Kathy, I am so enjoying the mail you are getting on the autograph book. I am finding people who are looking for people that I know and am able to help with information that I either have myself or have available to me. You are being an angel doing all of this looking for everyone. I believe you mentioned to me one time that you had a Dunham in the book. Would you be so kind as to look that up for me? The Dunhams and the Williams families that lived in Fairfield Township were all my relatives. They were among the earliest settlers in the Township. I have been to Florida and have lost track of where I am with you with the Linman family. Is there something in particular that I am supposed to be looking up for you? I have you in my Linman file in case I find anything I think you might be interested in seeing. I'm helping my daughter do research on a book about Elsie right now so I am digging deep into the old things we have in the historical room. I just may run into the name Rockwell somewhere. I have already found mention of the Linmans in articles that I have read. Leota

Leota, I think our emails crossed paths. I sent one last night with some things I'd like information on, though I'm interested in whatever you find on the Rockwells or Linmans. And I will pay for any copies or mailing costs ahead of time, and anything else, such as gas, etc. Just let me know. And I also sent an email today, about the autograph book there is an A. Dunham and a Willie M. Downe. Let me know if you want me to email them to you. I have an order ready to send to the Historical Room as soon as I can get it in the mail. I should ask you, how much does it cost to join the Society. Though I more than likely will not be able to visit in person, I'd like to be supportive. In my letter with my request for cemetery books, I included a question of the one thing I'm very interested in knowing about -- whether my 2nd great-grandfather Andrew Edward Marick Rockwell was in the civil war. A lady sent me a list of Rockwells from cemeteries and it said he had a flag by his grave stone. I wondered if it was for the civil war, who placed it, and where they got their information. Because I've checked many civil war databases and never found him. My dad always swore Andrew had been in the civil war. A funny thing -- several years ago in 1980's, my nephew had a friend who stayed at their house with the family. (They were teenagers) His name was Scott Linman. At the time I had no idea how uncommon that name is. At least I don't find a lot of them as I'm searching. So I never quizzed him about his family, though I feel sure my dad did. I'll try to get a list compiled with details for you of some things I'd love to have, but as I said in my other email I don't expect you to cover it completely, whatever you can do will be more than I would have had. Once again Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generous offer. By the way would the Historical Society be interested in what I have compiled for these families already? If they are I could work on editing it, etc and get something printed up to send.
