Elaine & all, you may recall our messages last summer regarding co-pilot Whitney F. Poythress, Jr., who died in World War II. I'm tickled to report that his sister, Patsy, has just gotten in touch with me, and she'll be in touch with Terry Row (son of the pilot) tomorrow. Patsy is fairly new with computers, but is very interested in learning more about Poythress research. I've encouraged her to subscribe to our Poythress-List and I think she will do so. Elaine, she verified that her grandparents were Simeon & Ola Poythress (She said his name is pronounced like "Simon"). She was thrilled to learn the further information that your census work revealed about Simeon: that he was a son of George W. Poythress, and that George W. was a son of David Poythress of Mecklenburg Co, VA. I told her that means she and I are distant cousins. Elaine, of course she's a distant cousin of yours, too, since your line descends from David. Back to trying to get my genie stuff organized in this new room, so I can find things that aren't on the computer <g> Barbara (or BPN, for short)
