I really enjoyed the picture of the week, It was so cute and seemed to show personalities as so many old photos do not? Also a very good quality.old photo. Thanks It caused me to go to my Stephens ancestors fille and my Brattin /Woods ancestors file...I am related to Clara two ways: through Mary Susan Wood who is a descendant of John Brattin(d. 1833) and a niece of my Great Great Grandfather Monroe Brattin.(b. 1810) and Thomas L. Stephens whose daughter Mary Alice (b. 1831) married John W. Tucker and their daughter Martha Jane Marie Tucker(b. 1858) Married Seth Rederick Higgs (b 1844) This brings me to a question of all you Stephens researchers....I have Thomas L. Stephens married to Mary E. Hogan ? I notice Clara's forbears have Thomas L Stephens married to Rhoda Crisp and they are buried in Vineyard Cemetery...Which is not online.... Did Thomas L. Stephens Marry twice? or do we have wrong generations? Also what was Thomas Middle name? Lewallen? or something else? any help would be appreciated Thanks Betty Higgs Lamberson ----- Original Message ----- From: "Donna Cooper" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, March 20, 2010 1:27 PM Subject: [MOBARRY] Featured Photo > List Readers: We are still in California but will leave on Tuesday and > head back to Missouri so we should be back home by the end of the week. > It is going to be pretty hard to leave this wonderful weather and the > kids, too. > > Now down to business - Linda Stephens submitted a very interesting and > nice photo that is going to be our featured photo for the coming week. > Linda mentioned that they might have been best friends in her note.
