Hi Leigh, You MUST be kidding. Most people are not "firecrackers" like you are. Most people sigh and roll their eyes when you try to get information from them or stick your request in a to do list for some future date. I wish everyone had your speed and efficiency and willingness to help. Do you have films of the area newspaper/papers for the year 1843? I can't remember what years you have. Of course I am still looking for my Mary TITUS genealogy and she died in Butternuts in that year. I should make a trip over to see you anyway.
