    3. Thank you, Janet, for adding that clarification about my only picking up a portion of the graves at some of the cemeteries - while I've made that comment to individuals, I should have stressed that point publicly. I'd hate to have anyone give up on a cemetery just because We didn't list their kin. We're strictly amateurs. Plus, we covered 10 cemeteries in 3 days (2 of them rainy), so it was difficult, at best, to be thorough. As a second caution, I'll add that just like everyone else, we're only human. We can write down something wrong, or translate it wrong just like anyone else. Don't take our info for gospel - take it as a starting place. Thanks, again. No, we don't have any Dickersons. We picked up the Thomas's because we've got them in a line. So far, all we have is David Thomas b. ca 1820, his wife, Sydney Edwards, b ca. 1826 and his daughter, Amanda b. 1864, who was married to our John Harvey Buskirk. We don't know for sure where these Thomas's are buried. I've got this bad (maybe not so bad) habit of once I latch onto a name, I just can't seem to let any of them go by - I snatch them all up. As a result, I've got way too many notes. Everyone has been so gracious and shown so much appreciation. I'll repeat what I've said to a few individuals - we had way too much fun 'grave diggin', we'd feel guilty taking much credit. We did it because so many people have gone out of their way to help us - it's our way of giving back. But, heavens, I'll bet anyone of you can think for about 10 seconds & come up with several names of people you've met on the web that have done ever so much more for you. Let's just say we're a couple of nice people in a great big group of really nice people. Sincerely, Nancy
