Debbie, No I am not a relative, got interested in the family as a result of a project I was doing while teaching at Southwest Missouri State University. Really appreciate your offer, very gracious. I expect to be in Missouri in the very near future checking out materials in Columbia, Jeff City and Rolla. I thought that the McCroskeys may have been Presbyterians, principally because John Aven-Mathew's nephew was. So how do you link to the McCroskey's? Am sending the Christian County Library, a copy of Judy Logsdon Pugh's, "From William to William, the Logsdons in America and Related Families, Racine Wisconin, 1982 with the author's permission. Judy is a Patterson and McCrosky descendent. Next time you are at the library check it out. Again thanks for the information. Kerry McGrath
