Thanks for the responses. As I said in my original message, I am exploring the circumstances of Charles' death, and I want to find out as much as I can about his life. I want to go beyond merely documenting the lynching. As far as the Phares family is concerned I think I may have made a mistake. Another researcher sent me biographical info that gives the names of 4 of D.L.'s children but doesn't include Wilbert Phares as his son. However a Wilbert Phares shows up in the 1870 Census as living with D.L. in 1870 in Wilkinson Co. So now I'm not sure that he was a relative of D.L. I don't know who Wilbert Phares' descendants are so I can't contact them. Kberry
