Circa 1960 Donald Lines Jacobus lamented in an article in "The American Genealogist" that he feared for the quality of genealogical research. He said that there were so many published family histories at that point that people would rather use someone else's work than to do their own research. This he said could only compound the errors that he was finding in even the best of genealogies. Imagine how he would view "Ancestral File" or the many internet sources of family trees. Anyone with a genealogy program and an internet connection can download, merge and publish a family history in a matter of a few weeks. Plagiarism abounds and errors are so often repeated that it is nearly impossible, at times, to find the occurrence of the original error. As another contributor has pointed out, many people who have published errors seem little concerned about them when they are pointed out by others. We need to applaud Hugh and others like him who dig hard for primary evidence and share it with with us. Errors and family MYTHS are hard to dispel even when proven wrong. Most of us are probably not related to Robert E. Lee, even if great grandmother said we are. Most of us, too, have more questions than answers. There is not an abundance of good information, easily available, concerning the battle of Stony Point. I commend you Hugh for your tenacity and perseverance. Thank you too, for the many good pieces of information you have contributed toward Lee family research in the past. Gerry Shepard
