Isn't this cool! I connect to Chuck on Caraway/Slater/Ellis - and to Doris on Yost - and they connect to each other on McCrander/Reed - I'm starting to feel like I live in West Virginia! Everyone in Daviess Co must be related to one another somehow or another! SharonW

Sharon and others, Please post your communication about your families online... there may be others who connect, but don't yet know! [have an UNKNOWN spouse surname, that ends up being yours!] As you have said, looks like everybody is related!! Thanks for sharing! Lanita

Thank you so much, Lanita -- for breathing some 'life' into this List!

Chuck, Here is my McCrander info: Nancy Ann Yost married Elbert McCrander. He was born 1-20-1893 in Kentucky, and died in Davies County in 1921. They had two sons, Cornelius McCrander and Charles Oscar McCrander. I don't have any info on the children of Cornelius or Charles. Nancy "Nannie" did not remarry. Thanks, Doris
