Christ is in our midst, praise be to His most Holy Name.. God's Peace Jacob, Could you tell me where these Peckels lived, those that you knew? Maybe an adress, so that I can get in touch with them? The family lived in Carswell Hollow in McDowell County, West Virginia near Kimball, WVa.. A Friend of mine Richard Tinney married one of the Grandpa Peckel's Granddaughters.. The Old Man, made fine Violins and was crippled in his legs, but I do not know what from most likely Polio. One of his son's was Harry, but Harry was never married and had a bad drinking problem.. Harry's brother and his family lived with Harry and his mother and dad, but I can not remember his name.. This was around 40 years ago and I could not tell you much more about any address because the family moved away in the 70's, but I will do some searching for Richard Tinney to see if I can find him and let you know how to contact him. Jacob. God Bless you and yours, you are in my prayers.

But bestow upon me, Thy servant, the spirit of chastity, of meekness, of patience, and of love. Yea, O Lord and King, grant that I may perceive my own transgressions, and judge not my brother, for blessed art Thou unto ages of ages. Amen.
