Hi Barb, You mentioned the term "river pirates" in a post yesterday. Could you tell me a little about them? I am researching my KING family of Pope/Massac Cos. and Livingston Co., KY. An uncle (either GG, or 3G), Jeff KING, was a commercial fisherman out of Livingston Co., KY. I am hoping that maybe info about the river pirates might give names of people operating on the rivers. I believe my BERRY line also has a river connection due to Berry's Ferry, but it is another brick wall for me. I am seeking the parentage of James Henry KING and Matilda Ann BERRY that resided in Massac Co., IL in 1860. Matilda died in Metropolis, Massac Co. in 1869 and is buried at Farmer's Hall cemetery. James moved to Livingston Co., KY and died there in 1934. Any help or leads in the right direction will be greatly appreciated. Deb Mullins Kirsch Memphis, TN
