Margo, I'm curious about the "Kentucky Raid." Can you tell us more? Thanks, Suzanne > the family name that most jumps out of my history is East-and the East family was quite involved in the Kentucky Raid which , I believe, was cenetred in St Joseph Cty just east of Cass Cty. I have visited and photographed the Birch Lake cemetery and it is quite lovely. while this reply doesn't answer any of your questions-sorry!- i had to interject. Again, I will watch for any replies to the thread. Margo
