It hit me after my last message, that I had forgotten that we are participating in a list that is owned by someone. (I forget the list owners name.) We are here by her patience and forebearance. It's very easy to think that this is a public forum and that the Bill of Rights applies. It does not. This is a privately owned list. For those who said if "Is this Russia" or "You can unsubscribe" that is not the issue. The list owner does not have any legal obligation to let us speak or protect our rights. We don't have many rights on these lists. She can let us talk. Or she can kick us off. That is her right. It is her right to allow us latitude to discuss issues. Or to kick us off without warning. Just remember. We dont' have any legal right to be here. On the other hand, I think her only recourse is to let us talk, or kick us off. Not much in between.

In the past week I've seen only two queries about gen. research. These things don't die down unless we refuse to respond--- Since I've not posted in quite a long time, I will post my GREEN search and hope we have on this list some few people who would like to share with me..... Thomas GREEN, b.c1725, prob. VA, m.Lucy DAVIS, dau of Peter Davis, about 1751/2 in Prince Edward Co VA. Their 10 children: Berryman, b.1753; Thomas, b.abt 1760, m. 1785, Eliza Julia BOOKER Rosanna Lucy Davis Elizabeth Davis Parrish Liberty, b.1776 Peter James All these children were born in Prince Edward Co, I have very little on any of them other than Thomas. If anyone can help me fill in some of the data on this family---either descendants or ancestors----please do so, as I have exhausted all ideas in my 35+ year search.... I've had to go back and retrace all the steps, and have had to discard much that I had collected....also lost a lot.....so I'm back to trying to collect and PROVE what I can. Somebody somewhere must know something about this bunch!!! Doris....A Texan in Georgia..... Still shaking the family tree and dodging the nuts after 30+ years! > It hit me after my last message, that I had forgotten that we are > participating in a list that is owned by someone.

D.J., Do you have any info on the parents of Thomas GREEN, b.c1725? Also, did any of Thomas' descendants go to Jones County Ga? Thanks for any info, Betty P -----Original Message----- From: D.J.
