That leaves me pondering someone calling a "set." I don't suspect there were any ballrooms around, but maybe a barn dance? Any other ideas? I'm fairly familiar with Bro. Aurelius Allen and his family. He would have been about 44-45 yrs. old at this time. More can be read about this family at http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaschley/migrate.htm#indian How about Ebb Hart? I know we have Hart researchers on this list. Maybe someone will tell us about him. Harris
