Here's the break we have been waiting for. Got a response from the Washington Library today regarding the letter I wrote on Monday to them inquiring about the Salt records. They responded very quickly! Here is the info in a Nutshell re: Obediah (Obadiah) 1862 Mrs. Obadiah Evans received salt as a Wive with a husband or son now in service (notice wive - Obediah still alive) 1863 (July 21) Mrs. O. Evans received salt again as a WIDOW having a son or sons in service (notice widow - Obediah is dead) ****that means that Obediah died in 1862 or before July 21st of 1863) 1864 Mrs. M.A. Evans received salt as widow having a son or sons in service (this is probably Obediah's wife - Martha Ann) THIS IS A BIG BREAK FOR US!!! We may now be able to find an OBIT for Obediah!!! Is this great or what? There are more Evans that received salt. The library sent me info on all of them. I haven't had time to analyze it all yet. The sheets are 11 x 17. There are alot of names listed. I will try to post these on the board for everyone to see. REMEMBER: this is not the entire Salt List. Bye pat
