Hello List and TaftWanda & Cathy I also believe I have in my family tree Tabitha Hattie Denning who married James B. Metcalf on 10-25-1891 and had a son Earl James Metcalf on 3-31-1903. On their marriage license shows Tabitha's parents to be William Denning & Kenpie Heather, Denning...James parents are George Metcalf & Sarah Jackson, Metcalf.. I've been sick because of my back haven't wrote much lately and when I saw this letter below I wanted to see if I hadn't also missed another letter on this list of the listing of Denning family...If so could someone please resend it or just sent it to me ?...I listed what I know of my family in hopes someone out there might find one of my families in their's also...Thank you so much..
