But, I had recently heard of him when my LYONS and MORROWs took me to search in KY, and so your information on him was not only interesting, but now I do want to know more about him, for people to think he was crazy, yet what zeal he demonstrated for a whole baby boom to be named after him. Yet, even Jesus family said, at first, of Jesus, at Mark 3:21 "He is out of his mind." I saw some other interesting items to go back to also and one of my favorite poems. Sorry cousin J.G.Whittier.
