Dear Dorsey Jude, Yes, I see what you mean. The James Harrison I have was born about 1847 and I have no date for Moses. I found him as an Uncle on a birth of one of James's children. But like you said, she couldn't have been having these children and also Moses and James. But it was matching up so well! What a shame. You wanted Karen Nelson Marcums email: kmarcum@se-tel.com She may see this and write you or vice versa. She has been on the internet for a little while but I don't know how busy she is and I don't know if she still gets the Markham list. I hope she is able to shed some light on this for you. I'll try to keep an eye out and figure this out too. It did give me good insight in fixing my Thomas Marcum and Jane Beavers line. You did mention something I am interested in. You mentioned that Thomas died only 4 days after his son William also died of the same illness, typhoid fever. Could you tell me the dates on this William? I have a William listed for Thomas and Jane, b. 1859 and I'm wondering if this is him. Here's a little nostalgia for you. Some of the children of Thomas and Virginia Jane Beavers Marcum are; Charlotte, James, and Thomas! Rhoda
