Hi Jim, How nice to see someone on the list from Pittsburg. I thought I was probably related in someway to everyone in Pittsburg but I guess I missed one : ) Checked my data base and didn't find your name. My dad was born in Pittsburg in 1900 . His mother died at his birth He was raised from 5 days old by John Lawson & Margaret Swann Fowler. Margaret was his paternal Aunt. Allen, Avery, Bruce, Culbreth, Davis, Edwards, Fowler , Franklin, Hudspeth, Mifflin, Mosley, Owens, Pyle, Richey, Schellenberger, Swann Tanner These were all related families. I am in St Charles County about 30 miles west of St Louis, but I do still get down to So. IL often. Have a sister in law in Herrin and sister in Benton plus many cousins around. -- Judie Swann Boone - jboone@nightowl.net 26 Vanguard St Peters, MO 63376 - USA
