Greetings Dee! Hot and muggy here in South MS---ugh. Just got back from vacation and read all my Bladen list mail----are you sure you didn't trip over all those books you use to keep us all so happy? You mentioned a Bladen map to one of the list members. Is it an old one? If so, I'd love to get my hands on one! I have a request. You have given me info on my MEARES/MEARS line in the past. I am specifically interested in any tidbit whatsoever on Jesse MEARES/MEARS. I have been able to find info on his brothers Jonathan, Joel, Joab, and James. All five are listed in the 1800 Census living adjacent to one another. I can't seem to get a grip on Jesse. Many thanks! Barb
