Thanks Jannine, I'm very frustrated because I can't seem to trace who the S is. I can't seem to locate him. I think one of Emma's children is a gr'gr'grandmother of mine. I really appre- ciate your help. I SUSPECT the S is for Stephen since he has a son named Stephen. ------------- Julia, the book, "RUST OF VIRGINIA" prepared by: Ellsworth Marshall Rust Covers years 1654-1940 Published by Ellsworth Marshall Rust It can be purchased for about $80.00 with shipping. LDS Fam. Hist. Library has it. The microfilm number is: 1036823 It is the first item on the film. I think I've copied 3/4 of it. Should have purchased it.
