Sam, Thanks for your reply and help, when I find names of people that you suspect are related and they are moving from county to county and state to state together in the same time frames, than I get a hunch and strong feeling that they are more than just friends. It is all just a hunch , I base my resource on facts and proof. I found Benjamin Junkins enumerated next to James Fitzwater in the 1830, Maryland, Allegany County, census. Benjamin is the brother of John W. Junkins who married Ruth Fitzwater. So what do you think? Les
