Jan, you are a doll!!! That is definitely them. Now, I have another question - what on earth is a puddler?? In the 1900 census, George states his father as being born in VA and Mary states her parents were born in Germany. I believe they were from all the family stories. Again, thank you so much for searching and I hope I can help you or someone else in the future.
