Vonda, Keep the stories coming!!! (SMILE) I, for one, LOVE reading them! You make the White River Valley come alive! For those of us who may NEVER get back to Missouri, it is wonderful to read about the area. I finally found a connection that puts you in my family tree!! Not that WE are actually related, but there was a marriage that related us, and I am glad. (SMILE) The connection is through the SHEETS line. If you start with the marriage of John Franklin BLANSIT & Martha J. GIDEON, she was the daughter of John Wesley GIDEON & Lucy May WEATHERMAN, he was the son of George Washington GIDEON & Martha Jane LOGAN, and she was the daughter of old A. T. LOGAN & first wife Eliza TURNER!!!!!! I love reading the stories and will add them to your dad's file in my family tree.... Hmmmmm now I need to know more about YOUR parents - and siblings - and aunts and uncles..... I knew we had to be related one way or another!!! Glad to find the link....
