Thanks Emma, I had that info - but it did give me an idea to start looking for Amanda under the name Manda. The strange thing is - I can find all kinds of information on Amanda's second husband, John R. "Doc" Hughes - and some on Lacy - but can't find anything on Amanda. I guess it's every researcher's dreaded curse - to have an ancestor named Jones. I have a picture of her - so I know she existed. Fran
