Hi Julia: Thanks for the update on the KING and HARKINS cemeteries in LCT. It's been several years since I last viewed them. At that time, they both needed a lot of attention; the KING Cemetery, more so than the HARKINS. The KING one will be difficult to locate in future years, if it does not receive some attention soon. I was surprised that you were able to check out a copy of my book From Wagons To Spaceships at your local library. Most libraries with large genealogical collections will not make interlibrary loans, or let individuals check them out. You were very fortunate, since the microfilm version of the book is most time consuming to view and read. Likewise, for the genealogical data that I have extracted and posted to the Internet at: <A HREF="ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tn/lincoln/books/wagon/wag2star.txt">ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tn/lincoln/books/wagon/wag2star.txt</A> The book is out of print. However, I have an unbound copy that can be photocopied on request. We too have been out of town. We just returned from a quick trip to Texas where my wife and I attend an 80th birthday party for my wife's sister. We were also able to visit cousins in Houston and San Antonio. Yes, my work career entailed a lot of traveling and family relocation's. But we learned a lot and got to see places most persons just read about in history books. We also helped a number of organizations set up and staff computer centers and organize staff training courses. This was all during the days when computers filled big rooms and had large staffs. Thanks for your note. Will be awaiting receipt of the questions that you have for me regarding our common ancestor, Andrew Jackson KING of LCT.

I have your book "From Wagons to Spaceships".  The Mission Viejo Library in Mission Viejo CA. got it on loan for me from the Carlsbad City Library.  I must take it back tomorrow.  It has been most interesting learning about you and your family and all the adventures you all have been on.  I thought my husband and I traveled a lot on his business but you have us beat.  I know that you and yours have had a most interesting and rewarding life with many precious memories. There are many questions I have about Ephraim and his son Andrew Jackson King our mutual ancestors.  I am making a list. When I was in LCT for the Chestnut Ridge Cousins Reunion I visited the Harkins cemetery.  It has not changed much in the last 7 years when I was there last.   The Bakers own the property that the Harkins and King cemeteries are on.  Mrs. Baker's mother told me that a few years back that someone did do some clean up work on the King cemetery but she did not know their names.  I think she said it was an elderly woman and a young couple.  My sister and I were not able to get to it as there were dogs and a bull in the way.  The Bakers did put bob wire around the Harkins Cemetery and I do not know for sure but believe they did the King Cemetery as well to keep the bull out.  Perhaps someone else visited the King Cemetery last Oct. I do not know.  One of the projects of the Chestnut Ridge Cousins group is to try to preserve the cemeteries. Julia (Wright) Molitz
