I forgot to include the webpage for the Friends of the NC Archives: http://www.ah.dcr.state.nc.us/affiliates/foa/foa.htm

Sorry that I gave the wrong dates in my first message of the above caption. BPW as alerted me that the dates I gave for the lifespan of Charles David Poythress were erroneous. To clarify now: those dates were *not* mentioned in my discussion with the NC Archives when I called to order the book. Instead they were just the results of me looking with less-than-care at a listing of the various men of that name in my database, when drafting my message to this List. (I got the birth year of the photographer and the death year of his grandson, who happens to be the man on the next line of the database index, & who had the same name.) BPW also alerted me that "The CDP family picture on the Poythress website should be dated about 1889 instead of 1891" (She & I had given that 1891 date to Al Tims earlier, in her email of 2 Oct 2003 in which she wrote me "Left to right is Charles David Poythress, Charles Vance, James Sneed, John Alexander, Indiana Peru nee Twisdale, Benjamin Edison, and in front seated is Effie, circa 1891.") Would appreciate it if we can please learn what has clarified the date to be 1889 now? Thanks. BPN
