Hi, again, JO We have actually chatted once before last November. Since then I have not had much time to research this side of my family. My father is ill. I have been spending a lot of time with him. I am very grateful for the picture you sent me last year of William Lykins. This is the story Norma posted. I can't say much about Joseph C and South Carolina, but evidentially it held two of the prettiest women around. There is a story about Dudley in the Lykins books from Magoffin Co. Hist. Society. It seems that toward the end of the Civil War, Dudley's outfit, and I presume Joseph C's outfit too, was in SC where they stopped to water their horses at a farm house. Mary Susan Cook brought the soldiers bucket of water and she was very sympathetic to the plight of the Confederate soldiers since her brother had been killed while fighting for the confederacy at Boonesborough, Maryland. Dudly Curl swore she was the prettiest girl he'd ever seen, and that if she would marry him, he would come back after the war was over. He and Joseph both returned andDudley married Mary Susan Cook and Joseph C. married Frances Hardy in a double ceremony at Dorn's Gold Mines, S. C. on June 8, 1865. I think probably the second wife of Joseph being from SC was probably just coincidental. Great to hear from you again, Crystal Jackson Cincinnati, OH
