    3. Jim: I am confused about several things in you post; (1) The ages don't exactly jive for Robert F. and Marie V. in 1910 and 1930. I'm sure its a typo, but it should be checked. (2) Where in Tennessee was Robert F. Born and who were his parents? Good information. The reason I ask is some of my ancestors disappeared in that direction about 1900 and suspect they headed toward Arkansas. Thanks, Jim H. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
