Thanks, Miriam--- Message ----- From: Barbara Lake Peters To: mbshare@mindspring.com Sent: Thursday, April 06, 2000 12:55 PM Subject: Father of Tunis Hi Miriam, I sent the check yesterday and look forward to the results of your hard work. Thank you in advance for sharing. Also, thanks for name of Tunis' mother - how about the father? We go to Richmond, VA tomorrow for an all-day workshop on VA genealogy at the Library of VA, sponsored by the VA Gen. Society. It would help if I had the father's name. I don't think it is Zachariah. There was a Zachariah and I think someone found him and just assumed he was ours. If they'd look at a map of WVA and see the distance between Hampshire and Franklin counties, they might think otherwise. Maybe. I have had the name of Philip sent to me several times as his father. Thanks for your help. We live just an hour from Romney - we hope to get there this summer. Barbara Peters Hagerstown, MD
