>Sharon, Has the "stink" over it calmed down yet? LOL Olivia< Apparently not, they were 'discussing' it on one of my Florida lists recently. Although, the actual conversation was thru a gatewayed message board. It is truly beautiful from the photos. I'd love to see it in person. If you follow from the top left hand corner he even begins with the Wooly Mammoths! His love of history flowed right out the paintbrush! Even though it is Baker history, it so expresses so many of our own areas. Like I said, the southern tip of Ware lies right on the border. Sharon

Friends and Cousins, If you haven't checked out the Baker County, Florida site lately, you ought to. It is the southern most neighbor of Ware County.

Well this list has certainly been quiet lately. Makes me wonder if everybody remembers that I am looking for the following. Parents of David Hickox b. January 13, 1798 in New Haven CT. Probably Waterbury. Married 1st in Camden county to Elizabeth Knowles. Does anybody know where she is buried? Then he married Sarah Altman in 1828 and they had 21 children. 15 survived childhood. Proof that Berrien Sweat Henderson had 4 wives. His name was changed by the Ga State Legislature for means of legitimacy. Who was his father? Who was his mother? Born Sweat. He called Capt. James A. Sweat "Uncle". Nancy Jarrell? Who was she and what happened to her.? Bunch of brickwalls and no answers in site. Olivia --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
