You're correct, I was having a little fun with this new info, I hope I didn't offend anyone. It got me to thinking again (it's so hard) and I recalled an old newspaper article I have about Jameson being one of the founders of the local Baptist Church. Hardly the image of a womanizing hill billy. Maybe he was involved in someway because of his role in the church. Regardless, it's great to get the list stirred up again. My point with Mar Alice is that she was the last born child to Mary Jeffrey's.
