So wish I could come, but being in CA and finances and personal situation, I cannot.   I am an WBS historian.  My kin Larkin and Lucretia Watts Jones had to come to Mo and leave NC where they had been the son and daughter of the two most wealty families and leave everything behind.  My other line was in Shannon Co before and during the WBS.  This family left in 1864 to go to St Francois and Iron Co.  This line was Conwy/Conway.   Alanna --- On Wed, 3/3/10, B.
