What a story! You don't know what that was all about? My gosh, Mary Jean, I'd say you have it well in hand! That is SO interesting! Thanks for writing it all down! I'm sure that this will help someone! Me, I'm just looking for some Mitchell woman who must have married into my Garrison line...cuz we have the given names of Mitchell pretty often. But I enjoyed reading your email! Marti
