Tom, If it wouldn't be too much trouble, I would appreciate a lookup in the book for a James Franklin Jernigan/Mary Kate Ballard (my grandfather and his first wife, who had two sons born in Maxton in1890 and 1892). Thank you. Lucy Ward Spanaway, WA In a message dated 5/17/2000 12:28:05 PM Pacific Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: << Hi Joanne, I saw your response about away down home.
