Thanks, just wasn't sure it was just me. Thot I was gonna have ta get me eyeballs checked again !! For some added notes: I no longer consider Edmund Baker (1776) 's m2 to be Elizabeth RICE. I have DROPPED the RICE and I no longer consider her to be a RICE. (Unless someone can find it in writing of course). It came to me that the only reason she was considered to be a RICE was the fact that she was seemingly the only way that Edmund could have been buried in the RICE Cemetary. Since I have come to the reasoning that the RICE Cemetary was ORIGINALLY BAKER land, she was probably buried in the cemetary while it was STILL Baker land. IE at the time she died, it would really have been the BAKER Cemetary and not RICE. There were at least 3 other BAKER's buried there before her & the first buried there was a Baker. nuff said on that matter fer now ! lol. Another question keeps rising in my mind (ALSO a VERY SCARY THING !!) IF someone was born in NC in 1776, could they REALLY have been born in what was later TENNESSEE ? IF so then what was the state of birth usually considered to be ?? ie could my Edmund have been born in a part of NC that later became Tenn and then still stated he was born in NC/SC ? I've always had trouble with moving boundries !! thanks, steve sspunk@aol.com "My mind is so big, that when my boat sinks inside it, I drown"
