Donna I finally got around to looking at some of this information you have shared with the list. Thank you for taking the time to do this. You may already have this information, but I thought I would send it along anyway. On The Family Tree Maker's Family Archives, Marriage Bundle, CD #2 (IL, IN, KY, OH, TN 1720-1926) and CD #229 (KY, NC, TN, VA, WV 1728-1850) I found some information. I am going to insert it in the body of your email to make it easier to compare. I am putting **** in front of the information I found. Thank you again. Ms. Cecil V.
