Hi Ed Thanks for taking the time to reply, Amos was the first off his branch to immigrate to MS (he had cousins who went to Michigan and later a great niece, and another two distant cousins who settled in Texas) and he had no heirs to continue his line, I am keeping his memory alive via the book. I can tell reading the book he and his wife Julia were well loved for amongst their community.
