Hi Ellen, I plan to make a trip to Ft. Scott as soon as the weather settles down, and I will purchase the book "Footprints" if it's still available. **Thank YOU** so much for trying to help. I have made two trips to Ft. Scott and found a "real live cousin". He had left a pedigree chart at the little genealogical cntr. there and I found that we shared GGrandparents.... so I contacted him. Success is FUN!! I haven't experienced it ofter, but am making a little progress. None of the people you listed are related to me... that I know of. Peter Riley, I saw his name in Ft. Scott, but can't connect him, as yet anyway. Thanks again, Jeanne (Reed) Gaylord.
