I have a list of about 20 obituaries from the listing (including my grandparents, gr. grandparents) that would help me sort things out. Unfortunately, to order all of these obituaries from the website it would cost me $80.00 and I just can't afford that. I do thank you for your reply.

Thanks, but that information is my data. I have made a supposition based on many clues, however, there are no documents to sustain the supposition. Thanks again. Still searching for Volney's parents and birthplace. Jim
