Bob, I believe the first I heard of Ima Hogg around 1945. The story of her supposed sister was told me by an uncle who did not mind embellishing a little fact with fiction. He should have known better. He was born around Tyler Texas and his father and grandfather were involved in Texas politics before the family moved to Oklahoma .

Hello all, I'm wearing my quaker-roots list manager hat for a few moments. I was hoping the Hogg thread would die a natural death. So far that's not happened. The subject of this email list is Quaker genealogy, and all posts to this list should be related to that subject. On a list with a dozen members, some side chatter is of little consequence. This list presently has 858 members, so a bit more discipline is necessary. (One comment from each list member here would result in nearly three quarters of a million messages!) We now return to our regularly scheduled programming, Quaker genealogy! -- Dan Treadway P. O. Box 72 Gilbert IA 50105 [email protected] http://showcase.netins.net/web/treadway/
