Dear Carole, I think somebody copied a letter incorrectly from a tombstone or something! "F" and "P" could look alike on a weathered stone.

This MATTIE TRAYLOR just has to be the wife of John P. (not F.) PORTER, don't you think? I got the 1832 birth date for Mattie from "History of Troup." It showed no death date or spouse for her. Was only a listing of WILEY TRAYLOR's children. _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
