I have him listed at http://www.ancestraldata.com/ahnentafel/256/y-desc.html and I was recently sent a transcription of rather remarkable letter written by him. I have it at http://www.ancestraldata.com/ahnentafel/64/. I hope no one is offended by what he had to say about his second wife. :) Perhaps, though, Effie was a third wife. I don't know. -Michael
