He is one of the missing Luke children? He is born in the right place and at the right time. His appointment of Luke as his power of attorney adds weight. >> It appears as if Edward Lane is going to tie in with John Caswell Matlock I think the Mary mentioned is going to be John Casewlls wife ==== MATLOCK Mailing List ==== To access the MATLOCK-L ARCHIVES:go to <http://archiver.rootsweb.com/> To read a copy of the ROOTSWEB Appropriate Use Policy go to <http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/aup.html>
