Virginia: Would be glad to help in the typeing of the rosters. One problem, I am in Mesa, AZ. The library here does not have such a book. Is it available for inter-library loan. If so where, complete name of book, anything else that will make for easy recognization. Jim H. ljhan2319@aol.com

Hi List, Is anyone on the list researching the DRAKE family? My person of interest, Caroline DRAKE, appears as a bride in 1848 in Murray County. Joshua BOATRIGHT and Caroline are listed in 1850 Census with a one year old son. My research is complicated by the fact that another Joshua BOATRIGHT family is listed in the county that year but the mother in the family is Angeline [also with a one year old son] so I need to prove or disprove that the women are one and the same. The only thing I have to go on is that my Father said that his Grandmother was a DRAKE. I am interested in learning ANYTHING about Caroline and hope that someone has run across her in their research. If anyone has advice on how to proceed, I would welcome it! Thank you, Mary Boatwright Yegge Gresham OR USA

Dot, Thanks for writing. I have been in contact with Jean Belew and, unfortunately, I have not been able to get any information from her. She just recommends things I could do and people I could contact, etc, but this is not easy sometimes. The List is not very active and does not contain much useful information, at least to me. I am not being critical as I see this in many othe lists, too. I am list dad for two lists and they seldom get any activity althought I have tried to find ways to stir things up at times. Thanks for trying to be helpful and good luck! Jack Milam
