Hello John!! Good Morning!! What a nice surprise,to wake up this morning,and see your post. I must admit,my cousins and I are stuck,on our Laws. I have photo's dating back to early to middle 1800's and No 1st names. ( Its frustrating!). Anyway,here goes! I want to THANK YOU for your offer even if you don't find anything,but I'm keeping my fingers crossed! I'm <G>ing!!! The last line of LAWS we have information on are 3 LAWS children. We don't know if the father was killed in the Civil War, or died. The mother put the children in the care of friends or relatives.
