This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: LEWIS, SHORT Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/FKB.2ACE/44.1.1 Message Board Post: I have a Thankful Short who was born Kentucky about 1802. She married John Lewis and lived in Dent Co., MO. I need to check my database to confirm, but my recollection is that many of her female descendants were also named Thankful and some of them had the surname Lewis. Does this sound like a possible connection?
