I forgot to mention, I know I have "Joiner" relations in Dexter Mo. who are my fathers cousins. But, I don't know just yet how to tie them in. I was a child during the visiting and only know they were cousins. Since my family came from Pope Co. and Hardin Co. Illinois, I am sure there is some connection to the Joiners in Pope Co. I have been concentrating more on a couple of direct lines and haven't had time to pursue this family. If you learn of Joiners and Ledbetters together will you please forward to me.
