HI John, Was interested in your Sugar Grove M.E. Church. Could you please look up to see if a John Thompson or John W. Thompson was on the member list? He had a wife, Maria Ross, who may be on the list. Thank you. Bobbie >From: John Sapp <sappjohn@erols.com> >Reply-To: sappjohn@erols.com >To: OHJEFFER-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: Sugar Grove M. E.
