Probably a fair number of the google listings are from me. I use it often. I will spend more time on the LDS site. Do you happen to know a site that would give the boundaries of Rowan Co. from 1780 to 1810? Some claim that my Nathaniel Mullins was the son of a Nathaniel Mullins from Franklin Co. Others claim he was the son of David and Athalia (Boyd) Mullins. Again, my thanks.

It is rather tricky to use as so many forenames and surnames are misspelled, and B is often mistaken for P and so on!!!<BR><BR>E.W.Wallace<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR></FONT></FONT> > > <P></P></BLOCKQUOTE> > > <DIV> </DIV> > > <DIV></DIV> > > <DIV> </DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML> > > > Hi -- > > The message you submitted to this list (included above) wasn't > sent to the list subscribers.
