In a message dated 6/18/2001 9:40:51 AM Central Daylight Time, Hi Gary, I have a Martha McFadden in my McClain line from near Fulton. She had a daughter, Rosa, from her first marriage when she married my kin Winfield Scott McClain. Does Martha appear in your family list as married to one of your McFadden family? I need her maiden name for the book I have in process. The family moved to Texas shortly. If you ahve any connection/interest in Rosa, I can help a little bit.

Billie, I was just in Fulton's courthouse on Friday. If I'd only know. I'm a FILES researcher as you know and would have been glad to run a copy as I was there for several hours on my McFADDEN/HORN/FILES/SANDERSON/MARTIN/ETC connections. Gary (Horne)

SORRY LIST. I meant to send that last message privately. Billie

Don: I know about the time it takes to get documents from the courthouse. In the past I have waited months! There was one gentlemen who volunteered to go for me, but I haven't heard back from him in several days. If you locate the cemetery information I would very much appreciate having it. Thanks. Billie

I am just working on cemetery files Billie and live out in Lynnwood WA so am not able to help with the court records. Takes forever to get anything from there unless you go yourself. Don

Thanks for the information on the children of Abner Lee Files. The Manley b: 1806 is "believed" to be my ancestor, the father of James Melburn Files. However, I haven't been able to locate "proof". I was hoping there would be a Probate/Estate Record on file in the courthouse that listed his children. The DAR requires positive proof and supporting documentation. Needless to say, that's what I'm trying to find. Any suggestions? Billie

Walter Fikes was b. 24 Sept. 1882 in Marion County, AL; d. 25 Dec. 1959; mar. Agnes Robinson b. 25 June 1882; d. 16 Nov. 1976; both buried Mt. Pleasant Cemetery, Distrivt V, Itawamba Co. MS.

Thank you, Charlie, for the information on the McNeices. However, it think it was directed to the wrong address. I'm the one who's looking for the Roberts/Conwill/Parker/Prestridge info. Thought you'd like to know in case you want to resend the info. Regards, Joyce Blue Snowville NH
