Marilynn, Can folks whose Gardners moved down the Dan river into North Carolina in the late 1800s play? My wife's family descends from Nathaniel Gardner and settled in Rockingham and Guilford counties over the period 1880 to 1895. There's a bunch of them in NC now.

Why, sure. We don't have any Nathaniels on our list. Are you willing to take on all Nathaniels?
