I am interested in what it says about W.L. Clayton. He is one of my ancestors. Leota Clayton Sometimes it pays to read each message. Never know when someone will mention a relative. hos@peppersnet.com "David A.

Leota, He actually talks about his brother pretty fairly in the one I just transcribed. You can find it at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~unitycem/richmond.html Just look on the right side of the page. Hope it helps! W.L. sure did a great service to all of us who don't have any other first person accounts of what it was like living around all of our ancestors! By the way, do you know if it is possible to obtain a copy of the book that your cousin did a few years ago? Olden Times Revisted? was that the title? I sure would like to find one, but searches on the web turned up nothing. Thanks, Dave Webb Leota Hosman wrote: > I am interested in what it says about W.L. Clayton. He is one of my > ancestors.
