I can send the ones buried at Sugar Camp. >> Shirley - Thanks for the offer. The most pressing piece of info I would like to have are the parents of Sarah Jane STURMAN. I know that her father is "A.M." and he was born in McCleansboro. I know nothing about her mother. Siblings of Sarah would be nice as well. Since A.M. STURMAN was a judge in Hamilton County (guessing middle third of the 1800s), that info shouldn't be all that hard to find. Maybe he is the reason there is a "Sturman Street". If you are focused on building that branch, I can certainly supply you with all the RICHARDSON (husband of Sarah Jane) info you can handle. Thanks again for your response. - Tom Wilson
