Dear Shirley, Thanks so much for the synopsis of the Gen. Thomas Posey book. I think this may very well be the book I take to Europe with me for reading. Great idea!! Thanks so much Shirley. Wherever you go you always offer so much to others, thanks again. Best Always, Your "mdroots-cousin", Charlotte (R-N)

Hi Charlotte, I was just interested to see if I could find any information online about this story. It is amazing what there is out there on the internet! There are two search engines that I find useful. They are Google and All The Web. Google is getting so popular that I read where the term "have you googled" was used by someone referring to searching with Google. "All The Web" has an advanced search where you can add conditions to limit the search. I found this information from Google by typing "Washington Posey illegitimate son". Shirley
