I dont even pay much attention to the spelling anymore; I have found the same person with their name spelled all sorts of ways! I have talked to other researchers who have fixated so much on the "correct" spelling of a name that they insist our lines could not possibily be related! Many times I have found transcription errors and, of course, the clerks who wrote names down spelled them however they sounded to them. Thanks for your offer of help! I'd really like to know how things turned out for my foremother, Elizabeth Creasy, in Missouri if anyone can find out. I think of her as one tough lady, for sure! (I did find her name spelled different ways, there) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
