyd County. His mother was Martha Caroline Perry, who apparently never married the boy's father or anybody else. Her father was Mitchum/Meachum/Mickum/Milchem Perry of Orange County, NC. The family supposedly moved to Floyd County sometime after 1844. Any information appreciated, have info to share.
